Please refer to our Online Worship information.
Worship is at the core of our community life here at University Lutheran Church of Hope.
We have one service every Sunday morning at 10:00 am during the summer from Sunday May 26th, 2024 (Memorial day holiday weekend) until Sunday September 1st, 2024 (Labor Day Holiday weekend) and 10:30 am Sunday mornings during the academic year from Sunday, September 8th, 2024 through Sunday, May 18th, 2025. The sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday.
In the summer things get a bit more casual with one service at 10am and some more piano-led music.
You can use the pull-down menu above to explore more about various ways to get involved.
Core Value of Worship
We celebrate our Christian heritage through liturgy, challenging preaching and vibrant music reflecting many traditions.
More specifically, we value…
- Meaningful and Relevant Liturgy that engages all participants and that celebrates our Lutheran Heritage.
- Preaching Excellence from clergy and lay that engages our hearts and minds, and that challenges us to outward action and inner reflection.
- Musical Excellence that engages our hearts, minds and voices, utilizing both traditional and modern resources.
- The significance of Mission and Community in Worship by lifting up the ways in which ULCH cares for those both near and far.
- The Spiritual Gifts of all worshippers by encouraging people of all ages to participate in creating the worship experience.
We are deliberate about…
- Blending different musical styles – traditional and contemporary – into the worship experience
- Incorporating a broad range of liturgies
- Integrating musicians and instruments to enhance liturgy and music sung by the congregation
- Integrating guest preachers into the worship schedule
- Connecting the sermon and prayer petitions (message) to our mission
- Lifting up worshippers’ prayer concerns
- Tapping further into the talents and abilities of members of all ages
