Our new  Youth Director, Kasi Wilson, has reinstituted the Youth News newsletter. Tap the image above to see the latest edition.

Several expressions of the Lutheran Church have sprung into action to provide assistance and relief: On the national level, Lutheran Disaster Response. In the Carolinas, Lutheran Disaster Response in the Carolinas, and in our state, The North Carolina Synod Disaster Fund which is used to support affected NC congregations.

By clicking on the links you can learn about each organization's approach, obtain helpful information that you may want to pass on if you know folks in the affected areas, and you can make a special donation.

You may want to pay special attention to LDR Carolinas' blog and to this helpful checklist from Pastor Rusty Kehl, a former contractor, on how storm-affected people might want to deal with contractors. (If you know someone affected, you may want to share that document with him/her.)

On "All Saints Sunday" many Christian churches remember the saints in their congregation who joined The Church Triumphant during the previous year. We will do this at Calvary at both worship services--with one NEW twist.

In addition to the departed saints of the congregation, we want to remember and pray for family members, friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. who died during the preceding 12 months.

If you would like to have the name of a departed person who was dear to you included in the prayers and remembrances on All Saints Sunday, please convey that information to Susan in the church office, either by phone or via email.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, October 28.
