Two days until the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Today Calvary celebrated with good food and friendship.
A short play called To Tell the Truth: Who is the Real Martin Luther? The famous celebrities who asked the questions:
The real Martin Luther stood up:
The entire cast:
Nine participants had to find 5 gummy worms buried in the Diet of Worms pie plate:
When this art project is finished and hung, it will look great:

On the fourth Saturday of every month, Calvary Lutheran hosts a Community Meal in the Social Hall.
Chili, bread, green salad, fruit cocktail,
and dessert.
After it was over, we changed the room over for the Reformation Party tomorrow.
Crafting Saturday
Thank you to Joan, Deborah, Nicki, Leone, Nicki, Caitlin, Lorna, Jan, Rayna, and Makenzie who came to Crafting Saturday at Calvary Lutheran Church to help prepare for the Reformation Party on September 29. Nicki, Jan, and Leone cut all the pieces needed to make a Luther’s Rose:
Candlemakers Joan and Deborah:
Sachet maker Caitlin:
Makenzie and Rayna gathered various decorative items and ….
apparently I exhausted them:
Finally we practiced how to mod-podge pieces of tissue paper onto this 48″ square piece of plexiglass of a Luther’s Rose.
Country Faire parade
The staging area was at Westside Park.

Quilt Trail Project
My view of the parade, following the Girl Scouts:
This mural was painted for the first Country Faire in 2012, the 100th anniversary of Rio Linda’s founding.
The end of the parade.
Making a float
Tomorrow is the Rio Linda Country Faire. Calvary Lutheran has always had a float in the Saturday parade. This year I borrowed Justin’s truck and a trailer from one of his friends (whose name is also Justin). The first stop was at CLC to load the bell into the bed of the truck.
The guys: Jim Williams, a helpful neighbor, Patrick Thorne, Spencer Thorne.
Tessa and Aiden
Another project finished!
3 monk’s costumes! You’ll see these again on Sept 16 in a parade.
VBS Sunday morning
Today’s church service was held in the social hall with a brunch break in the middle. The kids from Vacation Bible School participated in all parts of the service.
I was so happy Odin and Kellen came and participated.
VBS at CLC
This week, I did the storytelling part of Vacation Bible School at Calvary Lutheran Church. A little reminder that it’s a good thing to be a retired teacher. The day started and ended with Pastor Kirsten.
There were 3 rotations of different age groups. Aiden as Jesus “on” the cross.
Kellen as Pilate directing his helper to put one of the criminals on a cross next to Jesus.
Jesus inside the tomb covered with “linen” – everyone wanted to go to see what that would look like.
Closing up the tomb – hopefully Jesus’ feet were safe.
Kyle and Odin were angels waiting for Sunday morning to announce, “He is alive!”
The best part of the whole week was getting to spend it with grandsons Kellen and Odin!
First project completed
To get ready for Vacation Bible School at the end of July, I cut out lots of pictures, glued them onto foam board, and cut out the shapes again with a utility knife.
Coolers and styrofoam boxes covered with “stone” plastic table covers will be fortress walls. The washing machine NOT in the laundry room is the subject of the next blog post 😦
Crown and Ark of the Covenant finished:
Crafting Saturday
at Calvary Lutheran. Thank you to seven ladies who came to Crafting Saturday. There were four different crafts, all relevant to Vacation Bible School in July and the Reformation Party in October.
We made lavender sachet samples, four medieval chandeliers out of poster board and toilet paper rolls,
Mackenzie was the youngest participant.
and learned how to cut Luther’s Rose.
The fourth craft was an illuminated letter, but turned into an at-home project for a few of us.
