Adults > Calvert Partnership
Several years ago, our church formed a partnership with three other churches in the North Hills to keep the community service of Calvert Memorial Presbyterian Church in Etna alive. Calvert's budget was below a thousand dollars and the future was uncertain. Since that time, with the help of the partnership, Calvert Church has not only continued to keep those outreach programs alive, but has added to them.
P.J. Pfeuffer is serving as their part-time pastor (20 hours a week). He has done a great job of connecting with the congregation, leads a well-attended Bible study, is a presence at the Food Pantry, and is very involved with the children's programs. He is awesome with the children, being able to have fun with them but help maintain discipline. And he never forgets to portray the love of Christ.
Tor Voller and Eve Schaefer work with the children in five different programs. They continue to grow these programs with enthusiasm. Shirley Voller serves as clerk, secretary, and anything else that needs doing.
Take a look at some of the programs that Calvert does with hard work, perseverance, and help from you:
Church Programs: Sunday worship Sunday School Bible Study Sunday Evening Teen Group Drama Club Monday Kids Klub Vacation Bible School Sending 5 campers to Camp Crestfield |
Community Programs: Bread of Life Food Pantry NA and AA Daisies (future Girl Scouts) |
The members of Calvert have worked very hard to keep these programs. They are grateful for the help from the partnership churches. However, they strive to help themselves. They have held spaghetti dinners, breakfast with Santa and sold Tupperware and candles to help their budget.
Thank you for your monetary support, craft items, physical help with painting, etc. and the meals for Kids Klub. I ask for your continued support of this mission.
If you have any questions about the partnership or ways you can get involved, please give me a call at 412-576-8508 or drop me an .
Yours in Christ,
