PASTOR’S PAGE

The Shepherd’s Notebook Grant us wisdom, courage, and an extra measure of love

One of my favorite sayings rhymes in Latin and is memorable in any language.

“Qui cantat, bis orat”- He who sings, prays twice!

Who doesn’t have a favorite hymn? Or, many favorites?

I’ve been humming and praying an old favorite of late, as I continue serving as Calvary’s in-terim senior pastor and prepare to receive the Doctor of Ministry degree on May 3-4, 2012, at the 50th Commencement of the Graduate Theological Foundation in Indiana.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage … …for the facing of this hour; …for the living of these days; …lest we miss Your Kingdom’s goal; …serving You, Whom we adore.

This hymn-prayer, written for a fledgling church in the Great Depression, is so timeless! Is there ever a time when we do not need God’s gifts of wisdom and courage? I don’t think so.

"Grant us wisdom, grant us courage….” Interest-ing, isn’t it, what the prayer –hymn doesn’t ask for? Knowledge! This hymn reminds us that knowledge

without wisdom, courage and a healthy dose of love can end up doing more harm than good. But knowledge, wrapped up in the wisdom and courage that come from our Lord and tied up in the love of Jesus Christ, makes community stronger, health-ier, more able and available to be Christ -- to each other at Calvary, and in all the places our Lord calls us to serve Him and our neighbors.

St. Paul got it right when he reminded the church at Corinth, and us, how “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.

Yes, let’s celebrate the gift of knowledge, whether it comes with a diploma or in the knowledge that Calvary is gaining of itself and God’s will during this interim. Even more, let us sing – and pray twice – for the Lord to grant us wisdom and courage, tied up in godly love as we patiently prepare to recognize and welcome a new pastor when the time – he or she – arrives and as we become the New Calvary the Holy Spirit is preparing us to be.

Grant us, O Lord, an extra measure of wisdom, courage, and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Pastor Cathi

God of Grace and God of Glory

God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your pow’r; crown your ancient church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flow’r. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour. Lo! The hosts of evil round us scorn the Christ, assail his ways! From the fears that long have bound us free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the living of these days, for the living of these days, Cure your children’s warring madness; bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom’s goal, lest we miss your kingdom’s goal. Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the gift of your salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving you whom we adore, serving you whom we adore.

Pastoral Search Team Update by Grace Gunnlaugsson, PST chairperson

Last month, we reported that we had received additional names from Pastor David Wendel, Ministry Coordinator for the NALC. Since then, we have held initial interviews with these candidates and will conduct second interviews with two candidates in the near future.

We have been very encouraged by our conversations and want to speak a word of encouragement to you as well. The Holy Spirit is blessing and guiding this search process!

At this point, we’d like to review the next steps in the search process, which we shared at the adult forum in December. It is quite different from what has been done before at Calvary, and we are convinced it is an exciting and welcome difference.

When the search team has prayerfully come to a decision on the candidate we believe the Holy Spirit has identified and chosen for a call to Calvary, we will share information about the candi-date with the congregation as has been done in the past. In addi-tion, we will invite that candidate and his or her family to spend a weekend in Brookfield. Part of the weekend will be spent in fur-ther conversations between the search team and the candidate and spouse. On Sunday, the candidate will lead and preach at the worship service. Afterward there will be opportunity for the con-gregation to meet and visit with the candidate and his or her fam-ily. We believe this will be an important time for the candidate and the congregation to meet.

Following that weekend visit, the pastoral search team will meet to confirm that this is indeed the pastor to whom the Holy Spirit has led Calvary. The church council will call a special congrega-tional meeting to be held after it has been announced at two con-secutive Sunday services and notice has been mailed or e-mailed to all voting members at least 10 days in advance of the date of the meeting (per Calvary’s constitution).

According to the NALC guidelines for the calling of a pastor, a letter of call will be sent on behalf of the congregation. The pas-tor will communicate an acceptance of the call through a per-sonal letter to the congregation within thirty days of the congre-gation’s vote.

While we are extremely hopeful that we are in the latter stages of the search, there is always a chance that something delays the process. But we wanted you to be aware of the steps ahead and the opportunity for all of us to meet and welcome the pastoral candidate before a call is voted upon. Of course, the pace of these events will also be subject to the availability of the candidate for a weekend visit.

Thank you yet again for your patience and your prayers. Please include in your prayers the candidates, their families, and the congregations they may currently be serving.

May our loving, omnipotent and omniscient God continue to bless this congregation!

Thank you... From Don & Jean Anderson: Thanks you! We wish to ex-press our deep appreciation to all our friends at Calvary for at-tending our 65th anniversary celebration on April 15th, an par-ticularly for the many cards received. We were asked many times as to our success formula, to which we respond: “It takes a lot of love, understanding, patience and forgiveness, coupled with a strong commitment to each other and God & His daily teachings. Sincerely, Don & Jean

From Judy DeBruine and David DeBruine: What an awe-some response! On behalf of Compassion International, we want to thank everyone for the wonderful support given to the Water Of Life during the February Mission of the Month. Our goal was 10 units, at $55 each. Through your very generous giving, Cal-vary will be donating 67 units to families in need of safe drinking water! If you didn’t have an opportunity to participate, you can still provide safe water through Compassion at www.compassion.com/wateroflife. Thank you for your willing-ness to be used by the Lord to bless so many families.

Mission & Outreach MISSION & OUTREACH

May Mission of the Month Heifer Project

mission that creates an ever-expanding network of hope and peace. Visit their website for more informa-tion: http://www.heifer.org.

