This Week @ Calvary

Congregational Voters’ Meeting
Join us in the Sanctuary Sun., Sept 22 following the 10:45 a.m. service for a congregational call meeting. The Call Committee is prepared to bring before the congregation the candidate short list for the congregation’s consideration and vote. Candidate information is available in the church office or underneath the welcome TVs outside the Sanctuary. We will also be considering a proposed update to Calvary’s bylaws regarding our membership process. Copies of the proposed changes with explanation are located at the entry doors to the Sanctuary.  

Silent Auction Donations Needed for Calvary Bazaar
There are many options for you to help make this year’s SILENT AUCTION a great success! You can purchase or ask your favorite business to donate a gift card. (Restaurant & Amazon cards have been good sellers.) You can bring new or like-new items. You can donate a service. You could ask the company you work for to donate items and/or services.
Pick up a pink donation form at the Women in Mission table and return the form with your item(s) to the church office. The sooner we get these donations the better. No need to wait until the Oct 20 deadline.
The more items we have, the more we can raise for Calvary School classroom tables and chairs; upgrade of the men’s church facilities; and support for Lutheran Child & Family Services Emergency Shelter Care, a program which provides for residents between the ages 11-17 in need of short-term care. Check out some of this year’s Silent Auction donations online at clcs.org/bazaar. We must have all items by Oct 20.

September is Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month. This is a nationwide effort to raise awareness about hunger in America & inspire action. Lutheran Child & Family Services (LCFS), Calvary’s September Partner in Mission, is doubling down on their efforts to mitigate hunger concerns in the Indianapolis area. LCFS is seeking food, monetary donations & volunteers for their food panty – “The Sharing Place”, which serves over 6,000 family members every month. Calvary members have provided long term support of LCFS though our time, talents and treasures. 
Calvary also supports Hunger, Inc and the Emmaus Food Pantry through the Community Garden Team, Women in Mission’s Extravagant Sharing, and Compassion’s food drives.    

All Ministry Team Meeting (Tues., Sept 17, 7:00 p.m.)
All members of Calvary’s 10 ministry teams are invited to join us in the Sanctuary on Tues., Sept 17 for an informational meeting. We look forward to the year ahead of ministry together. Please pay attention to communication from your team’s director for specific information of when and where your team will meet for your individual meeting. 

Music Ministry Update: Your Assistance Needed
Calvary's leadership is working on interim solutions as Chorale and Handbell rehearsals have resumed on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. (choir) & 8:00 p.m. (handbells).
We ask for your prayers and your assistance as we work to fill these roles. If you or anyone you know has the ability and desire to fill these positions [(1) a part-time organist, (2) a Chorale Director, (3) Chorale accompanist and (4) a Handbell Director], please contact the church office. This does not have to be just one person doing all these different jobs. It can be distributed to multiple people based on capabilities and time commitments. Thank you!
