Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

With Joy and Thanksgiving, the people of Calvary faithfully continue to offer their time, talents, and treasure to support Calvary’s ministries, our local and global communities, and each other. This year, the Stewardship Committee:

• Worked alongside Debra Machos, Mary Keller, and Kathy Humen to conduct a full review of organizations supported through the Benevolence portion of our budget. Some dedicated accounts and budget line items were restructured to ensure continued alignment with Calvary’s contributions of time, goods, and funds.
• Worked with the Worship and Music Committee to remind us that even when we give online, the physical act of passing the offering plate is still a meaningful part of worship that we are able to share together. Special thanks to Kathy Humen for making such nice online giving cards for the pews and to our ushers for ensuring each row has the opportunity to participate.
• Launched the 2025 Stewardship Campaign, With Joy and Thanksgiving. Special thanks to Mary Reichenbach for designing the logo and to Brandon Graeber, Cheril Rios, and Amanda Rothe for sharing their personal experiences and what Calvary means to them through their Temple Talks.

We continue to give thanks for and lift up this community of faith. We are blessed to be a part of Calvary and honored to have served alongside you this year.
