Worship

Worship service with communion is offered at Brush Creek Evangelical Lutheran Church at 9:45 a.m. Sunday mornings.

A change of time for worship service was approved at our annual Congregational Meeting. Beginning January 1, 2025 our worship service will be at 9:30 a.m.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH

During our services in November we will be lifting up in prayer our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church around the world. According to the World Watch List, the Top 50 countries where Christians are most persecuted for their faith comprise over 365+ million Christians suffering high to severe persecution. That’s 1 in 7 believers worldwide (Five years ago this number was 1 in 9 believers). One of the reasons is that the church is growing in some of the most hostile environments to be a Christian. In 2023, there were 280,000 Christians forced from their homes because of their faith (double the numbers in 2022). Behind these numbers is a human story. During this year may we remember to lift up our brothers and sisters in our prayers.

Top 10: North Korea (1); Somalia (2); Libya (3); Eritrea (4); Yemen (5); Nigeria (6); Pakistan (7); Sudan (8); Iran (9) and Afghanistan (10). Information related to how you can be involved in daily prayers and other means to support our Christian family in parts of the world where to speak Jesus’ name, own just a page of a Bible, meet in prayer, Bible study or worship can mean hardships, persecution and even death, can be found at Voice of the Martyrs www.persecution.com and Open Doors www.opendoorsusa.org
