In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. I Thessalonians 5:18
Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever. Psalm 106:1
This Thanksgiving, and every day, let us give thanks to God for His blessings, large and small, but also for the hard times which cause us to grow.

On November 9, the Calvary Masterworks Chorus presented selected hymns arranged by Christopher Norton and John Rutter’s Requiem to a capacity crowd. The performance took place at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Lee’s Summit so that alumna Bethany Franklin could accompany the group on the pipe organ. The chorus was comprised of Calvary students, staff, alumni, and local singers and was conducted by Jeremy Schell. Students Brittany Hill, Charis Schneeberger, Marilla Flynn, and Abigail Dutoit were soloists. The Requiem was also accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble including student Benjamin Aeschliman on the flute.

Dr. Tommy Ice
The third annual Charles Ryrie Lecture Series took place October 23-26, 2018. Calvary’s own professor, Dr. Tommy Ice, was the speaker for the four-day event. He is the Program Director for the Bachelor in Bible & Theology, and he serves as the Executive Director of the Pre-Trib Research Center. Dr. Ice spoke on Tuesday about the importance of Bible prophecy. In the final three sessions, he gave overviews of the pre-trib rapture, tribulation, millennium, and the eternal state. Each message was filled with good information, and students had the opportunity to ask questions at the end. The week concluded with Day of Prayer as students spent the morning praying with faculty and staff before attending the final session.

The 2018 Clay Shoot Benefit was held on October 20 at Powder Creek Shooting Park. This was our fourth annual event, and God once again provided wonderful weather. Eight teams comprised of 38 individuals participated in the sporting clays competition. This year the winning team included three Calvary alumni and our Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Teddy Bitner. Dr. Bitner also won the prizes for best individual shooter and most consecutive hits. We want to express our appreciation to our sponsors – MidAmericare & Patmos Healthcare, Bushnell, and CZ-USA. All proceeds from the event will go toward student scholarships.

Last weekend Calvary’s Theatre Arts Department presented Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.
Ann Deever (Mallory Pihl) and Chris Keller (Vincent Matteson)
The story of the play takes place a few years after the end of World War II, so our student body supported the cast and crew by dressing in ‘40s fashion on Friday. We are thankful for all of the time and effort put in to producing this show by many students and faculty members.
Ann Deever (Mallory Pihl) and Kate Keller (Christy Stone)
George Deever (Zeb Johnson) and Joe Keller (Corey Ruehling)
The play is a tragedy and centers on the Keller family. It presents thought-provoking themes of family relationships and suicide, and the actors sought to really understand what the world was like during that time period.
