Prayer of Praise & Thanksgiving Our hearts are full of joy, O Lord, Just thinking of the abundance of gifts you have given us, We are overwhelmed in the presence of Your love. How blessed we are just to be your children! Our hearts sing the testimony of your Word. Surrounded by your love and the love of those you have placed in our lives, we lift our hands to praise Your name. Guide us, Lord, in the strength of your love to serve you wherever you lead, Trusting in Your love and mercy, we bow before you in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Shepherd on the journey home.

So much to thank God for:

Pastor Bob & Diane Kretzschmar for being

with us on a September Anniversary Sunday.

It was good to have them back home! They

both looked great!

The visit by Pastor Roy & Ann Maack on an

October Anniversary Sunday. What a joy to

be able to visit with them! It was a long drive

from Florida where they live near Disney

World.

Giving Thanks | Pat Bell

The participants of the Festival Choir for

joining in the anthem, “At Calvary” during

the October Anniversary Sunday.

The members who picked their favorite

hymns on that special Sunday and sang like

the hymns were everyone’s favorites.

Pastor Dan & Darlene Quiram celebrate an

Anniversary Sunday with us during

November presenting the Word of God.

We are blessed to have them actively in-

volved at Calvary and frequent worshipers.

music by Amy Crumb on recent Sundays.

Just lovely!

The men from the Property Committee who

helped protect the safety of members and

visitors by painting the curbs yellow and the

parking spaces white on the parking lot.

The many people involved in making the

grounds of our church on the Northern

Parkway side look new. Staff from Bobby

Chapman’s school donated toward the work

of a horticulturist to trim and clean up the

bushes. Boy Scouts and parents from Troop

#247 assisted Jamie Fitch on his Eagle Scout

project by digging up old bushes, cutting

down a tree and replanting with pink and

white azaleas in memory of Jamie’s Mom,

Christine. What a gift to be enjoyed by so

many!

Calvary Lutheran Church & School

“A trip down memory

lane” was the

experience of many

people attending

worship on Sunday,

October 18th. It was a

joy to welcome Pastor

Roy and Ann Maack to

celebrate Calvary’s

100th Anniversary.

During the reception following the worship

service, Pastor and Anne reconnected with

everyone in a personal way. Their son

David and his wife Susan were present to

represent the four Maack children, all of

whom lived in Baltimore when Pastor

Maack served at Calvary. We count Pastor

and Anne as true blessings for the love and

friendship we experienced through their

ministry with us. Thank you, Pastor and

Ann!

November 8th will be a big day for

members and friends as the year-long

Anniversary celebration comes to a

conclusion. Pastor Dan Quiram is our

guest proclaimer for both the 8:15am and

11am worship services. We are privileged

to see Pastor Dan and his wife Darlene for

worship when schedules allow, and look

forward to Pastor Dan delivering God’s

Word for us that day. A light reception

will follow both services.

Also on November 8th, we’re pleased to

host the Baltimore Choral Arts Society in

concert at 3pm in Calvary’s sanctuary.

Celebrating their 50th Anniversary, we’re

honored the Choral Arts Society will be on

hand to close out our 100th Anniversary

celebration. The “Hallelujah Chorus” will

be one of the selections in the afternoon

performance. How very appropriate for

the Lord to hear this hymn of praise as we

give thanks for 100 years past and our

“mission and ministry” into the future!

UPDATE

Under the direction of Mr. Tom Hall, the

Choral Arts Society is a long-established

group in Baltimore and one which we are

extremely proud to host. Please plan to

attend. Spread the word to friends and

neighbors and help us show this special

guest we appreciate the gift of music they

provide in celebration of the innumerable

blessings Calvary has had for 100 years.

Upcoming Pastoral Vacancy: At the

congregation meeting held October 25, it

was voted on and decided Calvary will

pursue securing an Intentional Interim

Pastor, following Pastor Poulson’s

retirement. This is a call process, although

not as involved as that of calling a

permanent pastor. The congregation will

receive updates as the process for

securing an Intentional Interim Pastor

progresses

Financial: The balanced 2016 Budget

was passed.

Sunday Bible Study, 9:45am

Fellowship Hall

We have begun our 6-week study

of witnessing. As Lutherans, we

affirm that sharing our faith with

others is an integral part of our

Christian existence in this world.

