Holy Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd weekends of each month.  Here at Desert Hills Lutheran Church, we have an "open-table" policy; therefore, anyone who professes Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior may partake of communion.  We have a choice of red wine or white grape juice; you may also choose regular wafers or gluten-free wafers at each service.

Healing services  are held on the 2nd Sunday after the 11 am worship service.  Anyone wanting prayers for healing may come forward.  One of our pastors offers specific prayers for each individual and the anoints him or her with oil.  Healing services are prayerful, quiet, and solemn  times. Those who remain in the pew may offer silent prayers for those who come forward.

Baptism of babies, children or adults during the worship service. 

Contact Pastor Overson to set up a time.
