Lent at Mt. Lebanon Lutheran
Social Outreach Lenten Project 2024
We are partnering with one of Pittsburgh’s Refugee Resettlement agencies, Hello Neighbor, to assist the large numbers of refugees being placed in the region from a variety of countries including The Congo, Syria, and Afghanistan. During Lent, we will be collecting household goods to furnish the homes of our new neighbors. Please review the list of needed items in the March edition of our newsletter, The Voice prior to bringing your donation to the church campus on Sunday morning or during weekly operating hours.
March Bible Studies
“The Passion of Christ in the Gospels”
A Review and Discussion of the Suffering of Jesus
THURSDAY MORNING 10:15 AM – 11:30 AM

Led by Pastor Heagy, these studies will focus on the suffering of Jesus. On March 7, 14, and 21, we will meet in the Conference Room. On March 28, participants will read John 18-19 in their own homes and later join the church for Holy Thursday worship at 7:30 PM in the sanctuary.
NOTE: Monday Evening Bible study will resume after Easter
Holy Week Vigil of Prayer
Our congregation will again hold an around the clock prayer vigil during the 156 hours from the close of worship of Passion (Palm) Sunday until Easter. A Vigil Guidebook is provided and we encourage local and out-of-town members and friends to participate. Please refer to page 14 in The Voice for additional information about signing up and reserving your vigil times
The Great and Holy Week
Holy Thursday, March 28 at 7:30pm – Festive Sanctuary Worship & Live stream on Facebook
Holy Thursday marks the institution of the Lord’s Supper and a call to heed Jesus’ two commandments: “Love one another as I have loved you;” and “Do this in remembrance of me.” The Altar will be stripped to signify Jesus’ betrayal, as he was stripped of glory and placed into the hands of his captors.
Good Friday, March 29 at 7:30pm - Festive Sanctuary Worship & Live stream on Facebook
Our Tenebrae Liturgy is an adaptation of the ancient office of light dimming used to impress upon the hearts and minds of believers the awful consequences of sin and magnitude of our Savior’s sacrifice. The liturgy includes hymns [sung without accompaniment]; readings which trace the experience of our Lord from His trial before Pilate to his crucifixion, death and burial; and prayers. Worshipers sense the grueling ordeal of Jesus’ passion.
