Calvary Lutheran Church

The Annual Church picnic has been changed to Sunday, July 26th. Same time. Same place. Hope to see you there. Come and worship with us this Sunday also.

Summer is here, and lots of people are enjoying God's beautiful creation. We are blessed to have Lake Michigan and its freshwater, along with all the nearby lakes and rivers. Along with the fabulous trees up north. Explore nature, reflect on its beauty, and thank God for giving us this land to live on and spend time in replenishing our weary souls. Pastor Heather.

Re-elected! Bishop Anne Edison-Albright has been elected for another term as Bishop of the East-Central Synod of Wisconsin.

Thanks be to God.

Please remember that Pastor Heather will never email and ask for gift cards.

In a statement released to the synod on January 12th, Bishop Anne Edison-Albright shares, "Bishops, Pastors and Deacons in the ELCA are called to speak publicly “in solidarity with the poor and oppressed, calling for justice and proclaiming God’s love for the world.” Common narratives sometimes present that call as separate or a distraction from our call to proclaim the Gospel, the Good News of God in Jesus Christ. But this is not the case. Jesus’ death on a cross and astounding resurrection is not separate from his commands to love one another, his frequent teaching on economic justice, and his care for the alien, the orphan, the widow, and the outcast. It’s all part of the Good News of how God defies human expectations–the expectations we have about who is “last” and who is “first,” and even our expectations about life and death. God’s grace is more powerful than death, and a call to oppose everything death-dealing in this life."