This activity remains with us even as

the Church enlists certain

individuals for outreach projects

close to home or overseas. In this

study, we hope to encourage a broader

commitment to share the faith in Jesus

Christ in whatever callings the Lord has

placed you. On December 6, 2015, we

will begin our Advent Series – “He Shall

Come Again.” Don’t worry about missing

any prior studies; you are invited to

explore the true life-giving Word, every

Sunday!

Wednesday Lectionary Bible Study

7pm, Office Conference Room

Year B in the 3-Year Lectionary is coming

to an end and we are looking forward to

celebrating Advent and the rest of Year C

through the Gospel of Luke. As usual,

Advent begins with a look to the Cross

and the End Time, for this the reason Jesus

was born – to defeat once and for all sin,

death and the Devil and make us children

of God. See the story of the salvation of

all mankind unfold as we look into the Old

Testament for the promises of Christ

fulfilled on Christmas day.

You are invited to prepare for Sunday’s

Divine Service by studying the upcoming

readings at our weekly Lectionary Bible

Study held Wednesday!

Please contact Scott Jones, 410.828.9208,

with any questions on these opportunities.

The Southeastern District (SED) is your regional

Lutheran Church office supporting churches,

missions, and schools in Delaware, District of

Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina. That's at least 3,878

zip codes, zip codes in cities, on the shore, in

the mountains and in between. The goal of this contest is to connect all theses neighborhoods

and see what it looks like.

Post a picture of what's gong on in your zip code onto Instagram at #sedlutheran

#ineighborhood. The top three likes will

receive a $25 gift card! Contest runs through November 20. So, go out in your neighborhood

and let us know what your zip code looks like

and post it on Instagram. Check out the

guidelines. http://se.lcms.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=388783

What is Instagram? - Instagram is a free photo sharing smart phone application that al-

lows users to take pictures and videos and share

them online with followers. More on Instagram and how to sign up. A YouTube tutorial. https://

So, grab your phone, take some pictures and share them with the District!

Since the last congregational meeting, the

Outreach Board has been diligently working

to increase the credibility of the

neighborhood’s view of Calvary congregation

by sharing simple meals, inviting neighbors,

those who partake in the Saturday Loaves

and Fishes at St. Matthias, and Calvary School

families. We have offered physical and

spiritual food five times since February with

increased participation from those outside

our parish doors. There has been supportive

involvement from Calvary members via

donations of time, food, and funds; set-up,

cooking, ministering to our guests, and clean-

ing up. Thanks to each and every one of

you who have in some way been involved in

this ministry! We see it as a very positive

influence in the Hamilton community.

The second way we have been reaching out is

with providing homework help through our

“Guiding Hand” sessions on Tuesday and

Wednesday afternoons. Last year, we

touched the lives of 19 children with the

average attendance of nine children per

session.

With the new school beginning in September,

2015, five new children were enrolled and we

have had an average attendance of 10

children per session. While two of our

helpers from last year could not return, we

have five new people participating as

helpers—two of them previously assisted at

Yorkwood Elementary where the after-

school homework program was discontinued.

One of the other new volunteers is from St.

Matthias and remaining two are from sister

LCMS congregations.

The Guiding Hand’s Mission Statement is:

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me

and do not forbid them, for of such is the king-

dom of heaven.” The Guiding Hand will provide

an environment where caring, nurturing, and

trusting relationships can develop. We will give

each child the opportunity to grow in knowledge

and wisdom. Providing a safe place for working

on homework, physical activities, healthy snack,

building friendships, and increasing spiritual

growth for each child is OUR MISSION.

The Guiding Hand has been fortunate to

receive a grant of $500.00 from BGE and

$1500.00 from Rebecca’s Garden of Hope,

which has assisted us in purchasing two

computers and a printer for the increased

Calvary has a Prayer Ministry Team that

meets every Sunday during the Bible Study

hour praying for the needs of others and for

Calvary's renewal. All are invited to join them

for prayer any Sunday during the entire time

or any portion of the time they meet. Prayer

requests can also be given to the group leader,

Joan Colliflower, 410.426.3919.

"Standing in the Need of Prayer" written by Mo-

ses Hogan is a gospel hymn known by many.

We often find ourselves in need of intercesso-

ry prayer. Praying for others can put a spiritual

wall of protection around those requesting

prayer. Prayer is a ministry of the church that

uses this power God gave the church to call

upon him in times of need and times of praise

and thanksgiving.

Calvary's Prayer Circle has been using this

power of prayer for years. They are waiting for

your call!

