Sundays at 7:00pm
Como Evening Prayer is a new worshipping community made up of people from many traditions. It gathers at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evenings to offer and receive prayers both spoken and sung.
This is a contemplative service, offered in half-light and candle light and with music; made up of readings, prayers and silent meditations. Bring your hopes, your hurts, and your celebrations, and join us at Como Evening Prayer.
End your vacation or a weekend at the cabin by coming to Como Evening Prayer on Sunday evenings this summer. It’s a great way to wind down and be spiritually fed for the work week.

Worship in the Parking Lot!
Sunday, July 17, 10:00am
Hot Dog Picnic Following Worship
Outdoor Worship and Picnic at Como Park
Sunday, August 28, 10:00am
Messiah Lutheran Worship Band - Mankato, MN
Picnic following Worship
Summer is here and our weekends are filling up fast! Join us for our annual picnic again this year. Ryan and Amy Magnus (Dick and Zarida Young’s son-in-law and daughter) will be bringing their worship band from Mankato, MN. This is a fun way to enjoy summer with outdoor worship, a picnic and great fellowship. Invite your friends and neighbors!
What: Outdoor Service and Picnic
When: Sunday, August 28
Worship at 10:00 a.m., featuring Messiah Lutheran Church
Worship Band from Mankato, MN
Where: Como Park East Picnic Shelter at Midway Parkway & Horton Ave.
(Picnic immediately following the service—bring a dish to share.)
Picnic Information
We are trading off every year as to who brings salads and who brings desserts to ensure that we are able to adequately feed over 200 people. Please try to bring a dish in the category that you are assigned, so we do not have an abundance of desserts. We are assigning dishes by letters of the alphabet: we request A-I to bring salads (this encompasses veggies and dip, fruits and all other kinds of lettuce, pasta or jello salads); and J-Z to bring desserts.
Donations will be accepted to cover the costs of sandwiches and drinks. This has become one of the most anticipated events of the year. Put this on your calendar and come—rain or shine!

All are welcome!
· From September through May, Sunday worship services are at 8:30 & 10:45 a.m.
· From Memorial Day through Labor Day, summer worship hours are 8:30 &10:00 a.m.
Worship at Como Park Lutheran Church is liturgical, participatory, sacramental, Christ and Gospel centered, biblically grounded, musically rich, and identifiably Lutheran. CPLC has an established reputation for these things.
The celebration of worship in music here has a rich tradition of organ and piano, hand bells and choirs, soloists and ensembles, congregational singing, as well as occasional orchestras and praise bands. The range of hymnody runs from children’s songs to cantatas and requiems. We celebrate all of these things. Less engrained but still present in our Sunday morning worship culture, are world-music, camp, current Sunday school, Christian-pop and praise sounds. Our aim in worship planning is to bring all of these musical and textual resources to bear in a way that honors and speaks to the text, the day and the season of the church year in ways that enrich and deepen our worship experiences.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. All who believe that Christ is truly present in the sacrament are welcome to commune.
Weddings are available to members and non-members alike. For a down-loadable handbook and forms, click here.
