Some Recent Announcements on the Youth at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church
Our classes are growing and we are thankful to the Lord!
Sunday School Update – 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 Sunday School 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 Class joining Lutheran fellowship and teaching at Higher Things
Youth Class – 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. The theme is Life By Drowning and will focus on baptism among other important topics.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 our new Youth Leader
A few weeks ago David-Paul was installed as the new Youth Leader at MCLC! He is a graduate of Valparaiso University in the school of engineering. David-Paul has been going through Luther’s Large Catechism with the youth. After a couple sessions, they are about to start the 2nd commandment: “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.” Luther understood this commandment to mean the right hearing and learning of God’s Word. This is the goal of both the new youth class and Luther’s Large Catechism. Keep David-Paul and the youth in your prayers that they may continue to grow in faith and God’s Word.
