Chrism Mass

Deacons, Pastors, and Parish Ministry Associates of the Nebraska Synod are invited to any of the six Chrism Mass services throughout the territory of the Synod during the month of March. A Chrism Mass is a service traditionally held sometime during the Lenten season for those who serve the church as ministers.

During this service, ministers receive oil which may be used for anointing in the coming year (the “chrism” to which the service’s name refers) and renew their vows in the presence of God and each other. This year, the Chrism Mass schedule is as follows:

March 5 – St. Mark’s, Oshkosh
March 7 – Grace, Lexington
March 12 – Resurrection, Gretna
March 14 – Christ, Pierce
March 19 – American, Adams
March 21 – Salem, Stromsburg

All services will begin at 11:00 AM in the host congregation. Lunch will follow. If you are a pastor, deacon or PMA, please register so our host congregations can be ready to welcome you!
