Our Fall Bible Study will be a study of the biblical book of Esther, based on Chosen by Lutheran author Donna Snow. Snow also wrote Meant for Good, which was used for last year’s study on Joseph from the book of Genesis.
We are excited to offer two sessions this fall! A daytime session will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays beginning Sept. 8. This session will be facilitated by Kay Sykes. An evening session will be held Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. beginning Sept. 8. This session will be facilitated by Pastor Tom. Childcare for the evening session will be provided. The final session for both studies will be Oct. 27.
The suggested donation for the book is $20. A Kindle edition is available for $10 for those who prefer. You also have the option of purchasing an updated Lutheran Study Bible with the NRSVue translation for $33 (paperback) or $45 (hardcover).
If interested, sign up in the Narthex or contact the church office. We hope you will join us for this engaging study!​

"God’s work. Our hands." Sunday is Sept. 7

​

“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday will be Sept. 7 this year. This day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America—one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
Calvary Lutheran will have one worship service at 8:15 a.m. Service activities will follow. Grab and go refreshment will be available for those working offsite. Those who prefer a later worship service are invited to Walnut Street United Methodist Church for their 11 a.m. service.
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ– every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life— flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
Five Action Teams will serve on “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday. Action Team 1 will clean the Chillicothe Civic Theatre building at 83 S. Walnut St. prior to the beginning of “tech week” for the youth theatre presentation of Charlotte’s Web.
Action Team 2 will craft no-sew fleece blankets for the Ross County Human Society. The team will meet in the Fellowship Hall.
Action Team 3 will assemble personal care kits for local outreach to the unhoused population in Ross County. This team will meet in the Chapel.
Action Team 4 will assemble other kits for Global Refuge and Lutheran World Relief in the Conference Room.
Action Team 5 will visit residents at the Heritage and Shafer buildings at National Church Residences.
Please join us Sept. 7, and don’t forget to wear your yellow shirt!
