A Congregational meeting is scheduled for today at 4:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall. The purpose of the meeting is to make a call to fill our vacancy. The Call Committee has prayerfully reviewed the list of eight candidates that were provided from the District Office and would like to present to you three candidates for your consideration in extending a Call to be the Pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church. The names have been reviewed, phone interviews conducted and consideration for the candidate have been deliberated. The Call Committee presents for your consideration the following names listed alphabetically:
Pastor Brady Finnern of Sartell, Minnesota Pastor Justin Panzer of Abilene, Kansas Pastor Wayne Rostek of Norton, Kansas
We ask that you prayerfully consider these candidates and keep their home congregation as well as Calvary in your prayers. Praise be to God for providing us with good, quality servants to consider. Pray for God’s will in providing Calvary with a Pastor. The 2017 Flower Chart has been posted on the bulletin board across from the mailboxes in the Narthex. Won’t you please consider providing flowers for one or more Sundays to help enhance Calvary’s worship services? If you would like to furnish flowers, please sign your name and list the occasion on the date/s of your choice.

THIRD SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY - Matt. 4:12–25
“Therefore the treasures of the gospel are nets with which one
formerly fished for men of wealth. The Apostle said, ‘I seek not what
is yours, but you’ [2 Cor. 12:14]. And Christ said, ‘I will make you
fishers of men’ [Matt. 4:19]. This sweet word directs as it attracts the
will; indeed, it makes a man surrender his will to Christ. Hence St.
Peter, portrayed as a fisherman in the city [of Rome], says, ‘For my
ship I steer the Church, all the regions of the world are my sea, the
Scripture is my net, man is the fish.’” LW 31:232–33
(Explanations of The Ninety-five Theses, #65)
Quotation from Luther’s Works, American Edition
(56 vols.; St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House
and Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1955–1986)
