“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday is Sept. 13!
“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday is the ELCA’s annual day of service, taking place this year on Sept. 13. It is a blessed opportunity for all our congregations to celebrate who we are as a church, engaging in projects and activities that explore our convictions as Lutherans: that all life in Jesus flows from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. The ELCA is one church, freed in Christ to love and serve our neighbor every day. and glory. It is instead a kingdom centered on the cross.
Calvary’s Sunday morning schedule will look a little different that day. We will have one worship service at 9:30 a.m. Service projects will follow at 10:30 a.m. A church picnic will be held on the lawn (weather permitting) around 11:30 a.m. We ask that everyone make a reservation for the picnic. Fried chicken will be provided and families are asked to bring a side dish. Assistance will be needed setting up tents and tables on Saturday morning, Sept. 12 and tearing down following the picnic on Sunday.
Please join us for “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday!
FALL BIBLE STUDIES begin on Monday, Sept. 20 based on the book Strong and Courageous: Studying God’s Promises in Joshua by Donna Snow. The morning session will be at 10 a.m. and the evening session at 6:30 p.m. The suggested donation for the book is $20. Sign up today!
Ladies enjoyed an afternoon together on Sunday, Aug. 30, as part of the “Lemonade” Women’s Mini Retreat. Kay Sykes led a Bible study based on the lives of Biblical women, each of whom experienced the “lemons” of life as well as the renewal that God brings about. Melody Knoles shared songs and the Fellowship Team provided decor and treats.
