Wealth shines in giving rather than in hoarding: for the miser is
hateful, whereas the generous man is applauded.
On-line giving is now available.
Your support of Mount Calvary is always appreciated, and you may now give on-line if you desire.
Here is how it works:
>Go to www.mt-calvarylutheran.org.
>On the bottom right of the home page click the “donate” button.
>You will be taken to a secure PayPal page. (You do not need a PayPal account.)
>Enter the amount of your donation and your credit or debit card information.
Your donations will be listed on your annual giving statement. All undesignated contributions will go into the General
Fund. You can, however, make a contribution to a special cause like the Stepping Forward in Faith Appeal by entering
the information in the “purpose” box on the webpage. If you desire, you can also make your offering an automatic
monthly contribution.
About Our Interim Pastor
The Rev. Walter L. Startzel was born in Northumberland County, in the southwest corner of
Pennsylvania’s northeastern coal region, September 10, 1946.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove,
PA, in 1968 and taught public school music in the Northern York County Jr./Sr. High School,
Dillsburg, PA for one year.
He received the Master of Divinity from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, PA in
1973 and accepted his first call to parish ministry at Lavansville-Bakersville Lutheran Parish in
central Somerset County. He was pastor there at Mt. Calvary and Mt. Zion Lutheran Churches for
13 ½ years.
Subsequently, he has served parishes in Stoverstown, York County; Gowen City, Northumberland
County; Stoystown and Hooversville, Somerset County, all in Pennsylvania. His final call to Grace
Lutheran Church in Stoystown marked the longest pastoral call to that congregation – 25 years -in the entire history of that congregation, founded in 1807. During his final 2 years in Stoystown,
he was called by the Allegheny Synod Council to help create a new 2-church parish with the
congregations in Stoystown and Hooversville, to be known as the Stonycreek Lutheran Parish.
He retired from that ministry on July 1, 2014, purchased a home in Westmont, and began serving
as a supply pastor throughout the Johnstown Conference. In addition to being our Interim Pastor
at Mount Calvary until a new pastor is called, he is also serving as Vacancy Pastor at Trinity
Lutheran Church, Sidman, and St. John Lutheran Church, Summerhill. On the second Sunday of
each month he has also been serving as a Supply Pastor at Christ Lutheran Church, Westmont.
Prior to that appointment, he had been serving on the second weekend each month at First Lutheran
Church, Johnstown.
Pastor Startzel is actively involved in the life of Allegheny Synod, chairing the Allegheny Synod
Worship Committee and as a faculty member in the area of liturgy and worship in the synod’s
DYD (Discerning Your Discipleship) program. DYD now helps prepare lay worship leaders to
assist in the congregations of our Allegheny Synod.
Pastor Startzel is very much enjoying his time here at Mount Calvary and joins the congregation
in prayer that a new pastor will soon be called as the Holy Spirit guides and enlightens us through
this process.

Registration: 11:45 am
Lunch 12:00 noon with program to follow.
Mt. Sinai Institutional Baptist Church
351 Second Street, (E. Conemaugh)
Guest Speaker: Rev. Webster Israel
Our theme focus is bringing Christian women together
from different cultural backgrounds to share stories from
their Christian journey. The goal of this worship is to
unite the faith community in a time of praise and
worship that demonstrates Christ’s reconciling love to
the community, the country, and the world.
Thanks for Caring & Sharing with less fortunate individuals. Because of your generosity, 80 people from third world countries or those experiencing a natural disaster will have basic items we take for granted. They will have their “own” towel & soap to bathe, a toothbrush, comb & nail clippers. We also sent 6 blankets and $ 400.00 to purchase additional blankets, and provided $50.00 shipping costs. Kudos to the 7th & 8th grade Sunday School Class for assembling the Personal Care Kits. A generous parishioner supplied 16 back pack school kits. Great Job faithful Servants! Calling all Writers for the Advent Devotional
All members are welcome to
write a devotional for our Advent
booklet. Please let us know if you
are interested in writing one.

