The Baptism of our Lord

Today’s festival rejoices in God’s blessings. We recall and celebrate our adoption as God’s children, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and the promised company of almighty God when we “pass through the waters . . . the rivers . . . fire.” 

On this day the heavens open again for this assembly, and we receive the gift of God’s Beloved, Jesus, in bread and wine.

We have a Welcome Brochure you can read. Please click here to see the brochure..

You can also reach out to us by email to officeadmin@clconcord.org  for more information about joining our congregation.
Altar Flowers
Supplying the altar flowers for a Sunday worship is a beautiful way to glorify God and to commemorate a specific date in your life or to honor a living or deceased love ones. The cost for a vase of flowers is $50.00. Pots of Luck Florist is our supplier.

The Altar Flower chart, which lists available Sundays in 2025, is posted on the bulletin board across from the restrooms. Order forms to be completed and submitted to the church office are next to the chart or you can download the form here. Please submit your completed order form along with a check made out to Calvary Lutheran Church and indicate "altar flowers" on the memo line.

 Orders for a specific date should be submitted one month in advance.
Several expressions of the Lutheran Church have sprung into action to provide assistance and relief: On the national level, Lutheran Disaster Response. In the Carolinas, Lutheran Disaster Response in the Carolinas, and in our state, The North Carolina Synod Disaster Fund which is used to support affected NC congregations.

By clicking on the links you can learn about each organization's approach, obtain helpful information that you may want to pass on if you know folks in the affected areas, and you can make a special donation.

You may want to pay special attention to LDR Carolinas' blog and to this helpful checklist from Pastor Rusty Kehl, a former contractor, on how storm-affected people might want to deal with contractors. (If you know someone affected, you may want to share that document with him/her.)
