LCMC Three Days of Prayer
2025-01-07 00:00 - 23:59 (America/Phoenix) | AZ
“One generation shall commend Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” ~ Psalm 145:4

Believing God is calling His people at Victory Lutheran to pray in 2025, we invite you to join your voices together with thousands of other disciples of Jesus Christ from around the world and our international association of churches (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ) for an intentional time of prayer.

We thank God for placing this prayer burden upon us as we begin this new year. We ask the Holy Spirit to come and dwell among us as He brings us faith, courage, and passion to be God’s faithful prayer warriors and strong disciples of our Savior Jesus Christ. We approach God’s throne with confidence because we understand prayer is an opportunity to share our deepest heartaches and greatest joys with our Father who desires a personal relationship with each of us.

This year, Psalm 145 will be our guiding Scripture for this special time of prayer. During these three days we will thank our Almighty God for the past and seek the discernment of the Holy Spirit to show us God’s divine will for the future of LCMC and His people here at Victory Lutheran.

As part of the LCMC Three Days of Prayer a special Prayer Service will be held at 10:00am Thursday January 9, 2025, in the courtyard Chapel. We invite all who are able to join us as we worship our Lord with a time of singing, prayer and Holy Communion.

A PRAYER GUIDE is available in the link below to use as we set aside time for personal prayer and reflection at our homes or other locations that work for us each day.

Contemporary Worship

Launching New

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE @ 11:00AMBeginning April 7th, Victory Lutheran will introduce a Contemporary Worship Service at 11:00am on Sunday mornings. Following Easter, the 11:00am service will shift from traditional to contemporary music, led by a praise team under the guidance of Jackie Jewel.

This new service has been a long-requested and carefully planned endeavor. While contemporary worship has been a part of Victory for over twenty years, it hasn’t been present at the Mesa campus for quite some time.

It’s important to note that traditional worship remains the cornerstone of Victory’s worship experience. This is our primary focus. We’re not aiming to “blend” traditional and contemporary styles. Our Saturday service at 4:00pm and Sunday services at 8:00am and 9:30am will continue to uphold traditional styles with excellence. The 11:00am Sunday service will adopt a contemporary style, also delivered with excellence.

Stephen Ministry
2025-01-02 11:00 - 12:00 | AZ
Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation.

Stephen Ministers are trained by their congregation’s Stephen Leaders using resources from Stephen Ministries St. Louis. The training they receive in the congregation equips them to provide high-quality care to people who are hurting.

Care receivers are individuals in the congregation or community who are going through a crisis or life difficulty. Potential care receivers first meet with a pastor or Stephen Leader, who assesses their needs for care and matches them with a Stephen Minister.

After being matched with a person experiencing a life crisis, the Stephen Minister meets with that person on a weekly basis for about an hour to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support. The caring relationship lasts as long as the need for care exists.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NRSV)

Prayer Walk
2025-01-02 10:00 - 11:30 | AZ
Calling Upon God for Blessing

Here we go; moving into a New Year! There will be so many challenges and opportunities. Anticipation of the unfolding days brings many thoughts of joy. New experiences await us. Yet there is the reality that hard times await some of us.

On our daily journey through 2025 we can count on our Lord’s abiding presence. No matter what we face He is always with us. Often I forget His presence. What helps us remember? Conversation! Yes, daily, hourly conversation with God. What kind of conversation? Use the Bible to get started. Read a verse or a chapter of Scripture. Through it God is talking to us. Ask Him, “what do you want me to learn or know about YOU and about my life as your child?” As we do engage in prayer we will be blessed.

On Thursday, January 2, 10:00am, the Victory Prayer Team invites you to be with us as we employ this powerful tool of God’s grace. We will begin our year by doing a prayer walk within our church. Stopping in each area, specifically praying for the ministries. We’ll be in the sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms, recording studio,entry, offices, chapel, parking lot, and kitchen.

I’m looking forward to how the Holy Spirit will grant us the words to speak to Him.

Sherry Olson, Facilitator of Thursday Victory Prayer Team
