Dear Members of Mount Calvary,
Eight years ago, Pastor Dan asked me what I was doing with ministry. I told him that I was volunteering. He asked me to send him my resume because Mount Calvary was looking for a Community Minister and Youth Director. I sent my resume, a contract was issued, and after prayerful consideration, I came to Mount Calvary.
Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3, says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." There will be a change in the position of Community Minister and Youth Director at Mount Calvary because I have accepted a position at St. James Lutheran Church and School in Shawano, Wisconsin. My last week at Mount Calvary ends on May 30. This was not an easy decision for me to make, and many tears have been shed.
I thank you for all the prayers and support that Mount Calvary has given me, and I look forward to seeing where God is leading.
Ben Piering
On May 19, join us for a Sending Service and meal afterward.

Changes Coming to
East Parking Lot/Playground
The school is no longer able to use the playground on 53rd Street that is in front of the classroom building. They are using the east playground (or parking lot) for their afternoon recess. In order to provide a safe area, fencing will be installed in a week or two. This will mean that the area will not be available for parking on school days. We will open it up for parking on Sundays and for evening events.

Gift Planning creates solutions for donors. Blended families have become a reality in our culture. That blend requires some very careful planning to ensure inheritance distributions are
appropriate. Your LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor can help you visualize your distributions, keeping things as simple as possible, all the while responding to the challenges of
your situation.
Contact Craig Toerpe, Gift Planning Counselor of the LCMS Foundation to help facilitate these important conversations and assist in making gifts for the family you love and the ministries you care about at 262.707.3005 or craig.toerpe@lfnd.org.
