2024 Calvary Christmas Gifts

Sunday, November 24, 2024

Hi, Everyone,

Happy Holidays!

It is again my pleasure to ask each of you, to pray and to give thought to Christmas gifts for Fr Mike and for our staff, Valerie Budach (our office manager) Ross Neir (Director of Youth Christian Education and Development), Mark Kline, our Interim Organist, and Phil Prior, our Sexton.

As we did last year, while your gift is not tax-deductible, you can make your checks to Calvary Special Funds and mark on them Christmas Gift for—then please add the name(s) and amount(s) of your Christmas Gift(s).

You can give to whomever you want.  They will receive a check from the parish, letting them know that this gift is a donation from parishioners.  (Basically, for the recipients, the donations are anonymous.)

It is very important for you to let us know what amount to give to each person you wish to give to, by name.  For example—“Christmas Gift’—For Fr Mike $XXX.XX, For Mark Kline $XXX.XX, For Valerie Budach $XXX.XX, for Ross Neir $XXX.XX , for Phil Prior $XXX.XX (You fill in the amounts for each one.)

Fr Mike has greatly appreciated the generous Christmas gifts from the parish over the past several years. We want to continue to add our staff members to the giving list. 

We would like to give them their Christmas Gifts before Christmas. I know this is relatively short notice and please do what you can to get your gift to the Church Office by December 15^h. You can give the cash or money to me at the church or send an envelope to Calvary Special Funds, marked Christmas Gifts.  Please include the same note about who is to receive what amount with any cash donation(s) as well.  Mark the envelope for cash or checks with Calvary Special Funds.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.  I wish you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season and hope to see you at Calvary or on Zoom very soon.

Yours in Christ,

Joel Montgomery
