WORSHIP ON SUNDAY MORNINGS AT GLORIA DEI
Worship is an integral part of our life as a community of believers. Our service is composed of the traditional Lutheran liturgy with sermons that relate to every day life.

Worship services are held at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday. Holy Communion is offered at each service.

Music is a cornerstone to our worship experience. Our outstanding adult choir and special musical offerings are enhanced by our sanctuary's extraordinary acoustics.

Children are very welcome to attend worship services. Children are gifts of God and we want to include children of all ages in our worship life together as a family of faith. Part of our welcoming of young children and parents includes a children's message and "quiet bags" for children's use in the sanctuary during worship. Another available service is the nursery. Each Sunday, following the children's message, a nursery attendant will be in the narthex (back) of the church to meet any parents and children (usually age 5 and under) who would like to use the nursery. Following the sermon and the prayers of intercession, the nursery attendant will plan to return the children to worship during the sharing of the peace so they can participate in the remainder of the service. Thanks for bearing with us as we try this approach. If you would be willing to serve on a volunteer attendant rotation, please speak to Sherry Dalager or Pastor Carlson.


We strive to welcome visitors and familiar faces alike. All visitors and members are invited to join us downstairs in the Hillside room for coffee, refreshments, and visiting after the Sunday morning service. If you are interested in being part of the new member class please contact Pastor David Carlson at pastor@gloriadeiduluth.org.

Gloria Dei is a Reconciling in Christ Church. Our congregation has made a formal commitment to reach out and include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender believers in all aspects of our church life. (Click to read more about what a RIC church is about.)
