A church home for God's people.

Hello, and Welcome

Grace Lutheran Church and Pastor Matthews bid you welcome to our home on the web. Within these pages we would like to introduce ourselves and share with you the hope that we have in Christ our Lord. We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship on Sunday mornings, as we grow together in faith, hope and love.

At Grace we use the Lutheran Service Book (LSB) to assist us in worshipping our Risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with one voice. Use of the Lutheran Service Book allows us to follow a traditional liturgy as we worship God using the words he has given us in his Holy Bible. For individuals with vision or other challenges, we provide a large print worship folder with all the parts of the service including hymns printed in one convenient package.

Families are welcome and encouraged to join in the worship service. Each week the children in attendance are invited to join Pastor near the altar for a message geared to young listeners. Interesting and surprising things often come out during these messages. Children and adults alike come away from these messages with something new to ponder.

After our worship service, we invite all our members, guest and visitors to join us for coffee, juice and treats. During this time of informal fellowship we have an opportunity to get to know each other better, and to let the light of Christ shine through us to each other. It is also a great time to follow up with Pastor on any questions that arose during the service or to discuss the events in the world around us. We also love to hear about the good things that are happening in the lives of our family and friends.

If you would like additional information, I would enjoy talking with you either by phone at
253-472-7105, or you can e-mail me at: Pastor@gracelutherantacoma.org.

May God bless you today and every day!
Pastor James A. Matthews
