ADVENT
The Season of Advent begins four Sundays prior to Christmas. This
year Advent begins on December 1. Advent is also the beginning of a
new liturgical year; this year’s gospel readings come primarily from
the Gospel of Matthew.
CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
This year’s theme is families and we will learn how Bible families were just as different as our families are today as we explore the family of Jesus, Moses, Ruth, Hannah, and Esther and many others throughout the year. This is the description of the Deep Blue curriculum:
The Deep Blue Adventure DVD, a video component, tells 13 Bible stories in a unique and entertaining way, and includes three music-and-movement videos plus the theme song, as well as monthly Bible verses with sign-language demonstrations.”
We are blessed to have a theater here at Calvary! The kids will begin their session in the theatre to introduce each lesson. We welcome children of all ages!
The teachers will be Kay Sykes and Beth Gallagher. We are looking forward to a great year!
WELCA welcomes you!!
WOMEN OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF AMERICA, WELCA, is open to all women of Calvary! The group meets at 7p on the second Monday of each month from September through May.
Meetings, held in the conference room, begin with prayer, followed by a short business meeting. Then the program which may be Bible studies, guest speakers or other activities, is presented. Each month a member serves as hostess providing refreshments!!!
WELCA visits Calvary’s shut-ins at Easter and Christmas. Each year a project is chosen which benefits members of the community or helps Lutheran Social Services.
