COMMUNION: All are invited to join in communion. Please prepare your elements (crackers or bread, and juice or wine) before service begins.
Midweek Lenten Services
During the weeks of Lent we will gather in person (and on Zoom) at 7:00pm on Wednesdays. Our worship will feature songs from a Lenten Vespers Service Hidden in Christ, by Richard Bruxvoort Colligan (whose songs are included in the new Lutheran hymnal All Creation Sings). Our theme for the Lenten series is The Lord's Prayer. Although we will not be having Soup Suppers this year, we hope you can join us for worship in person or on zoom.
Although the mask mandate has been lifted in most public places in SLO County, we request that you continue to wear a mask for Sunday morning worship, Adult Forum, and indoor Sunday School. Thank you.
Sundays during Lent - We will review Luther’s Small catechism. The series will present the articles of faith, Apostles Creed, Ten Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, Baptism and Communion in discussion. We invite you to join in either in person or on zoom and participate—since this is a discussion series, there won’t be much of a discussion if you don’t add your voice.
This Sunday, March 13, we will begin with The Apostles Creed.
Join the discussion, share your viewpoints, gain some new insights.

How to Support the People and Churches of Ukraine:
Lutheran World Federation
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) has launched a call for donations to support the churches and people of Ukraine, who are fleeing their homes and seeking shelter, basic necessities such as food and water, following Russia’s military invasion of the country.
LWF General Secretary Rev. Anne Burghardt said this “support is vital for people desperately seeking shelter from the gunfire and bombing. Every donation counts.”
March 13 is Russ Andersen‘s 98th birthday. Why not send him a birthday wish either by snail mail or bring a card to the church and put it in the basket provided. Should you wish to send it directly, please call the church office for his most recent address. He loves getting cards in the mail!
The cupboards at Iglesia Santa Cruz are critically low on non-perishable items! They are in dire need of:
MASA ~~ RICE ~~ FLOUR ~~ OIL
We'll gladly do the shopping if you perfer to make a cash donation on Sunday.
If you prefer to donate to the matching funds challenge by check, make your check out to the SLO County Food Bank. Write Mt. Carmel Matching Funds Drive on the memo line so that your donation will be properly credited. Mail to:
Food Bank Coalition of SLO County
1180 Kendall Road
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Please do not route your food bank donations through Mount Carmel. Doing so will delay your donation and make tracking the matching funds challenge donations difficult for the food bank.
Thank you to Mount Carmel for your always generous spirit!
We'd love to hear from you. Please call or email with your questions or comments.
