Worship with us

Weekly Worship Services

Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church offers the gifts of Christ, His grace, mercy and love to all by combining traditional Lutheran liturgy with music, fellowship and inspirational sermons. We encourage you to join with us in Christ as we worship Him each Sunday.

Sundays
9 a.m. Full Service (sung)
11:45 a.m. Spoken Communion Service
Thursdays
6 p.m. Worship & Communion
Sunday Morning Worship
Sacrament of the Altar
Holy Communion is offered on Thursdays and on the first, third and fifth Sunday of every month during both services. Mt. Calvary observes the traditional custom of "closed" communion (meaning that the sacrament is properly shared among those who are in agreement in teaching and practice). If you are uncertain whether you should receive communion with us, please speak with Pastor Long at least 10 minutes before worship. For more information, please see the inside front cover of our weekly Church Bulletin.
We also provide caring support and guidance during milestones in our member’s lives, including baptism, marriage, funerals or memorial services. Please contact Pastor Long directly for more information.
During Worship Services
We pray that our worship services will be a source of strength and inspiration to all of those in attendance, and that the Word proclaimed here will build you up in faith, assure you of God’s love, and help you grow in the spirit of Christ. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your worship experience better.
To minimize distractions, we ask that all cell phones and pagers be turned off or set to silent mode during the services. Church Bulletins are available before and after each service in the Narthex (entrance lobby).
Assistance
Ushers are available before, during and after services to help you with seating. If for any reason you should need to leave the Sanctuary, please have one of the ushers assist you.
Large print Bulletins and assisted listening devices are available for those who need them. An usher or elder of the day can provide you with these resources, and can help adjust the Hearing Assist Device.
Nursery & Cry Room
Our nursery is located in the lower level and will be staffed with volunteers during Sunday's 10:45 service. An usher can provide you with directions. We also have a Cry Room located just outside the Sanctuary, available for parents who wish to care for their babies and young children there during services.

Unexpected Wedding Guests

Thought of the Day

Unexpected Wedding Guests

And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests. “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:1-14)
