Mission of the Cross
Calendar of Events
The calendar at Mission of the Cross Lutheran Church is meant to help members, visitors, and friends of the congregation stay connected to the life we share together in Christ. The Church is not simply a place people visit from time to time, but a people gathered by the Lord through His Word and Sacraments. For that reason, the calendar serves as a simple guide to the ongoing rhythm of worship, study, prayer, and fellowship that shape our life together in Crosslake, Minnesota.
Gathered Around Christ’s Gifts
Each week, the congregation gathers for the Divine Service, where our Lord comes to serve His people through His preached Word and His holy Sacraments. We also gather for Bible study, Sunday School, and times of conversation and fellowship, receiving encouragement from one another as members of Christ’s body. The calendar helps make these regular opportunities clear, so that both members and visitors may know when the congregation is assembled and how they may join us.
The Rhythm of the Church Year
The calendar is especially helpful as the Church moves through the seasons of the Christian year. Advent, Christmas, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and the great festivals of the faith each give shape to the Church’s life and proclamation. These seasons are not merely reminders of past events, but occasions in which the saving work of Christ is preached again for the comfort and strengthening of His people. As additional services and special gatherings are scheduled throughout the year, the calendar offers a clear way to remain informed and prepared.
A Guide for Members and Visitors
For members of Mission of the Cross, the calendar is a useful way to keep up with the regular life of the congregation. For visitors, it is also an invitation. Whether you live in Crosslake year-round, are spending time in the Brainerd Lakes area, or are simply searching for a faithful Lutheran church, this page can help you know when the congregation gathers and how you may join us. We hope it serves not only as a schedule, but also as a welcome.
