Announcements for the Week Ahead

We have in-person worship at our normal worship times: 

Sundays at 8 and 11 am. 

The livestream links for worship can be found here. 


New Years Eve in particular gives Christians a chance to review the year of God’s grace to us, our church, our community and our nation. At the same time we can look forward to what God will do next for us, in us, and through us in the coming year,

      This New Year’s Eve we will have such a focus – a special service and liturgy to remember all the times and commitments of our lives such as baptism, confirmation, and for some of us, marriage.

      But we’ll do one thing more.  We’ll remember in prayer that you and your family are grieving and honor those who have walked from life to life eternal – especially those who have passed to heaven this year. Why now?  For many people, holidays such as New Year’s Eve can be hard – especially the first year after the loss of a loved one. 

      So during the service we will remember by name each person someone in our community grieves and wants to remember.  We will pray to God for healing, hope, and strength for us and give thanks to Him for the gift of life and life eternal through faith in Christ Jesus.  We will also list those who we desire to remember who died in earlier years.

      Please use the form found here to let us know which family members or friends you would like all of us to help you honor and remember this New Year’s Eve.  Turn it into the Church Office at secretary@mtolivelutheran.com
