Mount Calvary Propers Choir Update
Propers Choir will sing on Sunday, January 14. This informal choir meets before the service on occasional dates to practice pieces to be sung for worship. Propers Choir is an opportunity for those with little or no choir experience to increase their confidence and their love of singing. Propers Choir is an opportunity for experienced singers to lend their voices to lead the congregation in the praises of the Lord, and to assist with surrounding newer singers with their sturdy singing. Propers Choir is a “schedule available” choir which means that you come when your schedule permits. Propers Choir is open also to all children or youth who have been confirmed. Propers Choir takes its name from the parts of the liturgy each week that are specific or “proper” to that Sunday such as hymns, psalms, and introits, selections that this choir will often sing. Propers Choir is led by Mr. Gabriel Edwards and will normally meet a half hour before the service begins in the choir room. Our next date to sing is Sunday, January 14! Meet in the Choir Room at 8:30AM to practice if you can join us!

January 14 Worship & Bible Class
On Sunday we gather to hear of Jesus turning water into wine. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.
Old Testament: Amos 9:11-15
Psalm: Psalm 111:1-10
Epistle: Romans 12:6-16
Gospel: John 2:1-11
Come, join in Cana’s feast
Where Christ is honored guest.
He welcomes all who come to taste
The wine His hands have blessed.
Come, friends, and share the feast;
Here drink the wine supplied
By Him who is both guest and host—
For us, the crucified.

Join us for Adult Bible Class in the Evangelism Wing after the worship service.This week we are back to Romans! Having dealt with the “what we believe” in the first eleven chapters of the book, Paul deals with three chapters of “how do we then live.” In chapter 12 he spoke about our lives as living sacrifices, in chapter 13 he dealt with our duties to the governing authorities as citizens, and now in chapter 14 Paul concludes this section of Romans with teaching on the role of ceremonies in the church.
Mount Calvary Youth Class Update
Youth Class will meet with their new teacher, Mr. David-Paul Schulze. The youth will be tackling Luther’s Large Catechism and considering what these faithful words mean for their lives as Christians. Parents, please make it a point to introduce yourself to David-Paul if you haven’t already, thank him for his service, adding him and his class to your prayers, and supporting his work by your child’s faithful participation.
