A Shift To Fewer But More Purposeful Trips One positive effect of being stuck at home is that it’s forced us to recalibrate our intentions around travel. More travelers have become more purposeful with their future trips, and Spring Forward many have embraced slow and thoughtful travel. Collectors of credit card points and airline miles are saving up for a trip of a lifetime, and Virtuoso has seen an increase in bigger-ticket bookings, including bucket-list and dream trips. “There’s definitely been more demand “Hospitality has been decimated,” recently, as there’s been pent-up emotion,” Herrera said.

  • Why Challenge?
    I get it. It’s a summer trip - WHY CHALLENGE? We love Challenge, and it’s as simple as this: God uses Challenge to change lives. Challenge takes students beyond a mountaintop moment, and equips them to live life on mission for Christ. If you talk to students who have been on a Challenge trip, you’ll hear stories like this: “At Challenge this week I met new awesome friends, grew closer to others, and was challenged to always show God’s love to others, even when it’s scary, uncomfortable, or I just don’t feel like it, because it’s a choice to be all in for God and I want others to see His glory through me.” This year, the theme is “Restless: Longing and Belonging”, using the power of the gospel to point to Christ as the only one that can turn our longing to belonging. For more stories, check the top corners of this info sheet - there are so many times when God has used Challenge to impact students. We’re really excited for this summer (yes, we know it’s a ways away), and to see how God will use Challenge to work in our students! QUESTIONS? JULY 13-18, 2020 CONTACT EMILY KANSAS CITY, MO [email protected] “God puts us through tough situations because He loves us. It’s how we grow.” FAQ’S Here’s the basics, the details, and answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about Challenge. If we missed something, just ask! Give me the basics.

  • Messenger June/July 2018 Dear Mount Calvary Friends
    Volume XXX, Issue 3 Messenger June/July 2018 Dear Mount Calvary Friends, Thank you for your warm welcome! I am excited to be here as the interim associate pastor and enjoyed meeting many of you this first week. I look forward to getting to know you better in the weeks and months ahead. You may wonder, “What exactly is Deb’s role as an interim associate pastor?” “How is that different from Pastor Rome?” I have been called to serve during the transitional period (usually six to eight months) while you conduct your mission exploration and then search for your next associate pastor. My role differs from that of Pastor Rome, whose ministry focused on children, youth and families. My role is more general, so you can expect me to provide pastoral care, lead worship, preach, help lead faith formation, and work to deepen the sense of community and welcome at Mount Calvary. As an interim pastor, I will also provide support to the Transition Team’s work during the “Ministry Exploration Process” (MEP). The Transition Team has already been busy collecting data and are beginning to reflect upon Mount Calvary’s context, strengths, needs, and mission. Taking this Rev. Dr. Deb Kieslmeier, time to reflect allows us to look more deeply at what God has Interim Associate Pastor been up to among us, and where the Spirit is leading. This step is critical to discerning the type of associate pastor that will best serve this congregation in the years ahead. The Transition Team’s work will culminate in a “Ministry Site Profile” (MSP) describing our congregation, where God is calling Mount Calvary to go in mission, and the role and qualities desired in our next associate pastor.
