This Week at Calvin

August, a month usually associated with vacation, is shaping up to be an exciting month at Calvin.  Each Sunday we will be celebrating something special with members of our congregation.

 

This Sunday Glenn Schipper, a very faithful member is turning 45 years old.  He would like to share his birthday with all at Calvin.  So during the coffee and fellowship time he is providing cupcakes for all to enjoy.  If you are a friend of Glenn and would like to help him celebrate, you are more than welcome to come and worship with him at 10:15 Sunday morning.  Calvin is located at 326 7th Ave SE in Le Mars, Iowa.

 

The service this Sunday Pastor Nevada De Lapp continues a short sermon series on John chapter 6, that Jesus is the Bread of Life.  His text this Sunday is John 6: 41 - 51.  Glenda Habben will read the Old Testament passage of 1 Kings 19: 4 - 8.  Psalm 34: 1 - 8 will be read responsively by all.  Lyn Bulthuis is reading Ephesians 4: 25 - 5:2.  Alyssa Grigsby will be our worship accompanist this week.  She will lead the congregation in the singing of "Come Thou Almighty King", "Holy, Holy", "Hope of the Nations" and "Father, I Adore You.

 

Other servers will be Pete and Mary Attema as Greeters, Ina Bjorge and June Vos the Coffee Servers, John Klocksiem, the Usher, Elaine Zomermaand in the Nursery, Steve Ver Mulm on the Sound System and Jeremy Kamp at PowerPoint.  

 

Sunday, the 19th, we look forward to celebrating baptism and having a special offering designated for The Northern Lighthouse.

 

The ladies at Calvin are planning to attend The Bible League Fall Retreat on September 11.  Liz Curtis Higgs and Jennifer Frens will provide a special day with an evening concert by The Matthews.  Registration brochures are available from Mary Van Hill or online at bibleleague.org/retreat18.  Any other questions can be directed to Kathy Ver Mulm.
