Martha Seger Habitat for Humanity • [email protected] Lore Schmidt Rocky River Golf Club • [email protected] The week of September 23rd, was a very special week; probably the best week I have experienced to date. First we reunited with four ladies, who for various reasons had not been to Opportunity House or Narrowgate services since May. These ladies are very special to us because 3 out of the 4, started coming to Opportunity House and Narrowgate when we were feeding 10, in what is now the furniture hut, at Opportunity House. That was Monday, and it only gets better. Tuesday we announced Opportunity House’s launch of a job program to give people opportunities to work for an hourly wage; a much needed ministry in this area. This created a lot of excitement within the house. Assistant Director, Jeff Mullis, has been working for 5 months to get this started. Thanks Jeff for your hard work and love of ministry. On Thursday morning, Second Harvest mobile food pantry was at MU MC and 15 volunteers from Opportunity House helped 456 families, feeding approximately 1300 people. Later that night, 305 people attended worship services at Forest Hills and Midway UMC’s. Could it get better? On Friday a gentleman living in the shelter arrived at Opportunity House; we will call him “Ray.” “Ray” is suffering severely from Parkinson’s disease and it has affected his speech so much so, that it’s almost impossible to understand or hear what “Ray” is saying. “Ray” was in the hospital on Wednesday and when they contacted his family, they were told that they could no longer take care of him. “Ray” was released and dropped off at the shelter by Taxi. During our morning devotion, “Ray” motioned that he had something to say. Although nobody could hear or understand well, the room was silent. After two minutes, “Ray” put his hand on his heart and started to cry. I looked around the room and there was not a dry eye to be seen. One street-hardened homeless man was so overwhelmed that he had to leave the room. Afterwards, “Ray” was showered with love. Hugs from everyone put a smile back on “Ray’s” face. A lady from the shelter spent 3 hours with “Ray” getting him some clothes. At one point, “Ray” came into the room with a starched dress shirt, coat, tie, and dress pants and he was so happy to have church clothes. Later that day a lady from Forest Hills met “Ray” and is presently working to help him find the special care that he needs. I want to say Thank You to that special angel. I have never been more proud of the volunteers and people outside of Opportunity House. Come Join the Love!!! CALVARY LUTHERAN Rejoice 8 What gifts has God placed in your life? How is God calling you to use your gifts in and through the ministries of Calvary Lutheran Church? During our fall stewardship emphasis (September 29th-November 10th), Calvary’s stewardship ministry invites you to take time with your family to prayerfully consider ALL KINDS OF GIFTS that God has placed into your lives for use in his kingdom. Use the “I Offer Myself to God” form that was mailed to your family or pick up copies in the narthex to reflect on Calvary’s ministries and how your gifts might be shared with them. Join us for a prayer Vigil on November 9th to prepare for Consecration Sunday worship. Come on November 10th to Consecration Sunday worship to offer your gifts to God’s service for 2014. CALVARY LUTHERAN Rejoice 9 Windsong Recorder Consort Presents “Music Through the Ages” Sunday October 13 McGill Baptist Church 5300 Poplar Tent Road Concord, NC 3:00 p.m. Sunday October 27 New Gilead Reformed Church 2400 Old Concord-Salisbury Road Concord, NC 3:00 p.m. Free Admission Come and hear a program of Folk Songs, Hymns, Classical and Patriotic music played on four different sized recorders. CARE AND CONCERN And Jesus said: "As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13: 34b) Calvary's Care and Concern ministry brings Jesus' command to life in our community of faith by intentionally identifying those who may need a call, card, visit, meal, or other support for life's journeys. Our next meeting will be October 28 at 7 p.m. in the church parlor. This gathering will give us time to support one another in our ministry, look for areas that we may need to reshape our ministry, and discuss our plans for 2014. All care and concern volunteers are invited to attend this meeting. As well, anyone interested in becoming involved in this ministry is welcome to join us on the 28. For more information, please contact Phyllis Jessup (704 -455-9430) or speak to Pastor Debbie. Are you new to Calvary or have you been here a while and are looking to be renewed in your life of faith? Join Pastor Debbie for “A Sense of Place in Christian Community” on Sunday, November 3, 10, 17, 24, and December 1 and 8 during Sunday School (10am -10:45am) in the fellowship hall (coffee fellowship end). We will consider these questions: 1. Why belong to Christian community anyway? 2. What is the center of Lutheranism and does this differ from other churches? 3. What does a life of discipleship look like? 4. How do I find my place in Calvary’s community of faith? The class will end with a new member reception on December 8 for those who wish to join Calvary’s community of faith. Please be in touch with Pastor Debbie if you plan to attend.

CALVARY LUTHERAN Rejoice 10 TWELVE UNLIKELY HEROES What kind of people does God use to accomplish His work? Marilyn Elaine Little (September 6, 1946 - October 9, 2013) Marilyn Elaine Little, 67 years of age, of Charlotte, passed away Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at Hunter Woods Nursing & Rehab in Charlotte. Mrs. Little was born September 26, 1946 in Pennsylvania to the late David Washington Ober, Jr. and the late Catherine Holaham Ober. She was also preceded in death by husband, David Nixon Little. The family will receive friends from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm, Sunday, October 13, at Hartsell Funeral HomeConcord.

Survivors include brother David Ober of Harrisburg, PA, step-son, Kyle Little of Mountain City, TN, and Pete Little of Mt.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: Alzheimer's Association of Western NC, 3800 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte, NC 28215 Far from the children’s tales depicted in picture books and nursery rhymes, the men and women highlighted in the Bible were unnervingly real. They faltered. They struggled. And at times, they fell short. Yet God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their strengths, or spin their stories as a display of human nobility. Instead, it describes these heroes of the faith with unflinching honesty and delivers an unexpected ending: “God is not ashamed to be called their God” (Hebrews 11:16). Join us for Sunday School beginning on Sunday, October 20 in the screen end of the Fellowship Hall.
