There is a place for you here at Water of Life Lutheran Church. Whether you are a curious neighbor, visiting from out of town, new to attending church, or a lifelong Lutheran, our doors and our community are open to you. Join us this week for worship!
WHERE IS WATER OF LIFE LOCATED?
We are located at 12340 FM 1641 in Forney, Texas on the north hand side of the street just past Henderson Elementary School. There is ample parking available including some handicaped accessible spots at the front of the church on either side.
WHAT TIME IS WORSHIP?
We worship every Sunday morning at 10 AM.
WHERE DO I ENTER FOR WORSHIP?
Enter the Narthex through the front doors and move forward through the double doors into the Sanctuary. Just before the Sanctuary entrance, stop at our Welcome Table to pick up a worship bulletin. We also invite you to pick up a Connection Card and one of our gift bags at the Welcome Table. If you need assistance finding a seat in the Sanctuary, please ask one of our greeters or any of our friendly members.
WHAT IS THE WORSHIP SERVICE LIKE?
We follow the Divine Service liturgy in the Lutheran Service Book hymnal, and the order of service is printed in the bulletin along with page references for convenience. Portions of the service are projected on the video screen and noted as such in the bulletin. We offer up hymns of praise from the hymnal as well as contemporary praise and worship songs. Services last approximately one hour.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We believe God is more interested in your heart than what kind of clothes you wear. Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. Most in the congregation will be dressed casually.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Children are always welcome in our worship service! We believe even young children can begin to grasp the worship service and that they learn more quickly to sit still and participate when they are welcomed into the service. Fun "Busy Bags" are available in the rear of the Sanctuary to help the little ones through the harder-to-understand parts of the service. We know, however, that sitting through church is sometimes difficult, and we have a Nursery / Cry Room available when needed just outside the Sanctuary doors. You will still be able to hear the service from this location.
CAN I TAKE HOLY COMMUNION?
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated at Water of Life each Sunday as commanded by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. Whoever has been instructed in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod's understanding of the Lord's Supper is welcome to partake. Our practice is considered "close" communion which means members of an LCMS congregation are welcome to commune at this altar.
