A Word from Our Pastor
You are surely aware by now that come next Easter, Mike Baker will be stepping down from his role as the Commissioned Ruling Elder at Calvary. Throughout the nearly three years of our nesting relationship with Calvary, it has been a real pleasure to work with Mike.
Mike was instrumental in helping to plan our nesting relationship with Calvary and when it came to having joint services between Northminster and Calvary, I always found Mike to be professional and courteous. I appreciated Mike's willingness to preach for me on those Sundays when I was away from the pulpit and I was especially honored to preach at his installation service back in September of 2015.

I know that Mike cares deeply about everyone at Calvary and it is for that reason that all of our friends at Calvary will miss him as he departs from his position of leadership. But I also know that in whatever way Mike chooses to serve God in the future, it will be with the same energy, caring and talent he brought to his position at Calvary.

Finally, I hope you will join me in praying for Mike, the Baker family and the entire congregation of Calvary Presbyterian during this time of transition.

Blessings,
Pastor Rich
