First-time Guest Comments

Here are the latest from the cards we send first-time guests:

Woodbury

• I’ve returned for my second visit.
• Loved the worship, music and preaching.
• We’ve noticed when there is a rock band on stage you’re never quite sure who the pastor is, they where street clothes and don’t stand out. My husband noted there is no Lord’s Prayer said during the service. Why do all the Lutheran Churches have only modern services late in the morning? I am a traditionalist who will never make that 8 a.m. service and like going after 10 a.m.

• I enjoyed the service and plan on participating more this fall.

• I loved the service. I am new to church and I found the service very engaging. The nursery was amazing and my son seemed very happy. Everyone was very friendly and willing to show me around and answer any questions! 
  
• I was turned off by the secular “Rout 66” song/flashing lights at the beginning of the service. I would have preferred something with a more reverent atmosphere for entrance into worship. This was my only major concern. Otherwise, good worship, sermon, and friendly atmosphere.  
• Good: big screens, free coffee, barn views, spacious lobby, comfy lounge, comfy church chairs, personable pastor, friendly people, good worship team, free mug/candy. Odd: unattended communion stations, no traditional songs.

• Great job! People were very welcoming. My children enjoyed the children’s ministry programs. I appreciated the message and the style of music as well. The only red flag was your very small size given that you’ve been around for 2 years.
