A Note from Stedman Elementary Principal Michael Atkins



Dear Pastor Scalfaro and Pastor Downing,



On behalf of our students and the entire Stedman community, thank you for your generous donation. Stedman students will enjoy these high interest, culturally relevant books for years to come! Your donation came at the same time the library collection was being revised, and our new PTA-funded librarian began her position. Perfect timing!



We are also building classroom libraries and students will enjoy some of the beautiful books you donated in the classroom, fostering a love of reading throughout the school.



Please see the slide show below showing how library services at DPS helped transform our space from a storage unit to a beautiful library.

Again, thank you for your generosity, and we look forward to our continued collaboration in service of the community.



Sincerely,



Michael Atkins Read More…

Thank You Becky Porter

We will be recognizing the ministry of Becky Porter as Calvary’s Nursery Coordinator from Sept. 2017 – Dec. 2019 on Sunday, January 19 in the 10:30 a.m. worship service. You may bring a card of appreciation and thanks for Becky that morning.

As many of you know, Becky’s husband Brad was involved in a serious accident at work in July and is still recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Becky is stepping down from the Nursery Coordinator position so that she can focus on her family and Brad’s on-going recovery. It has been a difficult six months for Becky, Brad, and Aliyah. Please continue to remember them in your prayers as they move into the next phase of this journey as Brad returns to work part-time and continues his recovery.

While our kids will miss Ms. Becky greatly, they will be in good hands. Angela Leonard’s role and hours as Children’s Ministry Coordinator will be expanded to include nursery coordination. If you have any questions about nursery or children’s ministry, you may email Angela. If you have any questions about this staff transition, you may email Staff Relations Chair Mick Davey or Pastor Anne. Read More…
