From the Pastors 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the
sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a
multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has
received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11
whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by
the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ. To Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
-1 Peter 4:7-11 (ESV)
“The end of all things is at hand…” From these words, Peter communicates an urgency for
Christians to live according to the command to “love one another earnestly.” Does your
faith have this urgency? Do you really expect the end to come any day? Whatever your
answer, the New Testament writers all agree: the end is near. And it’s getting nearer every
day.
Why does this matter? Because if the end is truly near, then we have good reason to
change the way we live today. People who are told they have a terminal illness live life
differently. They stop doing things which they don’t find fulfilling. Their every action is
filtered through a new lens: “If I died tomorrow, would I be happy that I am doing this
today?”
The apostles urge us to ask something similar: “If Christ returned tomorrow, would He be
happy with what He saw you doing today?” Or maybe equally important, “If Christ
returned tomorrow, would you be happy with what He found you doing today? Are we
bringing Him glory?” If kids get home from school before their parents get off work, do they
dutifully get started on homework right away? Or do they relax until right before mom and
dad get home? It depends on the kid. Do employees work harder when their boss is
around? Again, it depends on the employee. But the motivation is the same: “Let’s work
later… and enjoy ourselves now.”
This is a powerful temptation, and maybe you’ve given into it from time to time. Peter
treats it as a matter of self-control and sober-mindedness. Do we have the self-control to
restrain these temptations? Are we sober-minded enough to see the world as it really is—as
if it’s ending soon—or do we waste the precious time which has been given to us? Time
isn’t the only gift which we are encouraged to use wisely. We each have talents and
treasures as well, gifts which we are urged to use to love others and bring glory to God.
I don’t believe Peter means to scare us with these words; he wants to encourage. All
Christians are called to be responsible with their lives, because He will return soon. But we
live this way not because we fear being caught; we live this way, because we hope.
When our Lord comes again, we are promised that our work will be tested and our
sacrifices proven worthwhile (see 1 Corinthians 3). On that day, our service will truly bring
Him glory.
And this means that our lives in the present age matter. As we wait for His return, may God
richly bless your work. It may not be easy. But it is worth it. To Him belong glory and
dominion forever and ever. Amen.
God’s Peace, Pastor Josh Reifsteck

Coming this Summer! Mark Your Calendars! Calvary Women’s Bible Study
Hosea ~ Unfailing Love Changes Everything
by Jennifer Rothschild
Dates: June 4—July 16, 2019
9:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. sessions
Kristen Schwark & Jen Eisberg - Facilitators
About this Study:
The Book of Hosea is a deeply personal and passionate love story, yet it’s a difficult
story. As an account full of harsh judgment unfolds, we find in its midst a rare gem:
the truest and purest of loves. Hosea, an old-testament prophet, preached his own
life message using his marriage as the sermon illustration. This study of Hosea looks
deeply at that message. You’ll be guided to understand, but more especially to
apply, the message of the prophet of love. Hosea showers us with hope and points
to the coming of the promised Messiah. Be amazed by the love of Hosea for his
wayward spouse—and more amazed by the unfailing love of God for His wayward
people.
Save the Date—Vacation Bible School Monday, June 24—Friday, June 28 from 9:00-11:30 a.m.

8 Calvary Lutheran School News from Principal Rensner
Amazing
What amazes you? What do you need to see or experience that causes you to say, “That’s
amazing!” One thing that amazes me is that every time I hit PRINT all these dots, letters, and
illustrations can be reproduced in a matter of seconds through the printer. Computer to printer
amazes me. One would think after thousands of PRINT clicks I would get over this amazement. I am
also amazed at the brilliance of a child’s smile, the glorious sunrise and sunsets, the speed and
agility of a cheetah, the sheer elegance and grandeur of a 100 story skyscraper, Apollo 11, the span
of the Golden Gate Bridge, the 2016 World Champion Chicago Cubs, the love of family, the Grand
Canyon, and an endless list of the gifts that God has blessed me with over the years. It is truly
amazing when we stop to create a list of amazing things in our lives.
I am amazed of the love that God has for us that He would send His One and only Son to suffer and
die for sinful people. Amazed that God calls us His children and that we are heirs with Christ. I am
amazed that He never stops loving me even when I have doubts and do not fully trust Him. All this
He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For
all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him. We are able to STAND FIRM in His
amazing grace.

