A Personal Welcome to Our Lent & Easter Events and Services
As the pastor at Christ Lutheran Church, I personally welcome you to our Lenten & Easter services and events.
Easter is the chief holy day of Christianity. On it we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This not a symbolic or spiritual resurrection, but a real and physical one. And it changes everything.
Why does it matter? We all must face death someday, whether as old men and women or children in the womb. There is no escape from it. The cause of death is sin, that is we are at our core (even children) in rebellion to God. But God did not abandon us or leave us to die. Nor did He make it to where we have to earn life. Instead, Jesus Christ paid the penalty of sin on behalf of all people everywhere and then three days later rose from the grave. His resurrection means sin does not get the final word. Easter says that God’s love is stronger than violence, forgiveness stronger than sin, and life in God stronger than the grave.
So at its heart, Easter isn’t about Spring, eggs, or even new clothes. It is about a promise: All who believe in Jesus have eternal life. We share in the the merits of His righteous life because He shared with us in the consequences of our sin.
That is an occasion worth celebrating, and I invite you to celebrate with us here at Christ Lutheran in Mustang, Oklahoma.
What to Expect
The message at Christ is simple: We preach Christ and Him crucified. In every service Christ is with us, offering grace and forgiveness where He promises they will be: in His Word and in His Sacraments.
At Christ, you will find a warm, welcoming, and family friendly atmosphere. We come from all different backgrounds. While we may be different from each other individually, we are united by our faith in Jesus Christ. All are welcome and we hope to see you soon!
You will arrive at Christ Lutheran to either our East or South Parking Lot. In the East Parking Lot are accessible parking spaces.
Once in the building you will enter our entrance way which connects both to the Nave (Sanctuary) and our Fellowship Hall. The Fellowship Hall will be set up for Easter Breakfast on Easter Sunday.
If you are here for a worship service, an usher will hand you a bulletin, and you can find a seat in a pew of your choosing. Our pastor will also often greet you before the service.
Our worship services are about an hour long. You will find them to be reverent but also relevant to your life.

Casual dress or Sunday best, it does not matter to us! We just want you to be comfortable. It is not unusual to see the whole spectrum at any service.

We do have a nursery and cry room for those that would like to utilize it. We have a TV and audio set up so that you can still follow along with the service if you use the room. We know that children and persons with special needs like to wiggle, giggle, and make noise. That does not bother us. We encourage families to be together during worship and so welcome all the fun and excitement that all people bring.
There are changing tables in both the women’s and men’s restrooms. There is also a children’s restroom as well.

You are welcome to participate in the worship service to the extent that you feel comfortable. You do not need to sing any hymns or speak the creed or any other responses.
In general and if you are able, it is polite to stand when the rest of the congregation stands and to sit when they sit. However, if you are unable to stand or feel uncomfortable standing for the portions of the worship service when we stand, you are free to remain seated.
If you are not a communicant member of a Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) or American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC) congregation, we ask that you speak with the pastor before receiving communion at our altar.
We make this request out of love for you and your spiritual well-being.
If you are unable to receive communion at our altar, simply remain seated during the communion distribution.

A lot of people can be nervous coming to a church. We get it! If you decide to come, you will find a warm, welcoming environment filled with friendly people. You can also check out our service beforehand either through live-streaming on Facebook or watching on YouTube.

We will not call special attention to you as a visitor. You will not be asked to stand up or introduce yourself.

Our worship services are provided free-of-cost.
Depending on the service, we have an offering plate at the entrance to our nave (worship area) or we pass the offering plate down the pews during the service. If you wish to contribute to our ministry, you may leave a contribution there.
However, do not feel compelled to leave a contribution.
