A Message from Your Stewardship Committee
 
As we enter the last week of Stewardship Season, we encourage you to prepare your financial gift commitment card which you may submit by regular mail, by email here, or in person at Giving Sunday, November 21st.  Thank you for beginning or continuing to be a financial supporter of our Church, as many of you have done generously for years. Together, we can continue the work of our Church which gives us a place to worship together, grow as individuals and families, and serve as Christ’s heart, hands, and feet so others will know Jesus Christ and His gift to us.

Warm Clothing Needed

For most of us, the recent change in weather hasn't been a cause for concern, as we dig out the winter clothes from the back of our closet, or go to the store to buy new items. But for many, who may sleep outside or don't have the funds for new clothing, the low temperatures can be a real hardship. 

McKinsey's Closet at Calvary UMC is in desperate need of winter clothing donations. They are specifically looking for:
- Men's & women's winter coats, all sizes
- Men's shoes, especially tennis shoes
- Men's clothing, especially pants in sizes 32-36
- Men's & women's underwear, all sizes

They receive donations on Monday mornings from 8:30 to 11:00 AM and on Wednesdays or other days by appointment, at Calvary UMC at 218 Ausley Rd. Tallahassee FL 32304
Call Bob McSmith at (850) 576-4066 or Pastor Bill Petersen at (850) 510-7759 to set up a time for drop-off.

Calling All 4th-12th Graders! Acolytes Needed!

We are eager to get our Acolyte program back up and running, and we need YOU! What is an acolyte you might ask? Well, they are children and youth that serve during the worship service by lighting and extinguishing the candles at the start and finish of worship. They are responsible for bringing the light of God into our worship space, and then carrying it out into the world. Our congregation loves to see our children and youth involved in worship, and this is a very special way to do so. Interested in learning more? Please contact Allison Corrigan (acorrigan@tumct.org) or Lisa Prasse (lprasse@tumct.org).