First Student Scholarship Awarded from Wessler Endowment
The primary purpose of Wessler Scholarship Endowment Fund for Education of LCMS
Church Workers is to provide financial aid to Calvary students, former students, and their
families in LCMS colleges, universities, pursuing a full-time church work career within the
ministry of the LCMS. The fund was established in 2018 through the generosity of Mel Wessler
and the Distribution Committee is pleased to announce that Calvary’s Youth and Family
Director Sam Troemel is the first recipient. Sam is enrolled in the LCMS Specific Ministry
Pastor which enables students to take seminary courses from a distance as they prepare
for ordination. This program was made specifically so that congregations could rise up
leaders for positions within their congregation. For Calvary, this means Sam Troemel, who is
currently serving as Youth and Family Ministry Director, is receiving pastoral training for his
involvement within Calvary’s Connect contemporary worship services.
Interested in Financial Peace University curriculum?
The Stewardship Ministry Team has heard from several members interested in participating

Have you been asked to serve or has the list of Calvary’s open volunteer positions in the
bulletin sparked your curiosity? I personally struggled for years to try and discern what
God’s calling was for me. While I was waiting to figure that out I volunteered for the
Communications Ministry Team since that is the work I did every day at my job. That just
seemed logical. Along the way Calvary started projecting the service details on a screen
and they needed helpers. That didn’t seem like much of a calling but it was something I
knew how to do. If there is something you know how to do, chances are there is a fit for
that ability somewhere in the body of the church. Have a question – connect with

Spring 2019 Update
Calvary supports a missionary couple serving in West Asia doing Bible translation work. This
couple lives in a country with no churches. Even though they live in an apartment in the
capital city, they still only have electricity about 50% of the time and lack some modern
amenities.
They have been doing well and staying pretty healthy this year, for which they're thankful.
The spring means removing coal and wood stoves and enjoying the warmer weather. It
also means picnics with friends and co-workers. Please pray for fruitful conversations during
these times of visiting.
In addition to language and culture learning, which is essential to their witness in their
personal relationships as well as their office work, they've been researching a group of
language varieties. It can be hard to imagine, but they're actually not sure how many
languages are spoken in their country! They've been transcribing data from several villages
and towns who claim the same ethnic identity and ancestry. They're trying to evaluate if
the people speak dialects of the same language or different languages altogether. This is
important because it lets them know who will need a separate Bible translation. It also helps
them know where and how to distribute these resources once they're available. Currently,
another organization is running primary schools in one of these languages. Their research
will also show them in what ways this curriculum will need to be altered for the other regions
and how much, if at all, the writing system would need to be adjusted. They're hoping to
finish this particular research project by the end of the year.
To join them in bringing God's Word to the people of West Asia, you can give
at wycliffe.org/partnerteam. Enter #242586. For security reasons, their names are not
published on our website or the Wycliffe website, but money will still get to them.

April 7, 2019 – Fifth Sunday in Lent
Psalm 126; Old Testament: Isaiah 43:16-21; Gospel: Luke 20:9-20
“Cornerstone of Salvation” - Sermon Text: Luke 20:17b - Rev. Shayne Jonker
"The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone" (Luke 20:17b). The Messiah of
Israel, Jesus, is a rejected Messiah. One of the architects and builders of Israel thought unfit
to be the cornerstone, but God sizes up the angles differently. This Jesus, born of the Virgin,
crucified and risen, reigning at the right hand of God, the One who baptizes you and
forgives you and feeds you is the rejected Rock of Israel and the Cornerstone of your
salvation.
April 14, 2019 – Palm Sunday
Psalm 118:18-29; Gospel: John 12:20-43
“A Troubled Soul” - Sermon Text: John 12:20-43 - Rev. Paul Shoemaker
Have you ever been terrified about something in your immediate future that you had to
face? Jesus did. When confronted with the cross Jesus said, "Now is my soul troubled." Learn
how Jesus dealt with His "troubled soul."
April 21, 2019 – The Resurrection of Our Lord-Easter Day
Psalm 16; Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:19-26; Gospel: Luke 24:1-12
“Where Are You Searching?” - Sermon Text: Luke 24:1-12 - Rev. William Mueller
Followers of Jesus journeyed to His tomb that Easter morning fully expecting to find a dead
body. Instead, they are met with the joyous news that Jesus was risen from the dead! The
question the Easter angels ask the women, though, penetrates our hearts and souls as well –
"Why do you look for the living among the dead?"
April 28, 2019 – Second Sunday of Easter
Psalm 148; Epistle: Revelation 1:4-8; Gospel: John 20:24-31
“Vindication!” - Sermon Text: John 20:24-31 - Rev. Dr. Thomas Ahlersmeyer
How do we bear all the unbearable things people are called to carry? Scripture is bursting
with words and actions that witness to future deliverance. "Vindication" – the validation of
all that Christians have hoped and longed for – empowers us to face challenging todays
and tomorrows.
