Sunday Announcements

1. Welcome to Calvary
Now when He came into the
temple, the chief priests and the
elders of the people confronted
Him as He was teaching, and said,
"By what authority are You doing
these things? And who gave You
this authority?“
Matthew 21:23
September 28, 2014
Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost

2. 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!

3. CONGREGATIONAL CONVERSATION
TODAY
Our third Congregational Conversation will
be on Sunday, September 28 at 9:30 a.m. in
the Fellowship Hall. Come find out the
details about all that’s happening as well as
share your thoughts about our ministry
together here at Calvary. Refreshments will
be served.

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-

26. 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!

28. Thank you for your generous donations and
support of the Kitchen Appliance Wish List
at Calvary Lutheran Church. We were able to
purchase a new refrigerator for the
basement, an electric skillet, electric griddle, large stock pots,
and we now have funds towards the purchase of two new
roasters. A portable countertop icemaker was also purchased
(to save on buying ice for church events). Please feel free to
check out all the new items. It is exciting to be closer to our
goal of equipping the basement kitchen. Any questions,
contact Brenda Segelhorst, she would love to show you all the
newly purchased items.
Thank you again to everyone!
