Fellowship Events – Mt. Olive Lutheran Church

MT. OLIVE LUTHERAN CHURCH offers regular fellowship events for our members to grow together in the blessing of Christ-centered community.

For example, we offer periodic special events like our annual Trunk or Treat or our annual Church Movie Night or our annual Day at the LA Dodgers.

However, we also have two regularly scheduled fellowship events each month, and these are the following:

Community Lunch on Second Wednesdays

Our Community Lunch runs every month from September to May, and it features fun entertainment along with good food and an uplifting devotional.

Threads of Hope Group on Third Wednesdays

Our Threads of Hope quilters enjoy Christian fellowship while producing beautiful quilts to give to those in need through Lutheran World Relief Mission Quilts.

“In Christ the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.”
The Holy Bible, Ephesians 2: 21-22

All Are Welcome at Mt. Olive!

Mt. Olive Lutheran Church is a Christian congregation that is rooted in the traditions of American Lutheranism. We are a welcoming group of Lutheran Christians, and we are learning and sharing the all-encompassing Love of God revealed through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

The grace, hope and love of Jesus Christ are for absolutely everyone, so our purpose as a community of Christ is to welcome all people to become believers and disciples of Christ for the sake of a better world and for an eternal heavenly future.

Mt. Olive is our grace-filled spiritual home, and it can be yours too!

What If I’m New to Mt. Olive?

+ WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN I VISIT…
No matter where you are at in life, you are welcome here and we are glad you came to check us out. We are a wheelchair accessible facility, and the Sanctuary (the worship space) is air conditioned. There is plenty of parking in our upper and lower parking lots. Greeters and ushers will welcome you and answer any questions you may have. Be sure to enjoy a cup of coffee and a donut after the worship service.

+ WHAT TO WEAR WHEN I VISIT…
Wear what you feel comfortable in, but try to observe modesty. You will see people dressed in everything from shorts and flip flops to slacks and dress shoes, from T-shirts and baseball caps to suit jackets and ties.

+ WHAT ABOUT KNOWING THE WORSHIP SERVICE?
As you make your way into the Sanctuary (worship space), our ushers will give you a bulletin which has the entire order of service for you to follow along with the rest of the congregation. (Large print bulletins are available upon request.)

+ WHAT IS “SHARING OF THE PEACE”?
We are a congregation that values the forgiveness and lovingkindness of God, and so we make sure that we take the time to share God’s peace with one another every Sunday during worship. This simply involves shaking hands with others nearby and blessing them with the words “The peace of the Lord be with you” or other similar words.

+ WHAT IS HOLY COMMUNION?
During the worship service, the invitation of the Lord Jesus Christ is extended to all people to come to his Altar of grace and peace (also called the Lord’s Table) and receive Holy Communion (also called the Lord’s Supper). The sacred meal of Holy Communion is a powerful means through which God gives us spiritual blessings. It is the true “body and blood” of Christ received mystically in bread and wine for our spiritual well-being. It is a simple meal of bread and wine that reminds us of Jesus’ sacrificial love and that connects/unites us with him and each other in a mystical way that surpasses our limited human understanding. We also provide grape juice for those who do not wish to have wine.
