At St. Paul's we believe that Christians worship to receive from God the blessings He
desires to give us. So, worship is more about what God is giving to us than what we
are giving to God. For millenia the Church has followed a set pattern of worship to
emphasize God's gift of the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ.

At St. Paul's we continue to honour that good and God-pleasing pattern. In the Holy
Liturgy we confess our need for forgiveness to God, and hear Him proclaim that we
are forgiven for Jesus' sake. We hear God's Word read from the Old Testament and
the New Testament. Our pastor preaches God's condemnation of sin and the gift of His
grace in Christ. The Lord's Supper, Jesus' last will and testament to His people, is
offered at every Sunday service.

All members in good standing of our Church (The Evangelical Lutheran Church of
England) or a sister Lutheran Church we are in fellowship with are invited to receive
Holy Communion when visiting our church. Non-Lutherans are welcome to come
forward for a blessing. Please speak to our pastor before the service if you would like
to receive Communion.

Since the 16th Century the Lutheran Church has been known for its rich musical
heritage (for instance, JS Bach was a Lutheran). If you would like to know more about
