If you have any questions, contact Leanne Ross at 414-232-3041.
Forty days after Jesus rose from the dead, he ascended into heaven and took his seat at God’s right. Now he reigns far above all power and authority.
Ascension, however, has become one of the forgotten festivals of the church. There are a number of reasons for this. At Mount Lebanon, we’re trying to bring back Ascension. This is a big day for us and we want to make it bigger.
Join us this THURSDAY (5/9) at 5 pm for a picnic. Ham sandwiches and hotdogs will be provided. Bring something to share - a salad, a dessert, or anything else that you’d love to share.
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. We’ll set up to serve inside and (weather-permitting) we’ll eat outside. If the rain comes, we’ll eat in the community room.
Then, at 6:00 pm we’ll gather inside for an evening service of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
We’d love to have you for even part of the afternoon/evening around God’s Word celebrating our ascended Lord.
It's time to lay down the gauntlet again and see who has the best chili. On Sunday, December 3, we will hold our annual Chili Cook-Off after worship. We are securing a panel of judges from school and church to see who has the best chili. But aren’t we all winners?
Kick off your Thanksgiving celebrations with Word and Song. It’s always a good way to begin a day.
Then, join our church family for lunch. Turkey and potatoes will be provided. Can you bring a side? We’d love to have you. Please sign up below so we can properly prepare: https://bit.ly/MountMKEThanks
Join us for a service of thanksgiving and praise for the God who created, redeemed and makes us holy.
Mayo Clinic estimates that about 10-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage but then admits that the number may actually be higher since some women miscarry before they even know about their pregnancy. A textbook in Italy suggests that the percentage of miscarriages may be closer to 60%. And if we add in the loss associated with stillbirth, the death of a child early on, and other kinds of infant deaths, the numbers are truly heartbreaking. The numbers are truly staggering, but the church has often not provided a way to mourn the loss and to find hope in Jesus. We have funerals for those who die, but, most importantly, we pray for those who suffer such a loss. There is no coffin. There is no service. There is often no closure. One pastor said: “Too long, too often, we have let mothers and gathers grieve alone. We want to provide such hope to the people of God who mourn such loss.
At Mount Lebanon, on Wednesday, November 1, we will hold a “Service of Remembrance” for those who seek hope in God at the loss of children, both unborn and born. The service will be at 6:30 pm, with light refreshments to follow for those who desire to share additional time and fellowship. We pray that this service will be a blessing to you.
We know that it may be difficult for parents with young children to come to such a service on a weekday evening, so we will provide a $30 gift to help parents get a babysitter. You will be able to request help by registering for the event or by contacting the church office. You only need to register if you would like help to secure a babysitter.
We want to bring a safe space to trick or treat to Milwaukee. We’ll have trunks, treats, drinks, and more.
We’d love to have you! Just come on October 28 between 3 and 6 pm. We’ll be there. We hope you will be too.
This is going to be a community effort. We are looking for people to be creative in decorating their vehicle trunks or helping decorate inside the community room. We need help setting up, taking down, and, of course, providing candy to give away. We are planning for 700 children! This is a community project, and we need your help.
Join us on October 14th!
This is the 10th Annual Mixed Scramble Tournament that Mount Lebanon has hosted. Since it is “mixed” it is of course open to men and women. Since it is a “scramble” you do not have to be a great golfer to come out and join in the fun. It is a nine-hole event with prizes awarded, but most of all it is a chance to fellowship around an afternoon of golf. Proceeds go to our Mahnke Student Aid Fund which financially supports our students who choose to attend WELS ministerial training schools.
We want to bring together our church family, school family, the Hampton Heights neighborhood, and everyone else for worship, fun, and a free community festival as we start a new school year and end our summer with fun! We'll gather for worship at 4:00 pm and follow it up with a picnic, a corn roast, bounce houses, and fun activities for everyone!
Join us on 60th and Hampton for a community festival and celebration.
Mount Lebanon is a special place. It is a place where the Word is preached, and each of us grows like a plant in the ground. It is a place where the seed is planted, and the kingdom grows to become a flourishing tree. It is a place where God gathers a group of misfits to be part of his kingdom's work. This is us. “This is Us” Sunday is a Sunday for us to remember who we are, why we’re here, and what we hope to do here by God’s grace.

Some days are just made for the family. Easter is one of those days. Maybe it's the Easter breakfast and then the massive family feast. Maybe it's the egg and treasure hunt. Easter is a time for the family - your family and ours - to come and celebrate the victory of Jesus for our forgiveness. We'd love to have you join our family.

We gather for worship in a service of darkness to meditate quietly on the price that was paid for our salvation. For this we give deep thanks!
We gather for worship to remember the suffering and death of Jesus, to hear the words he spoke from the cross, and to receive the blessing of his death through his Supper.
During this holiest week, we draw near to Jesus to remember his sacrifice and to receive his Supper.
April 2 is going to be a great day! First, it’s Palm Sunday. We’ll celebrate the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with palms and praises. Second, it’s DHL Sunday (Disciples. Heirs. Leaders.). Scholars from our school will serve us in worship. Finally, we’ll be hosting our “Taste of Mount Lebanon” potluck. Bring a dish to pass that represents your family and story, then stay after the service for a great day of worship, fellowship, and food.
Ash Wednesday
We kick off our Lenten journey this Wednesday (2/22) with a 5:15 pm supper and 6 pm worship service. This service will include the optional practice of the imposition of ashes. Please see the attached sheet for more information about this practice.
The life of every person is a busy and full life. The Christian life is no exception. We often find ourselves running from one thing to the next. As a result, some of the most important things get sidelined. In this brief four-week study, we will consider the power of habit as well as study and discuss the development of three specific habits.
We will begin with a meal at 5:30 pm. The study will start at 6 pm and end by 7 pm.
Christian parents want to welcome their children into heaven with a hug. But this world is a tough place. We know that all of us – including our children – will face challenges in life and to our faith. We want to raise our children to know the Lord. But how? It is a daunting and even overwhelming challenge. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In this one-night event, we’ll share our challenges and daily small steps we can take so that we can hug our kids into heaven.
Every parent who attends will receive an age-appropriate devotional book that they can use with their children. Child-care will be provided.

Join us for a service of confession, forgiveness and prayer as we enter the new year. We leave behind our past in the blood of Jesus and move into the future with new mercies promised each day.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. God loves to give good gifts! His greatest gift? It was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. That gift—joy unspeakable, the peace that passes understanding, love beyond what we could ask or imagine—must be unwrapped. How? Like little children on Christmas morning! Unwrap Christ with us this Christmas. We would love to have you.

Advent, like Lent, is a time of preparation. In addition, it has historically been used as a time for catechesis, that is, careful instruction in the truths of God’s Word. As we gather for these Advent family devotions, we will remember the coming of our Savior, prepare to worship him, and consider the life that our God calls us to live according to his commands.
With hymn and prayer, catechetical recitation, and reflection on the commandments, we’ll orient our lives to the life that God calls us to live. As we gaze at his Law, we will gain God's vision for the good life, the life with him, the life for him, and the life for our neighbors. God help us to order our deeds and our days by his word.
