On Sunday, June 5 we have a very special Faith-in-Action Day that will focus on projects at Calvary.
The largest project is to get the sanctuary ready for construction which begins on Monday, June 6,
and get the Fellowship Hall and Lounge ready for temporary summer worship. We have several other
projects too, so everyone should find something they like to do. A congregational picnic lunch will cap
off the event at 11:30 AM.

WORSHIP
“Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.”
Psalm 150:6
CONTINUE TO ENTER THE BIBLE
This summer, we won’t
be following the “narrative
lectionary” that we’ve been
using on Sundays from
fall through spring, though
we’ll start up with it again in
September. Instead, we’ll have
an assortment of readings that
get us looking at Lutheran basics, the connection between
faith and service, and the book of 2 Corinthians. On June 5,
we’ll hear from Romans 12:9-21 as we roll up our sleeves for
an in-house faith in action day (clearing out our sanctuary for
our renovation work); on the 12th, we’ll hear 2 Corinthians 1:111, which speaks of suffering and consolation; on the 19th,
we’ll read 2 Corinthians 2:1-10, which addresses pain and
forgiveness; and on the 26th, we’ll look at 2 Corinthians 4:115, which gives us the beautiful image of having “treasure in
clay jars.”

BAPTISMAL FESTIVAL
Our next baptismal festival will be held in August at Lake
Andrusia. If you need more information or are interested in
baptism for yourself or your child at Calvary during the summer
months, please contact Erin in the church office: 751-1893.
MEN IN BOATS
NEW MEMBER EVENTS
If you or others you know are interested in learning about
membership, please come to one of our new member
orientation sessions. If you would like to serve on the new
member ministry team or as a new member sponsor, please
contact Pr. Andrew.
Prospective new members are asked to attend a one-time,
one-hour orientation to meet others and learn about Calvary.
New Member Orientation will be held at Calvary Lutheran
Church. Calvary’s next new member orientation classes will
be held in September and October.
Following the orientation, new members affirm their faith and
are welcomed during Sunday morning worship services. The
next New Member Sunday will take place on October 23, 2016.
Join us for Men in Boats, a Christian men’s event located on one of
Minnesota’s top fisheries, Lake Andrusia, and the entire Cass Lake
chain of lakes, near Bemidji, MN. With a focus on enjoying God’s
outdoor creation, and growing in relation to Him. Men in Boats is in
its second year in the Bemidji area. The event will take place June
3-5, 2016 at Camp Minne-Wa-Kan, on the shores of Lake Andrusia.
All men of any age are welcome at Men in Boats, regardless of where
they may be in their faith journey. The combination of fellowship,
faith, friends, and fishing brings everyone closer to God’s plan for us
as Christian men.
The $110 per person event fee includes the meals on Friday
evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning, the lodging at the
camp, and a Men in Boats T-shirt. Registration forms can be printed
from the First Lutheran Church website (www.flcbemidji.org). For
more information, please contact Bob Zarrett by email at zarrett@
paulbunyan.net or by phone at 218-751-1606.
For more information, please contact Pastor Andrew or Erin in
the church office.

GIVING
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to
give, ... for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
MONTHLY MISSION PARTNER
ART SALE FOR CAPITAL APPEAL
Calvary continues to support Peoples Church of Bemidji. This local
ELCA congregation does critical ministry with people experiencing
poverty, Native Americans, and others, with the leadership of Pr. Bob
Kelly and Deacon Julia Plum. A second ministry site for Peoples
Church is in progress in Cass Lake. Thank you for your partnership!
Calvary member Ann Peterson has generously donated
dozens of her original paintings to Calvary to raise funds for
the Bridge capital appeal. These paintings will be for sale in
the church lounge from June 5-July 24, the period when we’ll
be out of the sanctuary due to renovation work. These framed
water color and oil paintings will all be available for $75 or
above. Take one (or more) home and help us get closer to
our goals for debt reduction and facility improvement funds.
Partnership is more than money! This month, we invite you to
worship at Peoples Church. Their building is located at 824 America
Ave. NW, and they gather at noon for a feast, followed by worship
and prayer at 1:00 PM. The people of the congregation also have
these needs: fishing tackle; kitchen basics; good tools; pine cones;
running vehicles; and mirrors.
While we will take a second offering one Sunday per month (June
12), you are encouraged to give thoughout the month to our partners.
We are asking that ALL checks be made out to Calvary Lutheran.
In the memo line, write our mission partner for the month. This will
help with better record keeping.
In May, Calvary received a $17.26 donation from the
Amazon Smile Foundation. This was based on purchases
made by people using the website from January 1 through
March 31, 2016.
When you shop at AmazonSmile, Amazon donates 0.5% of
the purchase price to Calvary Lutheran Church. Bookmark
the link http://smile.amazon.com/ch/41-0872489 and
support us every time you shop!

