Sunday Announcements

1. Welcome to Calvary
August 24, 2014
Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost
"And I also say to you that you are
Peter, and on this rock I will build My
church, and the gates of Hades shall
not prevail against it. "And I will give
you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven, and whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven.“ Matthew 13:18-20

2. We welcome Pastor Catrina Hawkins-Bowles to
Calvary, who leads worship for us this morning
and brings us God’s Word.
Pastor Janet is on vacation through August 24. Should you
have a need or an emergency, please call the Visitation Team
Chair, Mary Webb, at 775-4594. Additional Team members

3. What commandment did Jesus say was the most
important? _________________________
Bible Quiz
Hint: The answer can be found in the book of Matthew.
There are Bibles in the pew racks
Write your answer and your name on a piece of paper and
drop it in the Bible Quiz box in the rear of the sanctuary. A
winner will be drawn each week from all the correct
answers submitted. The previous week’s winner’s name
will appear on a slide each week, and who knows, you
might even get a surprise!
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind Matt 22:37

4. 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!

do these things and when they are not here it won’t get
done. We need some help!

16. Stewardship
A simple but profound way to be a good steward of God's gift
of time is to attend Church regularly and to establish a good
prayer life. Even those who may feel they don't have the
means to contribute in any other way can still pray for the
needs of the Church, the world, their community and
individual members of the community.
We need not excel at something to be talented. Instead of
asking "Will you volunteer?" ask "How will you use your gifts
to serve others?" A volunteer can say yes or no, but as
baptized disciples/followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to
use our gifts to serve others and build up the kingdom of God.
We are his hands and feet, eyes and ears, mind and heart in
the world.

17. Ushers are needed to assist with the 8:15AM
Service during the month of September. If you
are available to volunteer in this way, please
contact Ken Tomko at #740-775-6778 Thank
you!

updated appliances for church events and celebrations,
including additional roasters ($30-$40) and a larger basement
refrigerator (26-28 cubic feet of storage space, $2000-$3000).
These appliances would belong to Calvary and be for Church
use for gatherings here at Calvary (Oktoberfest, holidays,
showers, birthdays, funerals, etc.). These new appliances
would provide additional cooking and storage space for our
church functions. If you would like contribute to any of these
wishes, contact Brenda Segelhorst (#775-5115), or place your
donation in the Free Will Offering and label your envelope
“Appliance”. Thank you!
