Consecration Sunday for Calvary Church addition

I By GLEN LONG Staff Writer The congregation of Syracuse Calvary United Methodist Church will be consecrating the new north addition on Sunday, April 17, as part of the 8:30 and 10:40 a.m. services. Harold Oechsle, superintendent of Elkhart District, will be preaching on “And That Is What You Are!” An adaptation of “Bless This House” will be sung in the 8:30 service by Dan Leismer and in the 10:40 service by the chancel choir under the direction of Robert Jones. The organist will be Barbara Bartels. The 9,000 square foot limestone covered addition was designed by Don Scearce and Associates of Warsaw. The general contractor was Ira C. Mast of Elkhart. Al Eades served as building committee chairman and Grandin Godley was capital funds chairman and the congregation’s' representative during construction. The new addition includes an air-conditioned fellowship hall that can seat up to 250 at tables and a storage area for tables and chairs when they are not in use. There is also a large kitchen with commercial size refrigerator and freezer unit, a convection oven and stove and oak cabinetry. The fellowship hall has already been used for a wedding reception and is being used two evenings a week for Christian aerobics. It has also been used for craft day and various meals and coffee hours. The first floor of the new addition also includes the pastor’s study, restrooms and three classrooms, one of which is being used Monday and Tuesday each week by Family Counseling Service of Elkhart. The second floor consists of seven classrooms and a church school supply office. Church Growth Continues The church continues to grow in programs offered and numbers of people served as well. This growth has caused the church to employ three additional parttime persons in addition to the secretary, custodian, children’s and youth choir director, chancel choir director and organist. The new persons are Shirley Goodspeed, parish visitor; Diane Whitacre, youth worker; ’and

Bibles going to Russia in 1988

The American Bible Society has reported that yet another substantial request for Bibles has come from the Soviet Union. This latest request, for 100,000 Ukrainian Bibles, comes from Metropolitan Filaret, who heads the diocese of Minsk and Byelorussia of the Russian Orthodox Church, which at last count had 425 congregations. The Bibles will go to members of these congregations. The request reached the general office of the United Bible Societies (ÜBS) in Stuttgart, West Germany. ABS, as a leading member of this global partnership of Bible societies, channels all of its distribution overseas through ÜBS. Specifications are for Bibles in two different sizes, 50,000 copies each. Import permission for this

Directors of Marketplace A.D. this year are Jackie Plikerd, Church of God; Dianne Grothaus, Calvary Church; and Kim Kathery of Rock Church. / JL SEEDS FROM JI <7 THE ”7^71 W SOWER •''' By Michael A.

shipment is available and production planning is already underway, even though there is no reserve fund in the $33 million World Service budget to finance the project. It is estimated that the cost, including shipping, will be in the region of $4 for each Bible, bringing the total cost to $400,000. Says Dr. John D. Erickson, an official of both ABS and ÜBS, “We rejoice in this new opportunity to make the printed Word of God available to our Christian sisters and brothers in the Soviet Union. We know that fellow Americans will want to help bring this about. May God be praised!" Several recent shipments of Scriptures for different churches in the Soviet Union have already arrived. This altogether amounts to greater numbers than at any time in the modern history of Bible supplies for Russia. Light of evangelism is still burning A total of 519 different people have worshipped at the Milford Christian Church since the first Sunday in September, 1987. One or more visitors have been present for 32 weeks in a row for the morning worship services. On Easter Sunday, 44 visitors joined the congregation for worship. Walk Through The Bible Some members will be attending a “Walk Through the Bible” seminar at the Warsaw Christian Church on Saturday, April 16. The six-hour seminar will cover the 4,000 years of Old Testament history. Students will learn the events of the Old Testament by a series of hand motions. Those who are interested in attending should call Dale Kuhns at 658-9151 for more information. Junior High Convention Th(T'jUnior high members of Christian Church spent last weekend, April 9-10, at the Junior High State Convention in Indianapolis. Oyer 1,200 were in attendance from Christian Churches in the State of Indiana. The youth heard three inspirational and motivating sermons from Jeff Whelling, California, and Jay Banks led the singing. A musical concert by Bryan Duncan, a Christian rock singer, was enjoyed by all. Eight students and four sponsors attended this year from the Milford church. They are already making s plans to go again next year.
