Clubs and Groups

Joining a club or group is a great way to meet new people and get involved in an activity you enjoy. Clubs we may offer include tennis, golf, outdoor sports, knitting, new mother's, Bible study, and self-defense. Contact us for more information and meeting times.

MUSIC PROGRAM: Do you sing, play an instrument, or have directing ability? We have three musical groups: The Senior Choir, led by Alyn Heim; our Handbell Choir, led by Alexandra Hildebrand; and our Youth Choir, led by Vincent Wernerspach. Each usually adds to worship about once a month.

BOWLING TEAM: Knocking over pins with balls is the excuse some members have for weekly socializing. They are part of the mixed Church League which bowls each Monday during the regular season at Howell Lanes. Contact Ken French, 905-6799.

WOMEN’S SOCIETY: You can be a part of the life of the Church beyond our congregation by joining the Women’s Society. Each month the ladies gather to review progress and plan projects such as New Eyes for the Needy (which recycles eyeglasses), mite boxes (collected coins to fund ministries in New Jersey and around the world), and fund-raisers for the congregation’s special needs. There is also time for devotions, food, fellowship, and programs of interest.
The worldwide programs are through the society’s affiliation with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. Meetings are held after the late service the first Sunday each month. For information contact President Anne Cullen, 732-363-4816.

ALTAR GUILD: If you enjoy seeing worship done well, the Altar Guild is the place for you. Members prepare the altar, candles, and sacramental ware. They set out books, give flowers to donors, change paraments, and clean appointments. Their work is the necessary but overlooked preparation for worship to be enjoyable and meaningful. Contact Dir. Lisa Tess, 732-905-0687, for more details.

USHERING STAFF: Do you like to make people feel at home? There’s a place for you on our ushering staff. Rotating monthly, teams greet worshipers, provide assistance, receive offerings, and usher to communion (among other duties). See usher captains to join a team.

TELLERS LIST: Members balance the offerings and send reports on to our secretary for data entry and treasurer for bill paying. This is one job you can do simply by staying after church on Sunday morning!

LECTOR LIST: Members read the first two lessons for services at which there is no Elder. If you can read and speak clearly, the lectern is the place for you.

FELLOWSHIP: We also have a place set for you at several pot-lucks held annually, often before meetings and sometimes just for the fun of it. The Women’s Society, Elders Committee, Youth, and Sunday School have all hosted events. An annual Church Picnic, yard sale, and other events involve the whole congregation. We hope you will take these opportunities to get to know us better.
