For the past eight years, Dave Calvert has faithfully served as our Church’s ASL Interpreter. Dave has interpreted the 11:00 am worship service and also led our ASL Choir. Dave works as a full-time ASL interpreter in the Perry Township School System, has served as President of the State interpreters association, and has also recently launched his own private interpreting business that is growing rapidly. Given these demands, and after much prayer and thought, Dave has decided to resign as our ASL interpreter, so as to have more time to devote to both his professional and personal life. May 18 will be his last Sunday as our Interpreter.

Dave loves our Church and is excited about what God is doing here. He plans to remain an active member.

Pastor Jeff has begun dialogue with the ASL Choir and the Board of Directors to assess where our ASL Ministry stands and evaluate our future options. We will be working hard to find a new leader for our ASL Choir. We will also explore options for finding another interpreter, although the market for interpreters is extremely tight, especially for Churches.

Please be sure to express you deep appreciation to Dave for 8 years of incredible service Sunday after Sunday after Sunday!
