Call News:
Dear Members of Mt Calvary and Grace,
Thank you for all the prayers, conversations, and encouragement I have received throughout
the last two weeks as I deliberated how I can best serve God’s purpose. It has been a joy and a
comfort to remember that God works all things for the good of His church and His people. I have decided, with the Lord’s guidance, to humbly accept your call to serve as the teacher of 4k and kindergarten at Mt Calvary-Grace. I look forward to serving with you to help spread our Lord's message of the gospel.
With Christian Love,
Clara Handy
Bible Sign-up: In the back of the church there is a sign up for Lutheran Study Bibles, there is an escalating discount for bulk orders. You can sign up for yourself or for buying them for next years confirmation students (going forward Grace will provide all of the 6th Graders that are in Pastor Franzo’s class nicer bibles for their use and so this first year we will be catching up with the 7th/8th graders)
Activity Bags: There are activity bags for young children in the narthex by the coat hangers, please use them and hand them back to an usher at the end of service so they can be refilled.
Church Cleaning: There is a sign up sheet to clean the church, please sign up if you are able to help with cleaning the church.
