weekly
living way
DATES: September 2022 - May 2023
TWO SESSIONS: Wed. mornings or Thurs. evenings
REGISTER online or by calling the church office
Format: Living Way is a weekly Bible study that allows for in-depth learning integrated in three ways: small group discussion, large-group pastor's lecture, and at-home lesson worksheets.
2022-2023 Topic: Gospel of Matthew
Matthew presents Jesus as the Christ, Israel's Messiah King and also as King of the entire world. The Gospel is closely linked with the Messianic prophecies and is a bridge between the Old Testament and New Testament. Our study will include the Beatitudes, rest in Jesus ("Come to Me, all who labor..."), and the Great Commission ("Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...").
On Wednesday mornings from 9:00-10:30 a.m., men and women participate in separate small groups, with lectures in the church Sanctuary. Childcare is available.
On Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m., men and women gather in a single small group, closing with a recording/video of the Wednesday morning pastor-led lecture.

pray-ers for peace
PRAYER GROUP | You're invited to join in a prayer group led by St. Paul's member and LCMS deaconess Gayle Truesdell; although held at Mount Calvary, St. Paul's members are warmly welcomed to attend. Deaconess Truesdell shares, "As Christians, we struggle to find our way through these difficult times. What can we do to make things better? I believe that prayer — fervent and faithful — is our greatest tool for peace right now."
1st & 3rd WEDNESDAYS AT 1:00pm
LOCATION:
Mount Calvary Lutheran Church
9321 Litzsinger Road, 63144.
Conference room
The prayer group will start with a short devotion about prayer and then join together to pray for our nation’s elected leaders, appointed leaders, unity, civil discussions, consensus on national purposes, tolerance, equal justice, non-violence or any issues which might arise in the future.
The prayer group is not a forum for political debate; no one should come intending to argue for any particular viewpoint. We come to kneel before our Lord.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
