Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the LORD,
all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come into His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is He that made us,
and we are His;
we are His people,
and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving,
and His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him,
bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His steadfast love endures for ever.
and His faithfulness to all generations.
Thanksgiving:
….more than turkeys, pilgrims,
parades, football games, and
pumpkins….
….more than the day before
Black Friday for the start of
Christmas shopping….
….more than a momentary
glance God-ward and nod of the
head to say “thank-you”….
Thanksgiving:
….the essence of the heart of
the faithful acknowledging the
source and creator of all
things….
….the attitude of constant
awareness of the divine presence and blessing….
….a time to move beyond ourselves, to pause from the frantic
pace of our lives, and to bow in
humble gratitude for amazing
grace and wondrous love….
We need your help! For many years, Sunday morning foot races in Annapolis have caused difficulty for
church-goers in terms of closed streets, inaccessibility to worship, and re-routed traffic. After extensive
conversations with former Mayor Cohen two years
ago, Sunday races were no longer allowed (with the
exception of the A-10 race in August) and were rescheduled for Saturday mornings. Recent developments in the current mayor’s office have a race
scheduled for Sunday, November 2 beginning at 9
am, and a review of Sunday foot race scheduling.
The mayor needs to hear from Calvary Church that
such races should not be permitted or scheduled.
Dr. Amy Richter, rector at St. Anne’s Episcopal
Church, and I met with the mayor recently about
this issue, and now we are asking our congregations
to write him about this.

Suggested text of letter:
These are the days when our hearts and minds take
on an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude. It’s a
holiday that continues to be my favorite holiday because I am not consumed with putting up turkey
trees and sending out turkey cards and wrapping
turkey presents, but am able to simply spend time
around a bountiful table with my family and bask in
the goodness and blessings of my life. I am able to
simply reflect and remember that I am richly filled
with good food, good family and friends, good
church and faith, good health, and good stuff that is
neither guaranteed nor assumed in this life, and
many are neither as fortunate nor grateful. I am
able to simply pause and turn God-ward in humble
thanksgiving. That is the core and foundation of the
holiday, and while gratitude God-ward is supposed
to be a constant and consistent attitude and behavior, this day makes it ever-more powerful and focused. There is so much blessing. And I intend to
remember who and whose I am in the midst of it,
and remember those who are not as fortunate or
filled, and yet still are in the care and love of God. I
hope and pray you will too.
The rhythm of autumn leaves, shorter days and
longer nights, cooler temperatures, and socks and

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
It is difficult to find the words to thank everyone for all the
wonderful ways that you have helped my recovery from hip
replacement surgery followed by emergency stomach surgery four days later. Each day I am gaining my strength and
mobility. Being able to attend Church for the first time since
August and join Calvary members and all Christians for
World Wide Communion Sunday on October 5 was heart
warming. All the meals that were prepared and delivered to
my family for several weeks I can't say thank you enough.
They were delicious and with family members at our house
a lot during my hospital and Spa Creek stay, it was such a big
help. The many flowers, cards, and visits from Pastor Chip
and Pastor Mernie and friends meant so very much to me.
Abundance of thank you’s and may God bless each and
every one of you.

COMMITMENT SUNDAY
“Making it Personal”
Commitment Sunday is Coming
Welcome!
You are invited to a very special day in the life of Calvary United Methodist Church. On
Sunday, November 16, 2014
we will worship together, celebrate together, and explore ways we are called into a closer relationship
with Jesus Christ, our Church, and each other. In the Gospel of John 15: 9-12, Jesus calls us into a personal relationship with Him, and God,
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you: abide in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,
just as I have kept my Fathers commandments and abide in His love.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you,
and your joy may be full!
Wow! The fullness of our joy is what Jesus desires for us. Calvary UMC enables us to embrace and embody this personal relationship in Christ in so many joyful ways through…
*
*
*
*
Powerful worship, including personal baptisms, weddings, funerals, holy communions
Intimate study groups including Bible classes, Sunday School, Disciple, youth and children studies
Relationship building groups for individuals, couples, and families
Personal experience settings like Winter Relief, ASP, Guatemala Mission, Lighthouse Shelter,
Habitat builds, cookie bakes for midshipmen…
The list goes on and on in ways that make our faith journey with Christ come alive, become meaningful,
and yes, very personal.
On Sunday, November 16, we will have the opportunity to fill out, and turn in, a “Making it Personal”
affirmation card. This card will be our “YES” to being a vital and significant participant in this personal
ministry for Christ, known as Calvary UMC. We do, and we will, joyfully experience, encourage, and
participate with our prayer, our being present, our financial gifts, our faithful witness, and our active
service to the life and joy of our congregation!
So come join us on Sunday, November 16, 2014 to worship in the fullness of Christ’s joy as we gather in
“Making it Personal.”

