TUTORING MINISTRY - Helping Your Child Succeed in School
Avoid comparing your children. Each child is unique. Some children learn faster than
others. If your children seem to be moving at a slow rate, don’t blame them or worry
them about it. It’s too early to make comparisons anyway, for your children may have an
as-yet untapped reserve of attributes and talents. Let them know you love them for what
they are and that you will continue to love them no matter how they do in school.
TUTORING -TUESDAYS AND SATURDAYS
We need your help! School is now open, and we continue to make a difference in the
education of our youth as we teach the Next Generation, one student at a time. Will you
help us?
Our students are usually in grades 2 – 7, and they need help with reading and math
homework. We tutor in the Mt. Calvary Church Library each Tuesday (7:00–9:00 p.m.)

FROM THE EVANGELISM MINISTRY
This week we will complete pointing out the differences between a Church with a Missional
Mindset vs. one with a Maintenance Mindset. Let us remember the key distinction between
the Missional and the Maintenance Mindset: The first look to thrive while the second is happy
to survive. In the life of the Church, we see a Missional Mindset at work in teams to make
disciples as they operate in complement to their personalities. Missional Churches attempt to
embrace situations and see their potential, while acknowledging the difficulty they represent.
Personal involvement is high.
The question still posed to Mount Calvary: "Do we have a missional or maintenance mindset?"
Characteristics of Missional vs. Maintenance
Missional Mindset
 Sees problems as opportunities for
their faith
Maintenance Mindset
Sees problems as obstacles to
their faith
 Relies on the Lord, "God can do this"
Relies on themselves "we have
to do this"
 Releases, "How much can we
give?" (It's all God's)
Hoards, "How much can we keep?"
(It's all ours)
 Force Mentality: Change Agent
Fortress Mentality: Status Quo
 Loves and serves others
Loved and Serves themselves
 Simply put: a help to the Gospel
Simply put: a hindrance to the
Gospel
"Having a form of godliness, but
denying its power."
(2 Timothy 3:5)
 "Can do all things through Christ
who makes it happen."
(Philippians 4:13)
You are invited to attend the next Evangelism Ministry Meeting on Thursday, March 24,
2011, at 7 p.m., as we sharpen our evangelistic skills.
COUNSELING MINISTRY
Christ’s Unconditional (Love) Relationship With Us – His Creation
Sponsor: Counseling Ministry
This is the second of a series of articles which focuses on RELATIONSHIPS. Each article
will address relationships from a biblical perspective.
Unconditional love can simply be characterized as having a relationship with someone with
no conditions or expectations for a return. God demonstrated that kind of love for us, His
Creation, in that while we were yet sinners He gave His life for His Creation – Us (Romans
5:8). God through His Son Jesus Christ perpetually loves us with no strings attached. This
love is often referred to as “who so ever love” (John 3:16).
We experience Christ’s unconditional love when He demonstrates patience with us when
we repeatedly show unfaithfulness toward Him and each other (1 Corinthians 13:4). Even
in our unfaithfulness, Christ keeps no records that will be used as conditions for future
blessings (1 Corinthians 13:5). As Christ forgives us for our shortcomings towards Him, we
must emulate this characteristic in our relationship towards each other.
God’s Word contains numerous examples of Christ looking upon His Creation with
unconditional love. Generation after generation, from Old Testament through New
Testament to 2011 we have been unfaithful towards Christ and each other; but Christ has
consistently demonstrated unconditional love.