SLEEPING MATS FOR THE
HOMELESS PROJECT
(A Way for Everyone to Help!)
As the Outreach Team
works toward our latest
mission project, creating
sleeping mats for the
homeless from clean
grocery store plastic bags,
we are asking the entire congregation for your
help. While not everyone is able to crochet the
mats, there is a need for people to cut the bags
and form the yarn (or “plarn”) which is used to
construct the mats, and more basic than this, we
need bags! Each mat requires between 500 –
700 bags. A new trash receptacle is in the rear
of the Narthex marked for the collection of
bags. Instruction sheets detailing both how to
cut the bags to prepare the plarn and how to
crochet the mats are on the bulletin board
directly above the receptacle. If you prefer to
work as an individual, that is fine. Anyone
interested in getting together for a “Plarn Party”
to cut bags and prepare for crocheting, please
call Kim Colosimo at 254-4558.

Saturday’s Kitchen Sunday, December 6th is Mount Calvary’s last day in 2015 to have the privilege of serving food to guests at Saturday’s Kitchen. If you have done this before, you know how rewarding the experience can be. If you have not, we welcome new faces. We’ll need to arrive by 11:00 a.m. and will be done by 1:15 at the latest. Please call either the church office or Kim Colosimo at 254‐4558 with questions or interest.
Calling any artistic person!!! We need someone who could paint a logo on each end of the gym in the next few weeks. It would be the church logo of 3 crosses on hills either with or without the "reflection" of the cross on the hill as in the original logo. Please let the church office know if you can fill the bill. The first thanksgiving was celebrated by two different groups of people coming
together and sharing food. They didn’t even speak the same language, yet they broke
bread as one. From the time our children are little, parents can be heard saying, “You need to
share that.”, “You have two, give the other to someone else.”
This year for Harvest Home, take your child shopping and let
him/her choose their favorite food to donate. Explain that
like the Indians on the first Thanksgiving, we are sharing our
bounty with another. Even if that bounty is Lucky Charms or
Fruit Loops.
Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and Give Thanks.
PROPOSED CHANGE TO BY ‐LAWS Why is Mount Calvary’s Council proposing these changes to our By‐laws? In 2010 this was changed so that there would be a 2 year term and new council would be elected bi‐annually with a 2 year term. With this set up it would be possible that all 12 members of council could leave at the same time, with 12 new members not knowing what was done or needs to be completed. It would make for a stronger council if some members were left on council when new members come in. In the past it was that council shall be elected for 3 years and could serve 2 terms. At any one time only 4 members of council would leave and 8 would remain. The terms of one third (1/3) of the members of the congregation council shall expire each year. What is being proposed? That section B12.02.01 of the by‐laws be changed to read. Members of the congregational council shall be elected for a term of three (3) years at the January meeting of the congregation. Terms of one third (1/3) of the members of congregational council shall expire each year. Terms shall coincide with Chapter12 (C12.02) of the Constitution. JOHNSTOWN CONFERENCE MEETING October 21, 2015 Bishop Michael opened the Conference meeting with devotions on Matthew 28. He continued to explain that the Allegheny Synod is made up of 116 congregations, 7 counties, and an average of 35,000 in attendance each Sunday throughout the Synod. Bishop Michael explained the definition of Synod, which means “Walking Together.” In Bishop Michael’s presentation on Mission Support he stressed the importance of what our ministry is within the Synod. He explained the various ways we do provide ministry and service in our congregations and the Synod. Each congregation has their own ways of providing service in their communities however, it is also important to provide support to the Synod so they can provide each congregation with services. The Bishop discussed the challenge to each congregation. He is asking each member of each congregation to help support the ministry and services the Synod provides by trying to give $1.00 more a week to the benevolence fund for mission support. He is also asking all congregations to increase the amount they are currently giving each year for mission support. We do not have a money problem in our congregations. WE HAVE A SHARING PROBLEM!!! LET’S REMEMBER WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR US…and do as this little duck is doing and take a little step in our benevolence by giving $1.00 more each week. He sends his thanks… Respectfully Submitted by: Claudia Plows

Mount Calvary’s prayer for mission:
Send your Holy Spirit, O Lord, to guide
the ministry of Mount Calvary that we
may grow together as disciples of Jesus
Christ. Inspire our worship, give wisdom
to our learning, be the center of our
fellowship, encourage our giving, and give
zeal to our witness. We ask this in Jesus’
name. Amen
