  Season of Thanks Duringthe 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!

  Stewardship The new approachto stewardship is not primarily about paying the congregation’s bills. Instead stewardship is about how the congregation together can do God’s work. It is about how the congregation can together live out God’s call to love God and our neighbors. Stewardship is directly tied to discipleship. It is no longer about the congregation’s need to receive, but about the giver’s need to give. Stewardship is a way of life. It is not just about what is given to the congregation, but about how generous we are with all that God has entrusted to our care both inside and outside of the church walls and in our homes.
