Calvary's Quilters Made Quilts for the Victims of Kentucky Tornados
Kindred Lutheran Parish Work Together for Our Community and WorldMembers from St. John's Lutheran and Calvary teamed up this year to generously help donate their resources and skills to make quilts and provide school kits, baby care kits, personal care kits, and sewing kits for Lutheran World Relief Effort and for our local community. St. John's Lutheran provided 8 baby care kits, 24 personal care kits, 8 quilts, and 15 school kits. Calvary provided 18 sewing kits, 140 personal care kits, 101 quilts, and 136 school kits. The combined total was 26 baby and sewing kits, 164 personal care kits, 151 school kits, and 109 quilts. In addition, Calvary was able to give 10 quilts to AVAIL in Antigo and 10 quilts for the refugees at Fort McCoy. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone in our Kindred Lutheran Parish churches that helped to make this happen!

Hey God...
Holy and Faithful God,
Be attentive to all who wait expectantly for your mercy in times of crisis, illness, fear, and grief. Answer them when they cry out to you. You have clothed the saints in the light of Christ. Teach us to live in his ways until the great day when he comes to make all things new. 
"God's Work. Our Hands." Sunday, September 13, 2020Members of Calvary looked a little different than last year with our masks on, but we enjoyed participating in "God's Work. Our Hands" Sunday on September 13th. What a joyous day it was as we tied fleece blankets for the Foster children in Langlade County and picked up Veterans' flags in the cemeteries in the Antigo area. Thank you Thrivent for assisting us financially with being able to purchase the supplies for the fleece blankets! We were so glad to have Jennifer Sosinski and her daughter, Rachel, lend a hand. Jennifer is from the Wittenberg area and is a Lay School graduate and candidate for the TEEM Program. The TEEM certificate program provides alternative preparation for those who will provide pastoral ministry in emerging ministry contexts throughout the church. Jennifer led our worship service on Sept 13. The gathering after service gave people the opportunity to learn a little more about Jennifer and her family.

What a great group from Calvary – they really did WALK the TALK to feed the hungry. 25% of the funds raised remain in Langlade County and are directed to our local food pantries in Antigo, Elcho and White Lake. Members/friends/family of Calvary took part in the CROP Hunger Walk on October 3, 2021.
CROP Hunger Walks are community based walk events held in cities and towns across the United States, raising funds to support the global mission of Church World Service (CWS), a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. Calvary's Quilt SquadFor 2019 our Calvary's Quilters worked on their beautiful one of a kind creations for 400 hours (plus hours spent sewing at home by members). In that time they made and donated 11 baby quilts to AVAIL, 60 quilts. 8 sewing kits to Lutheran World Relief, and 2 lap quilts to The Bay at Eastview. In addition, they also donated $400.00 to be put toward heating bills at Calvary. Way to go Calvary's Quilters!
