From Pastor Dana O’Brien – Saturday, March 21, 2020…
Hi everyone,
If you’ve got a virtual worship place, that’s wonderful. But if your congregation isn’t worshiping, I invite you to join us at Cross of Glory on Sunday morning via Facebook live. Click here to go to our Cross of Glory Lutheran Church Facebook site and join us promptly at 9:30. The service will be on the screen, so be prepared to participate by speaking the prayers and confession aloud, sharing your own prayers and other comments, and singing the songs.
So for those of you who aren’t on Facebook, sign up before the next service.
And please extend us a bit of grace. We’re trying to be good models of our governor’s shelter in place order, so we’re streaming worship with just two people.
Shortly after each service, we will add the video of the service to the Sermons and Service Videos area (click here) in the “Common Links” area of the web page.

Holy Week is the week that begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter. It is always a busy time here at Cross of Glory. There are many powerful opportunities to worship. Here are some highlights:
- Palm/Passion Sunday Worship Service – Sunday, April 14, at 9:30. Journey through the last week of Jesus’ life. Begin with his celebratory entrance into Jerusalem and end with his death on the cross five days later. A combination of music, slides and readings helps the entire congregation participates in the story of those final days.
- Good Friday Cross Walk — Friday, April 19, at Noon. Walk with us, as we join other local congregations in downtown Lockport. Start at Shepherd of the Hill Lutheran Church at 12:00 Noon. Stop at various church buildings and end at the Lockport park band shell. At each stop we’ll hear from people who were involved in Jesus’ passion and crucifixion, including Pilate, Mary, Peter, the centurion, and others. This is a wonderful lead-in to Good Friday worship at Cross of Glory, where we’ll continue the theme, “We Were There When They Crucified the Lord.”
- Good Friday Worship — Friday, April 19, at 7:00 pm. We will walk with Jesus’ through his trial, condemnation and crucifixion. There will be songs, readings, and hands-on experiences. We will continue to look at the Cross Walk theme and explore what Jesus’ death means for us today.
- Easter Sunday Services — Sunday, April 21, at 9:30 and 11:00. We celebrate the victory over sin and death on Easter morning, as God raises Jesus to new life. Both the 9:30 and 11:00 services include joyful worship celebrations, as our praise band is supplemented with brass and a choir.
All of these services are wonderful opportunities for people to encounter God through different worship styles and new experiences. Please invite your friends and family to come and meet God at Cross of Glory during Holy Week. Contact the COG office if you would like to help with any of our Holy Week services.

Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 for our mid-week worship services over the summer. These shorter very casual services are for people who can’t make it on the weekends or just want a little more God in their week. We’ll sing some songs, share communion and look at the importance of prayer in our lives.

Martin Luther Bible Study
Since 2017 is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, it seems like a great time to learn a bit more about Martin Luther. Join us at my house (16759 West Sioux Drive – outside if it’s nice, inside if it’s not) at 6:30 every Tuesday night for a Martin Luther bible study. Each Tuesday we’ll explore a different aspect of Luther’s theology and how it impacts us today. Here’s what it looks like for the rest of the summer:
July 4 – No Bible Study
July 11 – Bondage of the will (or “why we do the stuff we know we shouldn’t do”)
July 18 – It’s all about the grace
July 25 – How to tell the difference between a sinner and a saint
August 1 – No Bible Study
August 8 – Who is our neighbor?
August 15 – We’ve all got a gift (the priesthood of all believers)
August 23 – Vocation – how we make a difference in the world
August 30 – Luther today
