This Sunday, June 1, is a parish meeting for all members age 16 and over at Calvary. Please join me in Crawford Hall at 9:15 am to hear about our newly established endowments, vote on changes in our financial policy, and vote on the new bylaws we have been working on since January.

Calvary has been blessed over the past year with financial gifts that allow us to establish two endowment funds, funds that will benefit Calvary for generations to come. Our finance team has been working very hard over the past couple of months to establish these funds and work on some changes to our financial policy. One fund will be called the Property Preservation Fund, meant to benefit the integrity of our buildings and grounds. The second fund will be called the Bishop Whipple Calvary Mission Fund, a general endowment for the mission of the parish. Both funds will be managed professionally and used when interest is generated.

The parish meeting will begin promptly at 9:15, so grab some coffee and come upstairs for this important gathering. We are blessed at Calvary not only with these financial resources but also with the amazing people who are members – and the skills and talents of our finance team are beyond measure. John Winter, Christie Atwell, Darren Cooper, Laurie Leaf, Tom Abts, Daniel Borup, and our co-wardens, Ellen Youngers and Jean Fox, have joined together to create something exciting and lasting. I thank God for them.

In the name of our risen and living Lord Christ,
Beth+
