Calvary Lutheran High School would like to open its doors to international students for the upcoming school year. The only way this can happen is if we have host families willing to house the students during the school year. If you are interested, or know of someone who may be interested, please contact Mr. Engelbrecht at Calvary Lutheran High School, 681-5491.
A history-making day is quickly approaching! On June 2, 2008, Calvary will have the opportunity to secure land for its permanent site. Following the land purchase, site development and construction of our initial facility will begin. The goal is to begin the 2009-10 school year in the new facility. To meet this goal, $300,000 is currently needed to complete the land purchase. Your financial support is needed now!
The schematic design is completed and has been shared at the Open House/Information Meetings. The following are the deadlines and the costs affiliated with each of the stages through August, 2008:
As you can see, $340,000 is needed above the land purchase to cover the work that will be happening until the end August.
Please search your heart and prayerfully consider making a donation to assist in buying the land and these first stages of the building. God loves a cheerful giver!
The response to Calvary Lutheran High School’s Open House/Information Meetings has been very positive. Due to this positive response, additional meeting dates have been scheduled. The meetings are designed to inform, enlighten, and answer any questions you may have regarding Calvary’s future. The upcoming meetings, scheduled at a variety of dates and times to meet your busy schedule, are as follows:
Our prayer is that you will take this opportunity to hear our story and get excited about Calvary’s growing ministry. Please continue to pray for Calvary as we near the completion of this school year that has been richly blessed with God’s gracious gifts.
Only 30 short days remain until Calvary’s land purchase will be finalized. Are you wondering where are we at in this process and the steps that are planned after the purchase? Read on!
To date, the following goals have been accomplished: 1) Opening Calvary’s doors with a quality curriculum and dedicated faculty; 2) Assembling a highly talented, experienced, and committed Building Committee to lead the process; 3) Identification of a permanent location; 4) A conceptual plan for the building and the parcel of land (the plan is below); 5) A timeline for completing Phase I (completion of Phase I will allow classes to begin in August, 2009.) These goals have been the stepping stones to fulfilling the vision of Calvary’s permanent facility.
One major goal is to acquire the necessary funds to buy the land outright. The initial site development is well underway, but funds are necessary to move ahead to physically develop the site. According to the Building Committee, if the funds are available, the dirt work can begin immediately after the land is purchased.
It’s been said more than once, “Financial support for Calvary’s permanent location is within the area churches and the Jefferson City community,” and “When people see the plans, and know the building timeline, the financial support will happen.” Calvary is at a very pivotal point in its history. It’s in God’s hands and the hearts of His people. Please search your heart and give a gift that will provide a facility suited to assist in spreading God’s word to area high school students and families.
As we are told in Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.” A commitment has been made to build a permanent facility, and your prayers and financial assistance are requested. Please pray for Calvary that its mission and ministry will grow to God’s glory, and that His Kingdom will continue to increase.
Calvary is having their third annual Mother’s Day Flower Sale on Saturday, May 10th. This is the largest fundraiser for the Active Parent Group who supports Calvary through a multitude of student social events, field trips, academic, fine art, and athletic opportunities.
We will need some of our Calvary students, and families, to arrive by 5:30 a.m. to organize and arrange the flowers for the sale which starts at 7 a.m. Seventy percent of our sales happen between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. so we need a large number of families to be present at that time. The afternoon slows down some, but help is still needed throughout the day. We will need a final surge of help from 4:30 – 6:30 as we need to take down and clean up from the sale.
Please be sure to check out the flier for this year’s sale. We are very proud of this flier and would like you to share it with everyone who would be interested.
Everyone should wear their Calvary shirts, especially the students, as they are to mingle with the customers and offer to carry their flower purchases to their vehicles. We also need parents, grandparents, and knowledgeable green-thumbers, to answer planting questions or direct customers to someone that can answer their questions. Anyone willing to help will be most welcomed and greatly appreciated. Please remember to thank all those you come in contact with whether they purchase or not.
The leadership class will be doing a free will donation car wash in conjunction with the Flower Sale. This means we really could use all of the students all day long.
You will also find attached a number of Mother’s Day Flower Sale fliers. Please find locations to post these: dentist’s office, pediatrician’s office, place of business, church, grocery store, hair dresser… In addition, please hand some to neighbors and co-workers that would help us spread the word.
