How will God give us our new Pastor?

Our first call attempts were declined but our heavenly Father has the devine plan. We have been blessed with the service of Pastor Rob Appold who has agreed to be our vacancy pastor during this time of transition. Meanwhile, Mt Calvary Lutheran Church of Greenville is taking nominations from our members for possible inclusion in the next list of candidates from our Michigan District. Pastor Glenn Schaeffer, (Circuit Visitor) continues to guide our call committee through the steps. Members of Mount Calvary ask for your prayers that the Holy Spirit will send to us the one called to serve.

Pastor Profile Summary

This is our congregational call statement: “He will be a leader who can build consensus among the congregation and lead them out into the community to build relationships. Mount Calvary is looking for a pastor who is creative and willing to work in the community. He will be able to reach across all ages to engage them in the life of the church. He will be open and able to do both traditional and contemporary worship. He will be a good teacher. He will also take time to visit the sick and shut-ins. He should be approachable and have a good sense of humor.”

Our Call Committee

The call committee members of Mt Calvary will review candidates and prayerfully deliberate on those He sends. The time frame is also in God’s hands. Please pray for our congregation to growth in faith from this time of transition. Pray for the pastor we are calling and the congregation from where he comes as they enter their time of transition. And as always, pray for opportunities to share the gospel of Christ with all the world!

YOUTH LIFE

On December 22, about 25 youth and their families gathered to go caroling. Some of Mount Calvary’s family have not ventured far from their homes due to the pandemic. The youth decided that a caroling adventure would be a nice opportunity to bring the Mount Calvary Christmas Spirit to them. We visited 13 homes and sang a couple of songs at each. We were blessed to have a couple of students from the Chinese immersion program who sang “We wish you a Merry Christmas” in Chinese as a finale at a few of the homes. Thank you to the Christian Growth committee for providing a treat for each of the students.

Kids Against Hunger 2019

November 2, 2019 |  | Make A Comment | Church Blog

Kids Against Hunger food packaging, equivalent to 16,000 meals. Great turnout of volunteers from Greenville Area congregations, Saturday, Nov. 2!

Packaging these nutritious bags of food for up to two hours (10a-12p) requires 5 tables (10 persons per table) for every 10,000 meals. As in the past, we can package up to 20,000 meals with 10 tables, requiring approximately 100 volunteers. This equates to a cost for food supplies of about $500 per table (2000 meals packaged per table). Donations to our Benevolence Fund are most welcome to help pay for a table of volunteers. We’re thankful to Thrivent Financial for their commitment to this year’s event! Pastor Jeff
