DESSERT REQUEST
Once again, we will be hosting the “After Glow Luncheon” for the volunteers from all of the organizations who helped with “Gifts For All God’s Children.”  The luncheon will take place here at Mt. Calvary on Friday, February 15 at 11:45 a.m.  Bill Buchanan is making the main course, but desserts are needed. Last year we had over 60 volunteers for lunch.  Please contact Terrie in the church office if you can donate a dessert or help with parking lot security.   ​

COUNCIL OF LUTHERAN WOMEN LUNCHEON
Lucie Witte is collecting reservations for the Council of Lutheran Women Luncheon on Tuesday, March 19 at Burton Manor in Livonia where we will be honoring Elizabeth Parrish as our "Woman of the Year". The ticket cost is $29 and is payable by cash or check (payable to: MT. CALVARY). This year's featured speaker will be Gayle Sommerfeld, one of the founders of MOST Ministries (Mission Opportunities Short Term). Gayle has written a book about her experience with founding MOST, entitled "Beyond Sight". As this is not a CPH publication, advance orders will be necessary if you'd like to have a copy of her book. The cost will be $12.10 and you may pick up your book at the Luncheon. Let Lucie know if you're interested in ordering a copy of Gayle's book.

LUTHERAN HOUR MINISTRIES
Listen to “The Lutheran Hour” every Sunday with host Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler on the following radio dials: Detroit WDFN (1130) @ 6:30 a.m.; WRDT (560) @ 6:30 p.m. and Sirius XM Satellite Family Radio 170 @ 1:00 P.M.  Next Sunday, February 10, the Lutheran Hour theme will be: “Where Heaven Meets Earth” – Hitting that snooze button may be doing more harm than good.  It’s time to stop spiritual snoozing and wake up.  (John 3:1-21)
