About Mt Calvary Lutheran Church
Our congregation has worshipers of all ages, with many elderly and usually around a dozen small children (though this varies a lot on any given Sunday). Our worship is "liturgical" meaning that there is a sequence to our service that actually makes a lot of sense once you catch on to it. Think of it like this: if you have never been to a soccer game, you might be confused about what the players are doing on the field. Once you learn the rules and roles, it makes a lot more sense. Our worship is a lot like that: we are not going to "dumb down" our worship so it makes sense, but would rather teach you about why we do what we do....please be patient and ask questions when you have them. The Pastors will be happy to explain the "why" and "how" of our 2,000 year practices.We love having children in the Church, and when your little one is having an inevitable "meltdown" there are places near the restooms where kids can get it together and then return. We actually find that kids do better at the front of the Church where they can see what's going on.
Folks at Mt Calvary dress a variety of ways: some are traditional "dress up", most dress casual. Our teens dress modestly, avoiding explicit sexual or drug/alcohol T-shirts. Jeans are fine for all ages.
Liturgical worship does involve standing and sitting. Directions regarding standing or sitting are in the worship folder, or you can just do what everyone else is doing, as you are able.
Liturgical worship is also participatory with the congregation responding verbally and singing. Our singing is accompanied by an excellent pipe organ or piano. If your ears are sensitive, you should probably sit on the opposite side of the church from the organ.
