Welcome to Divinity Lutheran Church

So, if you ever want to make your life a little more interesting than it already is: in addition to your normal calendar on your refrigerator or kitchen wall or whatever digital device filled with all your appointments, and reminders to run all the adulting errands, not to mention the upcoming family birthday gatherings; if you ever want to add a little more clutter to your weekly and monthly layouts, find a church calendar; and not the one of a local congregation listing every meeting time and random group using the fellowship hall; find the wider church calendar, so that you know the all important detail that today is technically the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, or so that you will know ahead of time when we get to the Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost eventually in November. But, also more seriously, that you don’t forget when the First Sunday of Advent is, and when Ash Wednesday comes around to start the season of Lent, and just how early or late Easter will be…all those obviously important details that every clergy person believes you cannot live without knowing. But interspersed between those Sundays throughout a church calendar year will be these names of some rather important figures in our Jesus-following history portion, including from the beginning with Mary, Mother of Our Lord, who we celebrate in August, or Joseph, Guardian of Jesus, in the month March, or Mary Magdalene upcoming in July, but also some more relatively recent individuals like our beloved Martin Luther in February or Florence Nightengale, the founder of modern nursing, in August as well. All these individuals listed on the church calendar, in the midst the of our own comings and goings of our daily life, as a reminder of their continued collective impact hopefully not just on organized religion, but on our all-around faith journey as well....
