The Season of Advent

SERIES THEME: A REAL CHRISTMAS

A parent says, “I want to give my kids a real Christmas.” What do you think that parent means? Perhaps they are thinking of trimming a freshly cut tree or finding the perfect presents or spending the holidays with extended family. Certainly, all those are wonderful things. However, none of them are what makes Christmas real. The sad truth is so few know what Christmas is really about. If you want a real Christmas, then you need to observe Advent. Advent prepares our minds and hearts, so that we might soon celebrate a real Christmas.

Join us this week for a new series: A Real Christmas.

  • CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT 4 PM

    When a father puts gifts under the Christmas tree, it is not to compensate his children for doing their chores. A gift is given voluntarily simply so the giver can show favor to the one receiving the gift, without any expectation of repayment. In the season of Christmas, we receive the gift of God. That does not simply mean we receive the gifts God gives. When we look into the manger, we see that God is the gift. Join us this Christmas Eve to celebrate The Gift of God.

  • CHRISTMAS DAY FESTIVAL 9 AM

    Have you ever opened a Christmas present and had to ask, “What is it?” As we look into the manger, we ask that question. We are looking at the same God who once told the prophet Moses, “No one may see me and live.” Yet Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds all saw their holy God and survived. How? God became human, hiding his glory within our flesh. This gift is God and man in one person, exactly what humanity needed to deliver us from our greatest enemies: sin, death, and Satan. This Christmas, we thank God for this greatest of gifts.

  • PREK & Kindergarten - 8TH GRADE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLs

    It is the mission of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran School to assist parents in providing a high-quality, Christ-centered education for each child.


  • Rocky Mountain Lutheran H.S. 

    Our Lutheran high school educates students not just for college acceptances, but for a meaningful life of learning and serving their Savior in whatever journey God has planned for them. From personal growth in faith huddles to the academic rigor of science courses, from developing skills in athletics to learning to serve each other despite our differences; we understand the challenges high school students face, and we value mentoring students throughout these sometimes rocky years.

  • Help our MLC student get funding

    We have one student headed to Martin Luther College this fall! Every year, MLC matches every dollar raised up to $1000 per student. We are about halfway to getting our student this scholarship. Help us get our student fully funded to receive the extra (and much needed) financing! Please consider designating a special gift to help their studies to become future pastors and Christian education teachers! Congratulations Jake V! God bless your future studies and beyond!