The Power of Prayer | Pat Bell

We get so wrapped up

in dealing with the

problems and concerns

of the day, we overlook

the special gifts God is

constantly sharing with

us. Blessings may not be

seen through our “first

window”, but felt with

the closeness of friends,

the love of family, the

joy and humor remembered after interactions

with others.

We are thankful that God has been constantly

blessing Calvary, especially as we have seen so

many people involved and being touched

throughout this Anniversary year. He is

constantly directing us outside of ourselves

and our walls to share the love of Jesus and

His eternal blessings with others.

“But I will sing of your strength in the morning; I

will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my

refuge in times of trouble.” (Ps.59:16)

We pray each day, “Oh, give thanks unto the

Lord for He is good and His mercy endures

forever.” (Ps.106:1)

See you in Church!

Early each day, I look

out the window and

watch the morning

begin. Some mornings

the sky is dark, other

days streaky gray

clouds frame the

window, another day

the clouds are fat and

shining pink, one

morning golden lights

brighten up the dark blue sky. Three feet

away is another window, which remains

dark through all the changes at sunrise—

until later.

Sometimes God puts blessings close and

obvious for us to see; other times we

have to wait, to search, to look for them

in places we don’t expect.

The fall season is full of visual blessings

that even the poorest can experience—

the sugar maple leaves glow against the

blue sky, and some in the distance look

like they are on fire. The ground is

covered with acorns that quickly get

buried—what a blessing for wildlife now

and later! The lawn is no longer green,

but covered with dead pine needles and

leaves the wind blew down during the

night— muscles ache from raking, a

healthier body and mind later.

know when He would return in judgement, “Only

the Father knows”. (Matt 24:36).

One thing we do know is that change is

inevitable. As Calvary moves “Forward in Faith &

Mission”, our work of bringing the saving grace of

Jesus to those who do not know Him in the 21st

century will require us to change to spread God’s

Word.

The people of Calvary are a praying people. We

will continue to pray for guidance and be inspired

by the Holy Spirit to boldly proclaim His Word.

“If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Rom

8:31).

Who knows what Calvary will look like in anoth-

er 100 years? We need only remember these

words of assurance from Jesus, “Heaven and

earth will pass away, but my Words will never

pass away.” (Matt 24:35)

During the 20th century, Calvary celebrated its

25th, 50th and 75th Anniversaries in its mission

of Christian outreach to the Hamilton area.

For his shepherding of the Calvary

congregation for most of the 2nd half of the cen-

tury, we honor Rev. Roy Maack, who

together with his wife Ann and their family, faith-

fully served Calvary for 29 years from 1965-

1994—making him Calvary’s longest-tenured pas-

tor.

In 1970, Calvary’s voting members invited the

women of the congregation to join them as vot-

ers. Later in 1975, communicants 18 years of age

and older were granted voting rights. Finally, in

1981, all confirmed members were given the right

to vote on congregations

matters.

In 1999 at the dawning of the new millennium,

Calvary Lutheran School recognized its 50 years

of service in the community. Five years later,

Calvary congregation celebrated its 90th years of

spiritual service.

For this special occasion, the church produced a

video of the building of the present church and

premiered it at a congregational gathering. Using

an archival file, record made in 1960 by Calvary

members and cinematographers Irvin F. Kemp,

Sr., and son, Irvin F. Kemp, Jr., the film gives a

detailed visual account of the

building of the church and the people involved.

Over the years, the church has grown in its cam-

pus and building amenities, adding an elevator for

handicap accessibility and addition to the school

which houses classrooms and a library. Senior

and Associate Pastors continued to faithfully

serve Calvary, including George Sommermeyer,

1946-1961; Stephen Mazak, 1961-1964; Leslie

Weber, 1948-1964; Mel Knott, 1964-1978; Norb

Folwaczny, 1978-1985; Mark Hricko, 1986-1989;

Bob Kretzschmar, 1990-2012; Dan Quiram, 1997

-2008; and Quentin Poulson, 2013-present.

This chronicle history of 100 years of ministry at

Calvary Lutheran Church has attempted to show

the faith, resolve and perseverance of our

Christian founders to face the challenges and set-

back in establishing this Christian Mission in our

neighborhood. That tradition continues today as

Calvary faces new challenges in its next 100

years.