MISSIONS
Once a year the Missions Ministry Team has the privilege and responsibility of disbursing the Endowment Funds.
We base our distribution of giving on Acts 1:8b: “You will bear witness for me in Jerusalem, all over Juda and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
We try to balance needs between those of our local community, the United States, and the rest of the world. Our
giving this year centered on people living is areas of conflict, health issues and the UMM shower trailer.
We are always interested in other areas that we can serve. If you have any suggestions for 2015 contact Claudette
Cozad (410-757-8297) or Jane Frantzich (410-721-7344).
Always in His Love,
Claudette Cozad

AUDIO VISUAL FUNDRAISING
AUDIO VISUAL UPGRADE PROJECT FOR THE SANCTUARY
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
As some of you may know, we have just recently started a fundraising campaign to provide the financial resources to upgrade the sound system and to add video capabilities to our sanctuary. This will better support all
the events in our sanctuary including worship services, weddings, vacation bible school, funerals, musical
events, and other special events. Everyone in our congregation will benefit from this enhancement to our sanctuary. We have received a significant matching pledge of $10,000 for this purpose, but we must raise an equal
amount before that pledge is given. Those two amounts will give us about one-third of the total funds needed.
We have also received pledges from other members, but we still need to raise a large amount to reach our
goal. Please pray and consider being a part of this exciting project by giving generously. If everyone contributes, we will be able to reach our goal quickly. The details of the upgrade have been in place for a few months
now, and several information sessions have been advertised and given. If you would like to know more about
exactly what will be done, please call me at 443-995-0606 . Gifts can be given in many ways. Checks with A/V
Upgrade in the memo line can be placed in the offering or mailed to the church. Credit card gifts can be made
online through Calvary's website by selecting the "A/V Upgrade" fund. There are additional ways to give as
well, and I would be happy to discuss this with you.
Thank you for your support,
Nelson Gardner,
Chair-A/V Fundraising Team
DID YOU KNOW?
Your associate pastor asks, "Did You Know...?"
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)
When we hear that we should have the same attitudes as Jesus, the instruction seems clear. There is more than
one way, however, people try to accomplish this. First, we can try to imitate Christ and conform to His holy ways.
Second, we can let our actions towards one another stem from what we have already experienced in Jesus Christ.
There is a subtle nuance between these two ways, yet the nuance makes a big difference. The first focuses on our
actions, while the second shifts the focus to God’s preliminary action in us. If we endeavor to imitate Christ in our
thoughts and behavior, then the spotlight is on what we are doing. If our behavior is a result of God at work in us,
enabling our conduct to be renewed and transformed by Christ, then the spotlight is on what God does in, for, and
through us.
Think of the difference it makes in the way we relate to others. Think of the difference it makes in the way groups
act in society. Think of the difference it makes in the way our nation relates to the world. In a world full of hurt
and pain, we need to “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus” so that our actions towards one another arise out of
our experience of His love and not something else. It is how we will move toward greater unity.
Peace and joy,
Mernie

