This is the Season of Easter.

Easter The season of Easter begins at the Easter Vigil. But before that, the week previous to Easter is called Holy Week; it begins with Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday). On Passion Sunday the Church celebrates Christ’s riding into Jerusalem on a road strewn with cloaks and leafy branches (Mark 11:8; cf. Matthew 21:8, Luke 19:36, John 12:13), as he set about to accomplish his paschal mystery. The week culminates with the Triduum (a Latin word for a three-day period) that includes Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter itself. The Triduum begins with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday. The next day, Good Friday, is the most somber day of the liturgical year, for it commemorates Christ buried in his tomb. The tabernacle is empty, the altar is bare, statues of saints are removed from the church (or veiled), and the holy water fonts are dry—and no Mass is celebrated. The Good Friday liturgy begins with the proclamation of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to John, it continues with the veneration of the Cross, and it concludes with a simple Communion service with the Eucharist reserved from Holy Thursday’s liturgy. The Triduum intensifies at Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, a liturgy that begins in total darkness until the Gloria returns with a thunderous roar of bells and Alleluias. Christ is risen! Easter is such a special time that it continues not just for the eight days of the octave of Easter (all celebrated as solemnities of the Lord), but for 50 days (including Sundays and counting Easter Sunday itself) of the season of Easter. The season of Easter comes to a close, and Ordinary Time returns, on the Monday after Pentecost Sunday (from the Greek pentekoste, fiftieth day) on which we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-13). The liturgical color of the season of Easter is white, symbolizing purity and joy. Red, the color of passion, is used on Passion (Palm) Sunday and Good Friday. Red, symbolizing fire, is also used on Pentecost Sunday. The ressurection; eternal life; victory, joy; light; life. White and gold are the colors

This website serves as a home base for our pastors serving the bush communities and bush churches throughout North America including the Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada, Arizona and Old Mexico. This site also serves as a communication hub for these ministries.

We are especially proud to announce that we have a new pastor in Singapore who is establishing The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Singapore there and is also working on establishing churches in Malaysia and Indonesia.

The Lutheran Churches Of Calvary Grace (LCCG) can provide a spiritual covering for those struggling in the ministry without support, offer appropriate credentials and the opportunity for affiliation with others who share a like faith and calling. We serve those who are called by the Lord to serve His people and to take the gospels where they do not now exist. Moreover, we are a mission establishing agency and a Lutheran ecclesiastical endorsing agency.

Our credentials are recognized by federal and state governments as well as the Veterans Affairs, federal and state prison systems, hospitals and hospices. Our ministry-related services are practical and we often assist our members in areas where they cannot easily provide for themselves.

LCCG is also in association with the Association of International Mission Services (AIMS).