No one knows the future. Even Jesus in His

earthly incarnation told His disciples He did not

1 Kings 17:8–16; Hebrews 9:24–28; Mark 12:38–44

The Lord Freely Feeds and Provides for Us with Eve-

rything He Has

Those who contribute “large sums” from “out of their

abundance” have done very little. They cannot purchase

God’s favor with their money. But the “poor widow” with

her two small coins, who “out of her poverty has put in

everything she had,” entrusts herself and her life to the

mercy of God (Mark 12:41–44). Such faith is not disap-

pointed, for the Lord is faithful, and He provides for His

people by His grace. Thus was the poor widow of Za-

rephath able to feed the prophet Elijah “for many

days,” as well as herself and her household, “according to

the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah” (1

Kings 17:15–16). He feeds us, too, by His Word, not

only with daily bread for this body and life, but unto the

life everlasting in Christ Jesus. “By the sacrifice of him-

self,” by the giving of His body and life and all that He

had, He has entered “into heaven itself, now to appear in

the presence of God on our behalf” (Heb. 9:24–26). He is

our great High Priest and the Temple of God, as well as

the priestly food with which He feeds us.

25th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

(15 November)

Daniel 12:1–3; Hebrews 10:11–25; Mark 13:1–13

The Crucified and Risen Body of Christ Jesus Is the

True Temple of God

Despite its “wonderful stones” and “great buildings,” the

Jerusalem temple would be torn down, with not one

stone left upon another, just as this present world and

its kingdoms will come to an end (Mark 13:1–8). But

that temple pointed beyond itself to Christ, to His sacri-

fice upon the cross and to the resurrection of His body

as the true Temple of God. In the midst of sin and

death, by the proclamation of the Gospel, He now gath-

ers disciples into His body, wherein “the one who en-

dures to the end will be saved” (Mark 13:10–13). For He

is “a great priest over the house of God,” who “will remem-

ber their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” By the pure

water of His Baptism, they “draw near with a true heart in

full assurance of faith,” and by His flesh and blood, they

enter the Holy of Holies (Heb. 10:17–22). Thus are His

people delivered, “everyone whose name shall be found

written in the book.” For by the wisdom of His Gospel,

He turns “many to righteousness,” so that “many of those

who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake” to everlast-

ing life (Dan. 12:1–3).

LAST SUNDAY OF THE CHURCH YEAR (22 November) Isaiah 51:4–6 or Daniel 7:9–10, 13–14; Jude 20–25 or Revelation 1:4b–8; Mark 13:24–37 or John 18:33–37 In Repentance We Are Alert to the Coming of Christ The signs of the end are all around us, constant reminders that “heaven and earth will pass away.” But all of these signs are centered in the cross of Christ, whereby He has conquered sin and death, that we might be raised with Him in righteous-ness through His Word of the Gospel, which “will not pass away” (Mark 13:31). He is “the firstborn of the dead,” who in His great love “has freed us from our sins by his blood” (Rev. 1:5). His salvation is certain because “his dominion is an everlast-ing dominion” and His kingdom “shall not be destroyed” (Dan. 7:14). For this pur-pose He came into the world, to reign in love through His voice of the Gospel, which is the truth (John 18:37). So is the righteousness of Christ “a light to the peoples,” which “will never be dismayed” because it is the justice of His cross and resurrection (Is. 51:4–6). As He “is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory,” so wait upon "the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life” (Jude 20–24). THANKSGIVING DAY (26 November) Deuteronomy 8:1–10; Philippians 4:6–20 or 1 Timothy 2:1–4; Luke 17:11–19 We Praise God for Sustaining Life in and through His Word The nation resounds with thanksgiving for the earth’s bountiful harvest, crops of wheat and grains, all beneath the canopy of God’s almighty care. But “man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD” (Deut. 8:1–10). The Church is the vessel through which the Word of God penetrates the world with its Law and Gospel. It is this divine Word that proclaims Jesus as the sole source of life, health and wholeness. It is Jesus who heals lepers with His Word: “Go and show yourselves to the priests” (Luke 17:11–19). Of the 10 cleansed, only one expresses thanksgiving back to Jesus. But true gratitude proceeds from a heart sustained by faith. Jesus bids this one Samaritan to “rise and go your way; your faith has made you well. "So also, we are sent from the Divine Service, bolstered in our faith by baptismal and Eucharist blessings to be thankful in our circumstances of plenty and hunger, abundance and need (Phil. 4:6–20). FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT (29 November) Jeremiah 33:14–16; 1 Thessalonians 3:9–13; Luke 19:28–40 or Luke 21:25–36 The Lord Jesus Comes in Humility to Redeem Us The season of Advent focuses on the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and this first Sunday establishes this theme for the rest of the season. The Son of God came long ago to be our Savior, “a righteous Branch” descended from David (Jer. 33:15). As He then came into Jerusalem, riding on a lowly donkey to sacrifice Himself for the sins of the world (Luke 19:28-40), so does He come to His Church today in the humility of Word and Sacrament to deliver the fruits of His Passion: the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. He absolves us and establishes our hearts “blameless in holiness before our God and Father”(1 Thess. 3:13). The same Lord Jesus, who came to Jerusalem then and who comes to us now in peace, will come again with power and great glory on the Last Day. Then there will be “distress of nations in perplexity,” with “people fainting in fear.” Yet, as we anticipate that great and terrible day, He bids us to rest securely in Him: “Raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:25, 26, 28).

