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.

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!

Fifth Sunday after Easter, May 3, 2026
John 14: 1-14
by Mike Miles
“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.”

John 20: 19-31
by Henrik C. Strandskov
“So now I’ve given you two ways to find comfort in the story of doubting Thomas. You can followLuther and embrace your doubt and guilt, knowing that they are a necessary part of that Anfechtung— that ongoing internal fight that forces you to salvation. Or you can follow the Happy Danes who founded this place, and forget your doubt in the fulfilling joy of Christian fellowship.”

John 20:1-18
By Christy Wetzig, parish associate
“But the thing about death is that it’s the first step of resurrection. In order for something to be resurrected,,
it has to die first. So when death is all around us, so could be resurrection.”
