The noon prayer service on Facebook will take place virtually only, not in-person. Tune into the Facebook page at noon to participate with Richard.

Worship Bulletin and Announcements

Wednesday Noon Prayer + Brown Bag Lunch

Starting Wednesday, March 12th, Richard will offer a 20-minute prayer service each Wednesday at noon in the Fellowship Hall. Drop in for a quiet sit in the midst of the day; afterward, bring a lunch if you want some company. The service will be streamed via Facebook Live on the Mount Olive Facebook page. All are welcome.

Midweek Lenten Worship Storytelling

Our Wednesday evening worship services at 6:30 pm, will be centered in storytelling around the theme of Discovery.

Mount Olive’s Welcome Statement

“We trust that God calls Mount Olive Lutheran Church to a ministry of reconciliation. We embrace as a gift the diversity of our neighborhood and the world, and we extend God’s hospitality by welcoming, hearing, and treasuring:

All gender identities and sexual orientations All races and ethnicities All ages and abilities
All economic statuses and education levels All faith journeys and personal histories

As Christ welcomes all, we too welcome the full inclusion of all people into the life, ministry, and sacraments of Mount Olive, joining in a journey toward greater love, understanding, and mutual respect.”

We are also an unapologetically Lutheran community of faith. This means:

          • Our theology is centered in the life and death of Jesus Christ.
          • We are part of a long line of historic churches which celebrate infant baptism and weekly Holy Communion.
          • The Word of God is the norm and basis for our life together.

We are also part of one particular group of Lutherans – the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Through this group we are networked with thousands of other congregations, mission sites, social service agencies, and educational institutions that live out the faith of Jesus Christ in similar ways.

We would love to have you join us for worship on a weekend. Our communion table is open to all as God draws you. Please come. If you like, you may even want to stay for coffee, introduce yourself, and strike up a conversation.

We believe Christ calls each person to some kind of ministry. We also believe that our lives are enriched when we do ministry together. You are welcome to explore your calling in this community of God’s people.
