I currently attend a small United Methodist Church which I'm a happy member of. But I'm thinking of looking for a second church. My UMC is a small congregation and only has one sunday morning service. I'm looking for a place to worship on saturdays. I don't know how to explain why I want to worship on saturday as well, but I just do.
I noticed there's a local ELCA church near my house that has a saturday worship at 5:30 and I was thinking of checking it out. I'm pretty liberal with the exception of being pro-life so it sounds like it has the potential to be a good fit for me. What is their worship service like? I'm just trying to get a better idea of what to expect so I feel more comfortable when I go this saturday.

No guilt of life, no fear of death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
