All are welcome; if you choose to not receive communion, please come forward for a spoken blessing with your hand across your chest. If you need gluten-free bread, please tell the minister. If you want communion but have difficulty coming forward, please let the usher know and they will make sure a minister comes to your seat.

Looking for different worship experience or a new “church family” in the area?
We know visiting a new place can feel intimidating, so here are seven tips to help you:
Call (863-859-2264) or e-mail (lovinglutherans@gmail.com) the church office during the week (or send us message through our Facebook page) and we will have an extra greeter ready to help you.
Consider an in-person tour and a chance to meet our Pastor before attending worship. You can usually do that during Pastor’s posted office hours (Monday, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.; Thursday, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.; and Sunday, 12 Noon to 2 p.m.) or make an appointment. You can also “check us out” ahead of time (worship recordings, event details, Bible-based devotions, and more) by visiting our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/lovinglutherans).
We have four handicapped spots near the portico (the covered drive-through). More paved parking is available, but you can also park on the grass under the trees or in the front yard. You may drop-off passengers at the portico before parking.
Come on in! The door to the left under the portico (the covered drive-through) should be unlocked. If not, please ring the doorbell (which is to the right of the right door under the portico).
Just walk-up or roll-up to the podium. One of our greeters will ask for your name and write it down (or check it off, if you have recently visited). First-time visitors will be introduced to “their” greeter (possibly a council representative) and given a connection card to fill-out, so that we can stay in touch.
Restrooms are located through the double-doors to the right of the water fountains and pictures of council representatives. Be aware that the room lights will come on automatically! If you have trouble hearing during the service, let someone know, so we can make adjustments.