MUSIC & ARTS
Upcoming events:
The Calvary and Chancel Choirs will present Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem on Sunday, November 2 at the 8:45 and 11:15 services. This musical work uses excerpts of the traditional Latin Requiem texts to create a peaceful and hopeful musical prayer for those
who have made the Great Transition.
The Claire College Choir, a choral group from Cambridge, England known internationally as one of the leading college choirs in the world, will be performing a concert
here on Sunday, December 7. We are in need of host families who can put them up for one night and transport them to and from the church. We also need folks to assist with providing a Sunday evening meal, and a
team who can get pre-ordered lunches on Sunday. If you can help in any of these ways, please contact Stan
Livengood at [email protected]. Let’s show these visiting foreigners how wonderful our hospitality is!
Our Music and Arts Ministry is a broad program area that enhances our worship of God and involves dozens of
Calvary members. What are ways in which you can support our Music and Arts Ministry?
*Share your talent with the church, if God has blessed you in this way. We have vocal and instrumental
ensembles, a dance group, and a drama group, plus ways for visual artists to use their gifts. We especially need handbell ringers right now.
*Attend concerts and special worship programs. Our Concert Series is growing our reputation as a
place for regional and touring groups to give excellent performances, and this fall we’ll host an international choir. This is a great outreach and draws many from the community. Do you also attend these?
(Be sure to pick up our season brochure in the main lobby, designed by Leah Livengood.) Our own
choirs also sing well-prepared, beautiful music in special services throughout the year, such as our Good
Friday service and Advent Lessons and Carols. Our primary audience is God, but it is also encouraging
when we have good attendance and support from you.
*Bring your children or grandchildren to participate in our Sunday evening Disciple Ship program
(formerly M&Ms), that includes two children’s choirs from grades K-5.
*Contribute monetarily above your regular church giving. We have a fund for music gifts as well as one
for the Calvary Concert Series. As the Concert Series seeks to raise the level of excellence and advertise
more, it needs a stronger foundation.
*Serve as an usher or assist with a reception for our concerts.
*Thank the participants in our ministry, who have freely offered their time and talent to the glory of
God.

Did You Recognize God?!
October 12 was Children’s Sabbath. Calvary’s children
happily and proudly joined in serving at all three worship
services. They greeted members and visitors, they sang
and motioned two songs, they received the offering,
and shared God’s Word as they read the Scripture for
the day. It was a “big deal” to the children and they
were excited to be helping out. Our many thanks to
those adults who helped us in learning how to be the
hands, feet, and word of God as we served Him in a worship service. Your gentleness, your patience, and your
joy encouraged and shaped us. We saw God in you and we hope you saw God in us!

ABUNDANT BLESSINGS

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
The speaker that we had on October 6 was very good and informative on the subject of
"Human Trafficking". We learned that it is very bad in our local area of Baltimore and
Washington, not excluding Anne Arundel County either. We also learned that Maryland
does not have adequate laws to deal with this social issue, and we must address this to
our state legislators. For more information you may contact the Maryland Rescue and
Restore Coalition or check on the web. Their site is: http://marylandcoalition.org. It seemed that Maryland has
many problems with this matter.
"Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to
good works and acts of charity." Acts 9:36
The United Methodist Women work within the Social Principles of the United Methodist Church. The Social
Principles have their grounding in the "Book of Discipline". One of the historic principles of our organization has
been human rights for all people. This is based upon the belief that God is the creator of all races and we are all
God's children. Therefore, opportunities for fellowship and service, personal growth, and freedom in every aspect of life are inherent rights of everyone. The United Methodist Women have tried to build a community and
social order without racial barriers.
The United Methodist Women have worked on social policies in the subject areas of: literacy, basic human
rights; economic justice; domestic violence and sexual abuse; human trafficking; call to end world hunger/
Poverty; Drug Crisis; Homelessness in the US. All of these areas relate directly to concerns of women, children
and youth. Therefore we transform our words into action. These remain ongoing issues of the UMW.
Continue to check the Fall Boutique on November Sundays, the pecans will be here on November 9 in the Fellowship Hall between services.
November is "World Thank Offering" month and we will have a combined effort with the children in the Sunday evening programs to collect this offering.
Our groups continue to meet monthly: Friendship Circle meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7 pm and
Harmony Circle meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 1 pm.
Blessings,
Colette Stevenson
The Women's Retreat has returned!

or ([email protected] ) or Dave Born ([email protected]) or 443-421-0832 to sign up.
Golf Outing & Annual Fall BBQ
Tuesday, October 21 was a very special day as the morning featured golf at Queenstown Country Club in
Queenstown, MD on their River course, and the evening was the annual fall BBQ gathering. We had three
speakers: Nancy Mills, our Director of Discipleship; Christie Little, our Director of Children’s Ministries; and
Sarah Lanzi, our Director of Youth Ministries who told us a little about themselves, their vision for their position, and how the UMM can help. Although further details are unavailable as we go to press, results of both
events will be forthcoming.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from the UMM!
God Bless,
Dave Myers
