Grace Lutheran Church

About this church

Grace Lutheran Church in Albert Lea gathers for worship every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. in the sanctuary at 918 Garfield Avenue. The congregation belongs to the Southeastern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. A service usually lasts about an hour, and visitors can pick up a service guide and sit wherever they like. Communion is open to everyone, and a kids' area sits in the middle of the sanctuary. Extra services are added during Lent and Advent. Worship is also live streamed on Facebook, and past services are archived on Facebook and YouTube.

Sunday School for preschool through fifth grade follows worship at 10:10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall, with Bible stories, songs, crafts, and a snack. Confirmation is offered for grades 7-9, and students in grades 8-12 can join a youth summer trip and other youth events. Music groups include Grace Choir for ages 16 and up, which rehearses Wednesday evenings, and the Bells of Praise handbell choir. Outreach includes Food for Backpacks, which sends weekend meals home with local school children, plus Lutheran World Relief quilts and kits. Other groups include GriefShare, Bible studies, and a WELCA and quilting group.