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT UPDATE
We are so excited about the property improvement project
moving forward! Things are already happening almost daily, but
the big, intense part of the project starts on June 6. The projects
in the sanctuary will give it fresh, clean look while making it a
better place for worship.
Here are the projects in a bit more detail. The sanctuary space
will be acoustically brightened by installing sheet rock on the
walls surrounding the screens and putting a commercial vinyl
tile floor on the altar/music area. New speakers will be installed
and positioned for the best sound in the whole room. The organ
speakers will come out from their hiding spot to improve the
sound of the organ, too.
THE BRIDGE
Join us on
THE BRIDGE
to New Life in Ministry
The room lighting and stage lighting will be improved with the
use of LED fixtures. Fresh carpet and pew upholstery fabric will
be installed. The ceiling and walls will be cleaned and wood
surfaces oiled. Both the fellowship hall and sanctuary will have
high quality, energy efficient windows installed.
When the project is complete the sanctuary and fellowship hall
will look as clean, bright and modern as the new sections of the
building that were built in 2009! You will get your first chance to
see the sanctuary on Sunday, July 24, when we move back into
the sanctuary.
The property improvement ministry team has been working
hard to make thoughtful, long-term decisions that will improve
the worship and relational value of the sanctuary, lounge and
fellowship hall. We hope that you are as excited by these
updates as we are!
Thank you to the property team for all their hard work so far and
for all those who have pledged and are giving to The Bridge
capital appeal. These efforts are making it possible for these
needed and wonderful improvements to happen!
Many thanks to everyone that participated in the April 24, Pie Day
celebration at Calvary! Between pie sales and fellowship, we
raised over $2,000 for the Bridge Captial Appeal! Special thank
you to everyone that donated pies, the Property Improvement
Team, Bridge Team, and Foundation for serving, and Mel Luepke
for being the auctioneer in pie sales. This was a great day to
celebrate all of the upcoming projects and progress that has
already been made at Calvary! Thank you to everyone for being
pieces of our church pie!

