Our Ministry Expansion Campaign’s three-year giving period begins on Sunday, December 3, 2023. You may have heard some of our campaign team members refer to this day as the “First Fruits Celebration.” This is when we harvest the initial campaign gifts pledged by everyone in the congregation, and it is connected to when the Israelites were commanded to give the first fruits of their bountiful harvest. We, too, are called to fear, love, and trust in God and his promises as we give sacrificially. There are many ways to give: (1) place cash or checks in the blue ‘Building Fund’ envelopes available in the narthex – remember to put your offering number and name on the back of the envelope (these envelopes will be available in your 2024 envelope boxes), (2) see the information on electronic giving below, and (3) for other giving inquiries contact Mount Calvary Lutheran Church. Regardless of your chosen giving method, the campaign team would like to remind you to give cheerfully so we all may grow in our faith individually and as a congregation. Gifts will be received through December 2026 – and beyond!
