Mount Calvary Lutheran Church Weekly Updates
Men of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church Bible Study
Men’s Bible Study Breakfast will meet at 7:30 AM on Saturday, November 18 in the Evangelism Wing at Mount Calvary. Come enjoy a hearty breakfast cooked by a fellow member (free will donation of $5), and good conversation with your brothers in Christ. This month we continue our study on manliness as we look at the life of Joshua. Join us as we strengthen our understanding in our God-given roles as men in our lives, church, and world. (Each month after the class is over, for those who wish to stay, some trustee projects may be available.) Please text your interest to (920) 918-7200.
Young Families Group Update
Young Families Group and the Young at Heart will meet Saturday, November 18 at 5:30 PM for a potluck (bring a dish or two to pass) and discussion-based study. After supper, the children will be excused to enjoy some organized playtime. We have finished our overview of Nancy Pearcy’s book, “The Toxic War on Masculinity.” This month we will begin with John Kleinig’s book “Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body.” In this book study we hope to dig into the deep mystery of our bodies, who made them, why they matter, and what they were made for. We will consider, along the way, how many (if not most) of the issues facing our modern Western culture are over the purpose, use, and importance of the body. We will learn to see our bodies how God sees them. Please text your interest to (920) 918-7200.

November 19 Worship & Bible Class
As the church year draws to a close, we hear two accounts in the life of our Lord. Jesus helps the woman with the flow of blood and raises up Jairus’ 12-year-old from death. In this life death plagues us, and we look to Jesus for help and hope. Join us on this second to last Sunday of the Church year as we recall the promise of the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come. You may prepare by reading the Propers of the day.
This weeks readings:
Old Testament: Isaiah 59:9-16
Psalm: Psalm 126:1-6
Epistle: Colossians 1:9-14
Gospel: Matthew 9:18-26
Please join us after the worship service for our Congregational Meeting in the sanctuary.
