WORSHIP WITH US
Join Living Grace for Worship at the historic Garrick Theatre in Hawley, Minnesota.
Summer Worship Schedule:
Tuesday evenings - 6:30 p.m.
We also provide special services for Christmas Eve and Holy Week.
The Living Grace worshipping community gathers weekly at the Historic Garrick Theatre (509 Front Street, Hawley, MN) to praise and worship God. Our worship helps form and support us in our life and faith.
We come from many backgrounds and experiences, but each week we come together around Word and Sacrament to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, to be fed in faith, to be strengthened by God’s holy presence, and to be sent into the world renewed in our mission.
It is really a blessing and opportunity to gather together for in-person worship, and there really is no substitute. However, there are times when it is impractical or unsafe, as during winter storms and dangerous frigid temperatures. At these times, the Leadership Team may decide to worship on-line by Zoom.
Our worship style at Living Grace leans toward "traditional” with a reverent yet relaxed manner. Every service is slightly different, from the readings and sermons, to hymns and prayers. Yet no matter the differences from service to service, what remains the same is that we gather in Jesus’ name to offer worship and praise, to hear God’s Word, and to receive our Lord’s holy presence.
We also host special services throughout the Liturgical year, including Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday.
Everyone is welcome to join us for worship, fellowship, and discipleship!
Communion
The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated once a month. Communion is the Lord’s Supper and all are welcome. Children who have not yet received communion may come forward for a blessing.
Let the Children Come
Living Grace believes that children belong in worship and we are thankful for their presence among us. When you worship together regularly, the presence of God is built into family life.

Tips for bringing children to worship
- Try to come early enough to get settled. Sit where your child can see as children who can see what is happening feel more involved and connected. There are tables and chairs one level up from the chairs facing the altar. Feel free to sit at the tables with your child, especially a younger child, if this fits your needs better.
- Introduce yourself and your child to the people sitting nearby.
- Children learn all the time, whether you're intentionally teaching or not. They can learn "etiquette" by instruction. Feel free to whisper during the service to help them learn. They also learn from behavior that is modeled for them. Strive to model good worship skills.
- Always laugh with children, never at them.
- Encourage children to participate in every element of worship.
- Share the hymnal and bulletin with your child at her/his eye level. Line the words with your finger for younger readers and even non-readers who can pick out repetitive words.
- Encourage your child to put your offering (or their own small offering) in the offering plate. Make giving a regular part of their worship experience.
