Jesus said: When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be my witnesses . . .”
Calvary Lutheran is a place of callings. Jesus invites us to share our experience of God, our witness, out in the world through our daily living. Witness is not standing on street corners to preach at passers’ by, or asking our friends or co-workers questions like “are you saved?” Witness is our way of moving out, day by day, into God’s world to learn, care and serve in Jesus’ name. Witness is the calling of the Holy Spirit to engage and activate faith, to follow where Jesus leads and to be examples of Jesus’ love and care to all those we meet.
Some of our ways of witnessing to God’s call include volunteering and supporting:
