honoring the past,
embracing the future

Join us for our thriving Sunday worship service!

It is filled with inspiring music, engaging lay participation, and
thoughtful reflections on lectionary texts.

Current Sunday Schedule:

8:30 a.m. – Mindfulness Meditation
10:00 a.m. – Worship
11:00 a.m. – Coffee and Fellowship  

At West Denmark, in true Grundtvigian style, our worship services blend traditional liturgy with a deep sense of appreciation of the natural world and concern for social justice. As we gather in our serene sanctuary overlooking Little Butternut Lake, we find inspiration in the peacefulness of nature, which deepens our connection to God and each other. New hymns mix with old, the ancient words of worship are sung even as we explore new inspirations and new ways of hearing and experiencing Christ’s advent among us.

All are welcome! Whether you might be seeking a church to join or just want to check us out, you’re sure to encounter our eagerness to welcome!

Matthew 14:22-33

“The beauty of the darkness before dawn, the blessing of storms, is that these are the places where we can know most tangibly just how fragile the idol of ourselves really is. And as the idol that is our ego, our pride, quavers and fails, this is the time we can most expect God to show up.

Matthew 11:16-20; 25-30

“This spiritual truth, that God’s kingdom is not a physical territory, is an eternal reality that the dominion of God is in the hearts of individuals who have experienced a divine transformation and a radically inverted value system. You know you are there when you have peace, righteousness, and joy. You feel interconnected and feel the transformative power of Love.”

Fifth Sunday after Easter

by Mike Miles

John 14: 1-14

“For us to do even greater things than he did is a nod to Jesus’ belief in us. He got the ball rolling some 2,000 years ago (with the distinct advantage of being fully God and fully human), passed off the responsibility to his circle of besties who made it through boot camp, and they unleashed the rest of us, across the globe and throughout time, to give people the tools to become fully realized, loving, human beings.”
