Join Mount Calvary Lutheran Church for the New Year
You are invited to our New Year’s Eve worship service at 5 PM this evening (service of confession & absolution, non-communion). While many spend the last hours of the year in carousing and drunkenness, we gather to prepare for the day our Lord will call us home by confessing our sins and receiving His abundant pardon. Our service will be followed by a potluck dinner and Bingo. Come for food, fellowship and fun! Guests welcome – bring a friend or neighbor!

The First Sunday after Christmas at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church
Jesus is presented at the temple at the age of 40 days. Aged saints expecting the Christ exclaim for joy when He arrives. Mary and Joseph marvel at what is spoken about Him. The purpose of Christ mission is explicated by these prophetic persons. He is the Savior of the Nations, the Light of the Gentiles, and the Glory of the Jews. Yet He is also a sign which will be spoken against (men will not believe) which will lead to the rising and falling of many in Israel. Christ is a sign that is still spoken against, yet those who believe are raised to new life as they receive the joy of His birth and His appearing to be their Savior and Lord.