COMMUNITY NEWS PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH: Petition for the Day of St. Luke the Evange-list, St. Paul referred to as “the beloved Physician.” On this day, it would be appropriate

in conjunction with the congregation’s prayers to recognize the health-care workers in the congregation and to pray God’s richest blessing upon their service: Let us pray. As

we remember the life and ministry of Your servant, Luke, the evangelist and phy-sician of both body and soul, we thank You for the blessing that his writings have

been to Your people. We rejoice in how they proclaim Your healing power. Grant that all who serve in health care among us may be Your instruments of well-being, healing and restoration. Sustain

them in the challenges, pressures and dangers under which they labor. We ask this through Him in whom we find our final healing of body and soul, even Jesus Christ, who is the Resurrection and the Life. Amen.

CITY’S FALL LEAF COLLECTION PROGRAM: begins October 19. Autumn has arrived and so have the falling

leaves. Today, Baltimore City Department of Public Works Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., urged city residents to keep their curbs, alleys, and storm drains clear of leaves to prevent the potential for flooding. “DPW has implemented citywide

street sweeping, and does alley sweeping in several neighborhoods. Still, that is not enough to keep falling leaves from clog-ging the thousands of storm drain inlets throughout the City, particularly in heavily wooded areas,” Director Chow said.

Leaf collection season begins Monday, October 19, and will continue through Monday, January 4, 2016. The Department of

Public Works Bureau of Solid Waste will collect bagged leaves every Monday throughout the season. Solid Waste crews will collect leaves by appointment; up to 20 bags of

leaves will be collected from each address every Monday. However, residents must call 311 before 6 p.m. on Sunday

to schedule a collection for the following Monday. Citizens may make multiple appointments for up to two months pri-

or to the pick-up date.

The Bureau of Solid Waste will also continue to collect bagged leaves on the regularly scheduled trash collection

day. Solid Waste crews will collect up to 5 bags of leaves from each address every week. Residents need to put

leaves in clear or labeled bags and place them at their regu-lar mixed refuse collection location and not in the public

right-of-way. Altogether, with Monday collections and regu-lar mixed refuse collections, the DPW will collect, in total,

up to 25 bags of leaves per week, per residence. As a reminder, residents can also drop off bagged leaves at

one of the five Citizen Convenience locations:

Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Quarantine Road Sanitary Landfill – 6100 Quarantine Road

Western Citizens’ Convenience Center- 701Reedbird Ave Eastern Citizens’ Convenience Center- 6101 Bowleys Lane

Northwest Citizens’ Convenience Center - 2840 Sisson St

Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.: Northwest Transfer Station – 5030 Reisterstown Road

YOU KNOW ITS COMING!!! The Mayor’s Snow Shoveling Service for Elders (65 and Older) & the Disabled who are unable to clear their own public sidewalks & Shoveling Jobs for Youth, ages 14 – 21. To sign up for the free shoveling of pub-

lic sidewalks and to apply for shoveling jobs for next winter, please call 311 or [email protected]. The City is currently taking applications: (1) from residents 65 and older or with disabilities who need help clearing snow and request

to have their public sidewalks regularly shoveled for free this coming winter; and, (2) from youth ages 14-21 who are apply-ing for City paid jobs to do this senior citizen snow shoveling all next winter. For this snow shoveling program, eligible

households and the youth providing services will be recruited from the same quadrants of the City. That way, youths will ideally be neighbors who are able to walk to their assignments in the snow and become well known to the elderly and disa-

bled residents being served. Because of liability, the City cannot fund the clearing of private steps or sidewalks leading to front doors, although the elders may decide to work out a private arrangement for shoveling their private property.
