Welcome to Calvary
October 12, 2014Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost
Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.” Matthew 22:8-9
Season of Thanks
During the season of Pentecost, Calvary will be giving thanks for its past; its present; its future. We will be thanking groups and individuals and most of all God for the blessings bestowed on Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church. We are calling this a Season of Thanks!
During this Season of Thanks each of us, daily, need to remember things and people for which and whom we are thankful. Even on those days when everything seems to be falling apart… we can be thankful that God is there to catch us and protect us …. just like God always does!

Video – Sound - ProjectorIf anyone is interested in helping with the sound board, videoing the sermons or creating/running the projector
announcements please contact Steve Dardinger. There is currently a very limited number of people who know how to
do these things and when they are not here it won’t get done. We need some help!
Reminder – Don’t Forget Your Name Tag
Not everyone remembers your name. We encourage everyone to wear their name tags. It helps not only
our visitors, but all of us to put a name to a face.
There are cords to use as lanyards on top of the mailboxes. Help yourself.
November 2nd, 2014 is All Saint’s Sunday. On this day we remember our loved ones who have joined the Saints of Light in the previous year. If you have a name you wish to be listed, please submit the name in writing to the Church Office (two mailboxes, in the office window or the conference room), by email at: [email protected], or call the office at 740-773-1044. If no one is available, please leave a message. Please submit your name no later than October 28th so it can be added to the list. PLEASE INDICATE “ALL SAINT’S” so the name is not confused with the normal prayer list.
Elections for council will be October 19. The terms of Craig Solle, Jean Michelson, Janis Lane and Charlotte Spahr are ending. Would you be interested in running for council? Council meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7pm. If you think you would be interested or want more information please contact Craig Solle, Jim Segelhorst or Jean Michelson. They will be able to answer any questions you might have. Please give prayerful consideration to Sharing your God given talents with Calvary.
Church Council Elections
About one half of the expected Estimated Giving Cards have been returned to the church. If you have not returned yours, you still have time to place it in the Sunday Offering or mail it to the church. Those who have not returned their cards will be contacted by a member of the church participating in the canvass. You can be expected to be called during the month of October. If you need an Estimated Giving Card, contact the Church office or a member of the Stewardship Committee (Contact Ken Tomko at 740-775-6778) and we will be glad to get one for you.
Thank you for your support of the Stewardship Program.

SOCK IT AWAY FOR CALVARY!Are you a saver? Do you put things away just in case you need them? Ten years ago we ‘Socked It Away for Calvary.’ Decorated socks were handed out. If you still have yours… and I know some of you do!... please bring them to the church picnic on September 7th … or to church that morning!. If you don’t have one or can’t find the one you had…no worries…we will have others for you. Beginning on September 7th we will once again ‘Sock it Away for Calvary.’ You are challenged to put your spare change in the sock every day. The socks will be collected in November when we dump all the change (paper money is welcomed too) into a pot … making a ‘joyful noise’ to the Lord!! This money will be used for debt reduction…just like it was 10 years ago!

Good news: not only will we have monthly events for Calvary Kids; we will also have Sunday School for children return on October 5 at 9:30 a.m. in a new format with new teachers. On the first Sunday of each month, we will have an intergenerational Sunday School event in the sanctuary. All ages are welcome to attend; it will be led by various leaders each month. On the other three (or four) Sunday mornings, children fifth grade and younger will gather in one class to be taught by two of our recent confirmands, Nick Erslan and Breanna Murphy. Don’t miss out on the fun and learning!
YOUTH ROOM PROJECTAs part of the preparation for our conversion of the old sanctuary (the chapel) into a Youth Center, we will be removing the old pews. Members may purchase these; the price is yet to be determined. You may reserve your pew by writing your name on the masking tape placed on each pew; first-come, first-served.
We’re gearing up for Advent and Christmas! On Sunday, October 19 we begin practice in the main sanctuary from 9:30 – 9:45 a.m. each Sunday, followed by Sunday School. We will be preparing for the coming of Emmanuel as well as learning lots of other fun songs as well. Come join the fun!
