Top Stories at Calvary

  • Pastor Cornell on Sabbatical Leave  In May through July of 2009, Pastor Lori Cornell will take a sabbatical in which she will explore what it means to be authentically and meaningfully Lutheran in the Pacific Northwest in a way that is welcoming and attractive to young adults. Take a look at her sabbatical webpage and blog. Her whole family is currently with her in Jerusalem.