Your financial contribu-tions to Calvary’s Mission of the Month during May go to support this important minis-try. Use your weekly offering envelopes or a white pew enve-lope to contribute and note “Mission of the Month” on your check and/or envelope.

Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, the Heifer Interna-tional empowers them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope.

With gifts of livestock and training, Heifer projects help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sus-tainable ways. They refer to the animals as "living loans" be-cause in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of its animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift – a cornerstone of our

Friends of Luther Manor Membership Drive In conjunction with Older Adults Month, Calvary is conducting our annual membership drive for the Friends of Luther Manor all this month.

What is Friends of Luther Manor? It is an association of more than 70 Lutheran congregations dedicated to serving the needs of older adults in the Greater Milwaukee area. Formerly named the Auxiliary, the name was changed in 2011 to reflect the broader scope for new membership and to encourage a new generation of members.

What does the organization do? It lends its support to Luther Manor’s ministry through prayers, gifts and service. Member-ship dues, $ 5.00 per year, and other contributions underwrite the cost of special projects at Luther Manor. Past projects include looms, ceramic kilns, aviaries, beauty shop equipment, and equipment for Luther Manor’s popular Ice Cream Parlor.

A table of information will be available in the narthex all month. Nancy Marsho or another Friend of Luther Manor will be avail-able in the narthex after most services during May.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Calvary’s Cupboard last month. Items collected are taken to the Waukesha Food Pan-try. The next Food Sunday is Paper Goods Sunday, with collection May 19th and 20th, 2012. Recommended items include paper plates, plastic utensils, napkins, tissues, paper towel, toilet paper, and sandwich & trash bags. Other items of need are canned meats, fruits or vegetables, soups, cereals, and cleaning products. If you prefer to make a monetary contribution, please mark your envelope or check with the notation “Food Pantry”.

SHOW A LITTLE KINDNESS WITH COOKIES!

May is Luther Manor month at Calvary. Did you know that each weekday Luther Manor volunteers deliver cookies, cof-fee and tea to the 200+ residents of the Health Care Center? The volunteers visit each resident and offer these treats, while individually greeting each person. We invite you to support this important ministry. Please consider donating homemade or packaged, store bought cook-ies for this program. Softer cookies, without nuts or seeds, help comply with the dietary needs of many residents. Any day in May, drop off your cookies in the Calvary kitchen. Please label the package with:

• Approximate number of cookies or dozen • Cookie Type: including important dietary ingredients • Your name • The date

Questions? Contact Nancy Marsho at 262-827-9640.

Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala At the March council meeting the council approved an $800 gift to Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG). The gift comes from $800.00 that the Calvary Sunday School raised several years ago to purchase pews for the church we helped build in Guatemala. However the church decided to use folding chairs to make better use of their worship space. Because of the decision, the council felt that it would be good to put the funds to a Sunday School-Christian Education re-lated purpose in Guatemala.

While in Guatemala earlier this year, Pastor Cathi and met with the leadership of ILKAG and explored, among other things, how they might be able to use this gift. They have two projects that could use financial support and the council ap-proved this gift.

The Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (Augustinian Lutheran Church of Guatemala) was founded in 1991 by Pa-dre Horacio Castillo and his family. The members come from the margins of the Guatemalan society, people of few re-sources and are predominantly indigenous.

The philosophy of the ILAG is to provide pastoral accompa-niment and holistic development. The center of the ILAG is Christ and from this center we seek to provide for all aspects of the life of our members and their communities - the spiri-tual, physical, emotional and material.

The church has about 3,000 members in nearly 20 congrega-tions spread throughout Guatemala. ILAG also operates two elementary schools in Guatemala City.

St. Vincent de Paul Meal Program

Please note: there will be no St. Vincent de Paul meal program in May.

Calvary is participating in Compassion Sunday on May 12th & 13th at both worship services. This is a national event that helps us grow in our understanding of God’s very special love for the poor. It’s also an opportunity for each of us to inter-vene in the life of at least one child in poverty.

On these days, each of us in our church family has the oppor-tunity to change the world for one child. After worship, visit the Compassion table in the narthex where you can view packets showing boys and girls who need a sponsor right now.

This is your opportunity to release a child from poverty in Jesus’ name. You will give them a future and a hope through the loving in-tervention of a Christ-centered program run by a local church in their neighborhood.

For more information, speak with Dave DeBruine on Com-passion Sunday (and Saturday!) or visit their website at

compassionsunday.com.

Thank you to Panera

Each Sunday, Panera (located in the Ruby Isle shopping center) supplies fresh baked bread to Calvary for communion. They do this for no cost to Calvary!

As a thank you, we encourage you, our members, to frequent Panera, whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even just a cup of coffee & a snack! And while you’re there, let them know you are from Calvary and that we appreciate their generosity.

Compassion Sunday May 12/13

First Communion

On Sunday, April 22nd, two special 4th graders received their first Holy Communion: Emily Berger and Emily Otten. We, as a congregation rejoice with them and their families as they now join us at the Lord’s table.

On this Sunday, also, the two girls shared their musical gifts with the congregation during the offering by playing “Ode to

Joy” (Emily Berger on flute and Emily Otten on cello). We thank them for sharing their gifts!

May God continue to richly bless their lives.

Have you ever wondered…?

Where did the stained glass angel window in the Calvary narthex come from?

The window was a gift from the Derse family in memory of Tom Derse, a Calvary member who passed away in 1997. The window was dedicated in March of 1999 “to the glory of God”.
