Calvary Lutheran Sunday AnnouncementsTRANSCRIPT
Welcome to Calvary
October 19, 2014Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost
And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Matthew 22:21
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!
October is Pastor
Appreciation Month!
We are collecting cards for Pastor Hatch to express our appreciation. The collection box is the church shaped box located in the Narthex. We will be collecting cards until Sunday, October 26th.

There will be hors d’oeuvres, refreshments, and tours (if you like). Please plan to drop in and visit. Her home is located in Governor’s Square, off Western Avenue next to Traditions.

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.
We rejoice with the family of Jackson David May, born October 9. Proud great-grandparents are Jim and Joan May. May God bless him and all of his family as they continue to grow in Christ’s love and grace.

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.
Our Annual Congregational Meeting is today at 9:30 a.m. here in the Sanctuary. Reports will be received, the 2014 Budget will be presented, and new Church Council members will be elected.

Church Council Elections

The Stewardship program for this year is in its final phase. Many of you have already submitted your Estimated Giving Card for next year.
Thank You!We are now in the canvass phase to contact those who have not yet responded to remind them that we need their help. Canvassers are now contacting the remaining members to ask for their response. This canvass will be completed during the month of October. The church budget is based on the amount of money given to the church. Calvary Lutheran is financially stable but programs we would like to see added to our ministry cannot be included in that budget unless our funds increase. Please submit your Estimated Giving Card so your church will continue to grow.

A HUGE Thank You to everyone who helped with and attended Oktoberfest. Those who helped set up, clean up, brought desserts,
prepared food, shared memorabilia, and who were part of the entertainment, thank you! Janis did a fantastic job as usual as Master of Ceremonies and kept the entertainment and festivities rolling. It was a wonderful evening of entertainment and fellowship. Thanks to all!

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 for $150 dollars each (all sizes). All proceeds will go toward the Youth Room Project, so if you feel moved to give more, you are encouraged to do so. 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!
