It's not just potluck anymore…

No Dinner Again This Week!

Snowball fight anyone?

Snowball fight anyone?

Another snow day tomorrow, April 17th!  The forecast is for maybe a foot of snow by tomorrow afternoon in Rapid City.  Today the kitchen crew at Calvary worked hard on getting food ready for the meal tomorrow night.  48 pound cakes have been baked and 200 pounds of roast beef have been roasted.  Then we got the word…no school tomorrow.  Therefore, no Wednesday school, no meal, no worship service at Calvary Lutheran Church either.  No worries!  Into the freezer it went, and we’ll thaw it out for dinner next Wednesday night.  That will be our last meal until September and the kids will be singing in worship.  We hope to see you all there.

 

The menu for April 24th, 2013 will be:

Your choice of Roast Beef, Sloppy Joes, or BBQ Pulled Chicken

Baked Potatoes

Green Bean Casserole

Dinner Rolls or Biscuits

English Trifle (a layered dessert with homemade pound cake, mixed berries, pudding and whipped cream)

Edamame Salad Recipe

03 07 13

We got lots of compliments on the Edamame Salad that we served last Wednesday, and again for the Sunday meal for the Feeding South Dakota fundraiser.   Here’s the recipe for those of you who asked for it, and if you didn’t get a chance to try it, I highly recommend it.  You can serve it as a side salad or as a dip with tortilla chips.  Shelled edamame (soybeans) can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store.  If you like it spicy, add the jalapenos or if you want a milder chili pepper taste, add some canned mild roasted green chilis.  This recipe is adapted from the cookbook Raising the Salad Bar, by Catherine Walthers.

High Fives

02 28 13

News from the kitchen for the Wednesday Evening Meal program:

  • 20 dinners prepared so far this year (September 2012 to February 2013)
  • 10,400  Total meals served
  • 520  Average # served each week
  • 640  Largest # served on December 19th
  • 270  Smallest # served on Ash Wednesday
  • $40,000 spent on groceries and kitchen supplies so far this year
  • $42,000 in donations received (Thank you!)
  • $2,800 spent from extra donations to purchase a new 2 door refrigerator (check it out in the large storage room) because we’ve been short on cold storage space
  • 145  Average # of children under 12 who attend church dinners every Wednesday

I think high fives are in order…

 

The Wednesday Meal team, along with the education staff, worship team, and the Praise Band, strives to make the Wednesday “From the Heart” program a vital part of our congregational life.  The mealtimes we share on Wednesdays are a part of the ministry, mission, and vision of the church.  Thanks for sharing it with us.  After dinner, join us for worship every week from 6:30 to 7:00pm.

 

Our Ministry

Calvary Lutheran Church, in 1994, through a process of prayer and decision by the members decided to be a shared decision/vision making, congregationally-based ministry.

Our Mission

On February 13, 1995, members of Calvary recommitted themselves to the mission and ministry of Christ that began nearly 50 years ago by adopting the following new mission statement, that remains as the mission of Calvary today:

Mindful of a need to worship and better serve Jesus Christ, the Vision for Mission of Calvary Lutheran Church commits this congregation to develop a dynamic, corporate worship; train laity to enhance small group ministry; energize mission and outreach programs; and strengthen youth and family ministry.

Our Vision

In March of 1998 the people of Calvary voted unanimously in favor of the following vision:

Maintain a strong Word and Sacrament ministry while becoming a center for youth and family enrichment.
