June Mission of the Month - |
|
June Mission of the Month:
Global Workers/World Mission Prayer League (WMPL)
The World Mission Prayer League is an official ministry partner of the NALC. WMPL grew out of a God-given burden to pray for the unreached interiors of Africa, Asia, and Latin America in the 1930’s. A band of students, pastors and friends in the Minneapolis area joined together in prayer that the Lord of the harvest would send laborers into his harvest.
They founded the South American Mission Prayer League in Minneapolis on May 25, 1937, committed to providing a way for lay participation in mission and to complement the regular work of the Lutheran synods, without diverting means or personnel from their programs.
WMPL says of itself…we are committed to pray, as Jesus commands his followers in Matthew 9:38 – “Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” We are a… community of men and women who are committed to prayer - the “working method” of our mission.
The World Mission Prayer League exists to see that populations with limited or no access to the Gospel experience the love of Christ and that believers and communities of believers in the Americas and elsewhere engage in active and collaborative participation in living out their roles in the great commission.
This month, we are supporting missionaries from WMPL who will be our guests at Calvary in worship on the weekend of June 19-20. The Nelsons met our missionaries in 1995 while studying at Luther Seminary.
Our Mission of the Month offerings will:
1. Directly support their work through World Mission Prayer League;
2. Support a “Ministry Fund” - used to equip students of the Seminary – where in addition to theological education students visit congregations near the seminary leading and preaching Sunday Worship services as well help in an after school program for children in its neighborhood and;
3. Be earmarked for the future development of a Boarding School of Northern India – envisioned as a place for primary education in a Christian environment.
We hope you will learn more about WMPL – their website is www.wmpl.org, and generously support the mission work Calvary does in India through this wonderful Lutheran ministry.
To support this important Mission of the Month, you may include it in your weekly offering envelope or designate the donation as "Mission of the Month" in your online giving.

"Calvary Spruce Up and Clean Up Day" - June 12
Join us for the Annual "Calvary Spruce Up and Clean Up Day" on Saturday June 12 starting around 9 a.m. We hope to finish by 2 p.m. Come for a few hours or whatever time you can spare, however the morning hours tend to be the most productive.
We will start with trimming the shrubs and bushes on the berms on the perimiter of the property, then start spreading mulch all along the property. Another crew will do some trimming of the trees as needed, plant flowers around the bell tower and near the administrative wing entrance.
If you can help. bring your favorite trimmer, pruner, wheel barrow or pick up truck for removing the trimmings to the dump. Water and snacks will be provided.
This is also a time to meet people that usually attend worship on the day you may not attend, so fellowship is also part of the theme for the day. Come as you like, with or without a mask, with or without tools or a truck, just come and join us.

WORSHIP LIVE STREAM AVAILABLE EVERY SUNDAY! |
Can't make it to worship? We are live streaming the 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday mornings, and it's almost like you're with us in person.
You can access it at any time from the home page of our website (www.calvarylc.com), or by using the link below. You'll also receive a link on Sunday mornings via email.

The right side of the Sanctuary (as you face the altar) is equipped with a hearing loop system which transmits an audio signal directly into a hearing aid via a magnetic field. This greatly reduces background noise, competing sounds, reverberation and other acoustic distortions that reduce clarity of sound.
Most hearing aids are equipped with a t-coil and connecting to this system is an easy switch on the hearing aid. If you need assistance during worship with this system, please reach out to an usher or any staff member.

The church office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until noon. The door that is closest to the office (NW corner) will be open during those hours.
