February Beacon From Mount Calvary Church

Update on our Children’s Sunday School

Thank you to our students, parents, teachers, Candace Ord, and Gabriel Edwards for your Epiphany presentation of the Christmas story. You delivered the Message in a beautiful way with joyful voices and with respect to our Lord and Savior. Also, thank you for your voices, Christmas Eve, 8 pm service by singing verses of He Whom Shepherds Once Came Praising moving to the four corners of our sanctuary symbolizing God’s Word of His Son’s birth reaching the four corners of the world. Your voices and presence added to our worship. The SS students will be singing Glory Be to Jesus on Ash Wednesday at 7 PM. Thank you for enhancing our worship service. The pre-kindergarten/kindergarten classroom will be moving to the West Wing. The classroom will be converted to the Coffee and Teatime area which will be continued during our church renovations. We all must do our part to accommodate each other. We look forward to the future as we venture forward in faith! Youth – Pastor & Erin Seifferlein will be traveling with our youth to the Higher Things Winter Retreat being hosted by First Trinity, Pittsburgh during President’s Day weekend. As you may recall, last year we hosted this event for teens in our Circuit and beyond! Due to our renovations, the site was changed this year to Pittsburgh. We pray for our pastor who will be participating as a presenter, Erin as chaperone, and youth as their faith is strengthened through seminars, Bible studies, and Christian fellowship. Bonds are made among the youth that last throughout their teens and into their twenties. We treasure our youth, and we want them to stay close to God. This particular quality program provides an opportunity for that to occur.

Welcome David-Paul Schulze as the New Youth Leader

We welcome our new youth leader David-Paul Schulze, who is now leading the youth class on Sunday mornings after Mr. Pirino’s recent move to Florida. David-Paul is a recent graduate of Valparaiso University in the school of engineering. He was raised in Brooklyn where his father is a LCMS pastor and he attended various Lutheran schools, including one his mother and congregation ran. The students are studying Luther’s Large Catechism. We thank the congregation for their support of the youth, including new materials for their class.
