Financial Report Summarizing the first four months of 2016, our offering is just slightly lower than budgeted. Hopefully, with summer vacations, offering will continue to be received as planned. Expenses are slightly higher than budgeted. In March the parking lot had a small area dug up to fix the drainage issue that was causing the small lake near the Fellowship Hall. In addition, we just recently had to have the well pump replaced. Even though there hasn’t been a major campaign for additional funds, there are still open funds that members have been giving to and any member can continue to donate to. They are: Major Improvements (reserve for any ma-jor problem), Sound System (for future expansion of screens and projec-tors), Family Ministries (spent at the discretion of Director of this ministry), and the Endowment Fund. Do you purchase items from Amazon.com.? You can sign up at “smile.amazon.com” and designate Calvary Lutheran Church of Grants Pass and when you purchase selected items, Amazon will send Calvary a check equal to 0.5% of the purchase price. For all the Thrivent members who donate their “Choice” dollars to Calvary, remember that you must re-designate those funds at least once a year. Thank you to all who participate. Tired of writing checks each week, remember that you can have your offer-ing directly deposited to Calvary through the Simply Giving program (Vanco). You can have the funds automatically withdrawn from your check-ing or savings account or use your credit card (great way to earn extra points or travel mileage). Want to sign up? Contact the church office or Gary L. Blom, the church treasurer.

What Is the Side By Side Ministry?
Side by Side Ministry is a group of Calvary members who visit shut-ins, someone who has had surgery or is in a nursing home.
Pastor Dave is the ministry leader and selects the people to be visited. Also, any Calvary member can ask to have someone visit a family member or friend.
This ministry is in need of volunteers to visit our Calvary family mem-bers. There is no special training required, just a desire to visit. Side By Side has a monthly meeting, the third Tuesday of the month at 1:00 pm. How often you visit is according to your schedule and what you are able to do.
If you have any questions, you can talk to me , Joe Zimmer or Pastor Dave.

Notes from the Church Council
The congregation raised $1,200 to purchase a new basketball hoop
for the church. Karl Dinkle informed Council that he discovered the price
had increased by $300 including shipping. Council approved contributing
the shortfall from the Council line item in the budget. Family Ministry
will be responsible for any cost of installation.
Council reviewed the Outreach Committee’s recommendations for
local benevolences for the year and approved its recommendation. Organ-
izations that will be supported are ROC, Gospel Rescue Mission, Chris-
tian Service Network, Pregnancy Care Center, and Joe’s Place. St. Vin-
cent DePaul will be considered for special holiday offerings.
The following terms will expire this year: Vice President, Secretary,
Property, Stewardship, and Outreach. Please prayerfully consider being
available to fill one of these positions.
Relay For Life is June 18
A big thank you to all the people who donated and helped with the Rum-
mage Sale. We made $1084.60 over the two days and all money will go to
the American Cancer Society. Thank you to all the cookie bakers, cookie pur-
chasers, luminaria purchasers, and donators. We are halfway to our fundrais-
ing goal of $5000.00.
The next Relay for Life Calvary Lutheran team meeting will be on Sun-
day, June 5th, after the first service to talk about set up for the Relay for Life
event on June 18th. We have 13 people on our team this year to walk laps for
the Relay for Life event. Everyone in the congregation is invited to attend the
Relay for Life event on June 18th starting at 10:00 a.m. for the Survivor Walk
and/or walk a lap with the team. Relay continues all day and night until Sun-
day morning. There is a beautiful luminaria ceremony at dark to remember
loved ones who died of cancer and to celebrate our loved ones who have sur-
vived. To those who have purchased luminaria, please decorate your bags in
memory or to honor your loved one and return to the church office by Sunday,
June 5th, with a can of food to hold the bag in place. All cans of food will be
donated to the ROC this year after the Relay for Life event. Thank you all for
your support!

Christmas Bazaar! Are You Kidding?Christmas Bazaar! Are You Kidding?Christmas Bazaar! Are You Kidding?Christmas Bazaar! Are You Kidding?
Actually, No. This is the time to begin thinking of items to donate
to our annual Christmas Bazaar. Are you changing the look of your
home from Winter to Spring/Summer, we can use any item you may be
tired of that would be a good seller. Suggested items are: dishes/side
knacks, candles, etc. Anything that can be sold and given as a gift.
Cranky spouses?
Jams, jellies dilly beans chutneys or anything you preserve make
good items to sell, so set some aside for the Bazaar. Also, flavored vin-
egars and oils.
Our jewelry inventory is very low. So pieces you don’t want any
more or even broken pieces, bring them in and give to Lynn Tosh, Jan
Stutts or Sandy in the church office. Jewelry boxes sell well also.
Since storage space at the church is very limited, we ask that you
box your items and store them at your home. When pricing begins
sometime in November, you will be notified via the church bulletin
when to bring your items to the church.
Needless to say, you have our gratitude for your continuing
support, donations and prayers.

In Memory of Karen Haggard
Former Calvary member, Karen Haggard, passed away on May 5 in Corvallis, Oregon. Her family would like her friends to know, if they would like to contrib-ute in her memory, there are a couple of causes that she felt strongly about. They are Luther House, 211 NW 23rd Street, Corvallis, OR 97330 and Samar-itan Village Bus Fund, 285 NW 35th Street, Corvallis, OR 97330.
Karen volunteered with the bus committee in her retirement village to help en-sure both a means of regular transportation, and to provide meaningful social opportunities for her community. Many of her belongings were also donated to this cause.
She was also very spiritual and took great joy in the mission of the Luther House campus ministry in Corvallis.
From her daughters, Stephanie Rouse and Angela Taylor, thank you for all the stories and well wishes that you've been sharing with us.
