MARCH 7 CONGREGATIONAL POTLUCK,
Mt.

This will be a time for fellowship and a time used to discuss and share
questions and information about our Pastor search.
The Elders will host this Potluck, with assistance by members of the Mary
Martha Guild. Everyone is welcome at
the Potluck. You may bring a food
dish to help with the Potluck, but you do not have to.
What we are encouraging is that you and your family attend.
Please join us and help make this Potluck an uplifting success as
Mt.
Calvary
enters “into a season of new ministry vitality, serving people inside the
congregation and throughout the community”.
The
Church is experiencing a slight depl

difficult to worship with us on Sunday morning.

Education
Building

CHRISTIAN
LIFE:
1 Corinthians 10:1-13: Paul reminded
the Corinthians of the example of the Children of Israel who were often
unfaithful to God and His commands,
and instead focused on the things of this life
It was poor stewardship on their part to neglect their relationship with
God as their number one priority. This
was written (
St. Paul
says) as a warning to us to put first things first.
Godly stewards do the right things for the right reasons.
LIFE
QUOTES:
"I think it is vital that soci
et
y understands and appreciates the sanctity of every human life wh
et
her it is a developing child in the womb or somebody approaching the end of
their life. When I graduate and
become a doctor I am hoping to be able to use my skills to help save lives.
I think abortion is never the answer and hope that one day, as a doctor,
I will be able to help women to make the right decision."
Siobhan Fearon, 19, of
Hull
York
Medical
School
. This
"Life Quote" is from Lutherans For Life – www.lutheransforlife.org.
GLOBAL
LINK: –
Mt.
Calvary
Lutheran
Church
and Preschool is
linked to
Hong Kong
, where GEO missionary Andrea Bolognini serves.
She writes, “This month has been filled with Christmas activities! One
of the highlights was
Lui
Cheung
Kwong
Lutheran
Primary School
’s first ever ‘Christmas English Extravaganza.’
It was an all-day English camp that the English teachers of Lui Cheung
Kwong, my fellow missionaries, and I planned.
The day began when 40 third and fourth graders arrived at school during
their Christmas vacation. The
students were divided into three groups: Jesus’ parents, shepherds, and wise
men. Then, the children spent time
learning about their parts in the Christmas story, practicing skits that
reenacted their roles, and performing the skits for their fellow classmates.
They also played games, did crafts, and decorated gingerbread cookies.
It was a way to teach about both American culture and the true meaning of
Christmas. The camp allowed me to
connect with students who may know about Jesus but do not believe in Him.
It also provided an opportunity to share the message with the students’
parents. Many parents want their
children to have a good education so they send them to Christian schools, even
if they are not believers. The camp
made the students eager to share what they did all day with their parents which
meant sharing about the Christmas story! The
students are a blessing from God because they can reach their non-English
speaking parents in ways that I cannot.”