The Calvary Crafters will be meeting once-a-month during
the summer to see one another, catch up on our activities,
and craft. The first meeting will be Monday, June 6 at 12:00
(noon) at Lueken’s North, in the Fireside Room.
We will try to stick to the first Monday of July and August
for the summer. We may try other locations as the weather
permits (thinking of a park or outdoor setting and picnic) but
we will update as time gets closer.
We have had a very successful year of crafting since last
fall with many contributions given by you to our community
and beyond. Newborn infants have received hats and flannel
blankets, chemo patients have been given warm and colorful
hats to wear, Prayer Shawls have comforted and warmed
individuals experiencing loss or illness, Prayer Scarves
were showered on Calvary’s graduating Senior High School
students to remind them of our love, and many individuals
from our community received hats, scarves and mittens to
keep them warm throughout our cold winter. (Remember our
tree in the back entry way?) Thank you very much for your
contributions to this effort!
Want to be a part of the Crafters group? Join us, June 6th at
noon at Lueken’s North, in the Fireside Room, or contact the
church office to get connected with a member of the Calvary
Crafters.
PRESCHOOL MINISTRY UPDATE
We have been learning about home, city, and state and how we
fit into our world. We are also reviewing our letters and numbers
we have learned this year. How we pray is our faith time
focus. Prayer is conversation with God. We can pray anytime,
anywhere and any way! At bedtime, in the morning; in our bed,
in the car; whispering or singing! God hears our prayers!
SUNDAY SCHOOL
A HUGE thank you to all the teachers, helpers and families
who gave their time, energy and compassion in making Sunday
school a transformational event this year! Sunday school lays the
groundwork for a trusting relationship with Jesus.
The preschool will graduate 43 kids that are heading off to
kindergarten next fall! We will miss them but are excited about
welcoming kids next fall—some returning students, some new
and some are siblings of past students! The preschool is full for
next fall and we have a waiting list for all of our classes.
Sunday school families, we encourage you to stay connected over
the summer through worship, service events and practicing the
faith in the home, car, vacation spots and more. One way to do so
is to utilize the “4 keys” 1. Caring Conversations (a high and a low for the day)
2. Devotions (Pick a text from the bible or use a daily devotional)
3. Service (signup as a family to serve at a non-profit)
4. Rituals/Traditions/Prayers (pray together before meals,
bedtime, or long road trips)
If you would like more information about these 4 Keys and how
your family could utilize them, please talk with Pastor Nate!
STATEMENTS OF FAITH
Starting on May 29, our 8th grade students will be sharing their
statements of faith in Sunday and Wednesday worship. Please
join us as we hear what God is up to in the lives of our 8th graders.
HIGH SCHOOL
CLUB continues in the summer! We will be meeting at different
homes and locations throughout the summer to fellowship, have
fun, and grow in faith. Watch the church calendar, Calvary Youth
FaceBook page, and your texts about dates and locations. If you
would like to receive text messages about upcoming Senior High
events or if you would like to host a summer Wednesday night
event, please contact Pastor Nate.
June 1 – Mission Trip Meeting 7:30 PM, fellowship hall
June 8, 22 – Possible CLUB nights at homes. Stay tuned for
details!
2016 MISSION TRIPS
This summer over 55 high school and middle school youth will be
participating in short-term mission trips. Our middle school youth
will be traveling to Green Bay, WI June 12-17 and our Senior High
youth will be traveling to Benton Harbor, MI July 16-23. Please
join us at the 8:15 AM worship service on June 12 to send off our
Middle School missionaries, and join us Wednesday, July 13 at our
6:30 PM worship service to send off our Senior High missionaries!
We thank the staff and congregation for their continued support
as we empower our students to be faithful disciples and
academic leaders!
All Sunday school youth 3
years old through 6th grade are
invited to join us for Vacation
Bible School (VBS)! It will be at
Calvary the week of August 1-5
and be led by Pathways Bible
Camp and Calvary staff. It will
be a fun and growth-filled week.
Look for more information and a
sign-up coming soon!
SUMMER CHILD CARE
The weather has given us hints that warmer weather will arrive, so
wanted to let you know about an option for kids 3 years old—10
years old (entering 5th grade). Calvary Lutheran is again offering
child care camps for the summer months. They will begin on June
6 and end August 26. Hours are 7:30 AM—5:30 PM with a brown
bag lunch from home. Cost is $26.00 per day or $5.00/hour up to
5 hours. Brochures and registration forms are available in the wall
rack by the preschool area, in the church office, and online at www.

A big thank you goes to the Calvary Lutheran folks for their
generous contribution to the March Food Share campaign, raising
a total of $3,797.77 during this very important fund raiser. Money
raised in March is needed to sustain the Bemidji Community Food
Shelf through the summer and well into the fall.
to honor a loved one or event
We also want to thank all the people who donate their time working
a shift at the Food Shelf on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every
month. A special thank you goes to Lorraine Sauer for calling
to fill these shifts and training new volunteers. These gifts are
examples of how we live out our mission and vision statements to
give generously and serve others.
We invite you to sponsor worship in honor of your loved one or
event! We will include your event or loved one as part of the prayers
of the church, in the announcements, the newsletter, enews and
Power Points! The $50 sponsorship donations go to offset costs
associated with worship. Sign up on the fellowship doors.
If you would like to be involved in this rewarding ministry, please
leave your name and phone number at the church office and you
will be put on the call list. ~ Bemidji Food Shelf
June Worship Sponsors:
Without the help of numerous congregation
members and volunteers, our school year
activities would not be possible. There are
so many people who volunteer their time
to help at Calvary and with our youth that
naming everyone is a huge challenge. Know
that your time is genuinely appreciated and
felt by everyone. Thank you for all that you
do to help Calvary thrive!

ADVANCED CARE PLANNING
On Wednesday, May 18, Rev. Mark Papke-Larson
led a presentation on Advanced Care Planning. The
information provided gave thought provoking ideas on
how to make each individual’s wishes known, before
they are placed in the position of not being able to
speak for themselves in a medical setting. Because
of the valuable information provided, Calvary may
have another presentation in the near future. If you
are interested in being a part of the next presentation,
please contact the church office to be put on a call list
when the next date becomes available. Thank you
to Rev. Mark Papke-Larson for giving an excellent
presentation and providing an opportunity to start the
conversations!
