Church Year Calendar

For Lutherans, the church year is a way of living the story of Jesus.

Through seasons like Advent, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost—and through special days such as Christmas, Good Friday, and All Saints—we experience the fullness of God’s love and grow as disciples. The church year shapes our worship, deepens our faith, and connects us to Christians across time and around the world.
