Welcome to Calvary  Lutheran Church

Pastor’s Keyboard’s Clicking

We recognize the season of Lent as a time to dedicate ourselves to self-introspection, for simplifying our lives, and centering on the focus our faith provides. It is a season that is involved in preparation for the most important day on the Christian calendar – Easter. Easter is the day of triumph of life over death. It is the day that makes known that Jesus’ life is the acceptable model for our own living. We have the promise that His Spirit will fill us, enabling us to use the gifts we have been given so we can be all that we are meant to be. There are a number of people who have made special contributions to our Christian heritage. They have found the fortitude and taken up opportunities to follow Jesus with the gifts they have.

For many, the church has set aside a day commemorating what they contributed. We do not know all that much about most of these people and have never heard of their day. I thought I would share a few of those individuals with you who a date meant to provide them tribute from the church.

March 1 – George Herbert
In 1630 he was ordained as a priest and served the parish of St. Andrew Bremerton throughout his ministry. He is remembered as a writer of poems and hymns, such as: “Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life” and “The King of Love My Shepherd Is.”

March 7 – Perpetua and Felicity
These two women were catechumens at Carthage in North Africa. In 202 the emperor Septimius Severus forbade conversions to Christianity. Perpetua, a noblewoman and Felicity, a female slave were imprisoned and sentenced to death.

March 17 – Patrick (This guy you know!)
Patrick went to Ireland to serve as a bishop and missionary. He came from Britain, making many journeys to spread God’s Word.

March 22 – Jonathan Edwards
He was a minister in Connecticut and was considered one of the greatest of New England’s Puritan preachers. He became president of the College of New Jersey which later became known as Princeton University.

That’s probably enough history. For now just consider what good you can do this March.
