A Message from Pastor Rich

Calvary Church Family,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father
and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

This Sunday, we gather to celebrate All Saints Sunday, a sacred time to remember with gratitude those who have gone before us in faith and to give thanks for the many ways their lives have shaped our own.
We remember loved ones who are no longer with us, and God’s promises and hope in the resurrection of our Lord, Our Rock and our Redeemer. Let us give thanks for their lives and legacies, and celebrate the enduring hope we share in Jesus Christ.

“Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight … and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.” 
Hebrews 12:1

Help us to honor the saints and may we continue to walk in the light of Jesus Christ until that day when we are gathered in your everlasting presence.
We would love for you to join our church family. 

If you are interested in finding out more about church membership, join Pastor Hogg to learn about the Lutheran faith and Calvary's mission, vision & principles.

November Study: Shared Narrative Leadership
As we approach the end of the year, we look at the role of leaders as "storytellers around the
campfire". Our goal is to communicate Calvary’s vision effectively, reframing institutional challenges into stories of adaptive opportunity.

● Suggested Reading: The Practicing Congregation, Chapter 6 (cont.): (pp. 98–102) and Afterword (pp. 103–105).
● Monthly Reflection Question: Instead of a story of "decline" (numbers and budgets), how can we tell a story of "adaptive opportunity" as we strive to retire our debt by 2027?

Lutheran Services of the Carolinas
