Calvary Members and Friends, Kudos to all of you for your generous spirit and nature. For this year’s
CROP Walk, we raised $1,525.00! And 25% will stay right here in York County! We are making a
difference in diminishing hunger for others with one step at a time. A special thanks goes to Pastor Mike
and Pam, Janelle Frealing and baby Ava, and Lynn McJunkin who all walked on your behalf. Thanks
again. You’re the best!
Love and Blessings from Calvary’s CROP Walk rep, Sally Sheaffer

PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
TODAY - World Hunger Offering – This offering is sponsored by the Missional Board of the
Susquehanna Conference of the UM Church. The goal is at least $1 per person. The offering will be
divided as follows: 25% to world projects through UMCOR, 25% to national projects through UMCOR,
and 50% to Conference projects. Envelopes for your donations are in the boxes of donation envelopes.
THE WELL Citrus and Candle Sale – Orders Due TODAY! – It’s time to order your citrus fruit fresh
from Florida and support The WELL. Navel Oranges, Tangelos, and Pink Grapefruit are available.
Mason Jar Candles are also being sold in four fragrances. Order forms are at the Information Center
and list prices. If you have any questions, contact Sally Sheaffer
Thanksgiving Meal – Wednesday, November 26, 5 – 7 PM. Contact Ginny Adams to find out how you
can help. If you will be joining us for dinner, please sign up on the sheet at the Information Center.
Tree of Warmth – Calvary is partnering with St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church next door on a program to
reach out and help members. When asked how Calvary could help support this program, they said,
“Warm winter wear.” This should be easy for us since we already do our Tree of Warmth in December.
We can add coats to our tree idea and collect items staring now through February. We will use the
closet at the back of the apostles room – please hang the coats and put hats, gloves, mittens, socks,
and scarves in the tote in the closet.
Hanging of the Greens: It’s not too early to think of the Holidays. They will be upon us before we know
it. Please mark your calendar and plan to help decorate the church on Saturday, November 29th, at 10
AM. (Note - it is Saturday, not Sunday, this year.) The sanctuary will need to be decorated as well as the
Parlor and the Apostles Room. All are welcome to join us - men, women, children, and people not afraid
to get on a ladder to hang the wreaths! As much as I think Pastor Roland would like to climb a ladder,
there is no way we’re allowing that to happen! A light lunch will be provided when we are finished.
The WELL – Please continue to bring in non-perishable food, personal care items, and household
items. Please note … The WELL does not need egg cartons or small containers at this time.
Please remember to buy Giant and Weis Grocery Cards from Calvary! To purchase cards, see
Karen Hoover on Sundays or call her at 792-2466. Profits are used to purchase Bibles to give away.
Please help - We need volunteers! Please sign up for one or more of these opportunities to
support your church! Greeters/Ushers, Altar Flower Sponsors, Bulletin Sponsors, Liturgists!
To contact Pastor Mike: 717-877-4791 or pastormikebrossman@comcast.net. In the event of a
pastoral emergency, call Pastor Mike; if he is not available, you may leave a message for him or call
Pastor Roland at 717-840-0725.
