Mellingers Lutheran Church worships every Sunday morning at 9:00 am with a service of Word and Sacrament which means the Bible is read, the Gospel proclaimed, Confession and Forgiveness is offered and Holy Communion is shared with all who are Baptized in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. All are welcome. A nursery is available during worship.
Every Saturday from 5:00-530 pm a quiet reflective chanted service of Evening Prayer- Vespers is held.
