The Women of Mount Calvary Update

All women of the congregation are welcome to attend this class no matter what their knowledge is of the bible. Please speak with Mary Anne Sylvester or Deb Lynch for more information.

October 15 Worship & Bible Class
A paralyzed man comes to Jesus through the aid of his friends. The Lord absolved the paralytic and healed and restored this man’s body. The Lord still has power on earth to forgive sins. In holy absolution He raises up the new man and bestows the healing medicine which will bring about our resurrection on the Last Day. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.
Readings for October 15th:
Old Testament: Isaiah 44:21-23
Psalm: Psalm 84:1-12
Epistle: Ephesians 4:22-28
Gospel: Matthew 9:1-8
Adult Bible Class at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church
Join us for Adult Bible Class in the Evangelism Wing following our worship service! Change can be taxing. Taking on a large project can seem daunting, but we should take comfort in knowing we aren’t going at it alone! Not only do we have each other, but we can look to God’s people of the past for guidance. Join us for the next three weeks of Sunday School as we look at three events in Holy Scripture where projects like our own were tackled by God’s people. Look at the challenges they faced, the work they put in, and the things that were accomplished by God’s grace and blessing. Be encouraged and inspired as we think about the role we each have in this historic time at Mount Calvary. This week’s topic: Moses & God’s People Construct the Tabernacle, the Place of God’s Meeting Here on Earth-Exodus 37 and following.
