The Warmth of our Quilters

Picture
The Quilters of Mt Calvary have been stitching for roughly 50 years. Once the quilts are finished, they are boxed up and sent to Lutheran World Relief. Next, they are shipped to various countries in need, where they are used as: a shield against the elements, a simple tent, a floor covering, or even a wrap to hold a baby on a mother's back. In 2018, we shipped 54 quilts as part of the 323,610 quilts shipped to 21  different countries. Join our team. We are proud of the Quilters of Mt Calvary.

MAT Ministry

Helping the Homeless...

Picture
We are very proud of our MAT Ministry. This amazing ministry team will spend 20 hours transforming between 500 to 700 plastic bags into one sleeping mat for a homeless person. Several mats are crafted throughout the year. When the mats are complete, they are sent to the Catholic Charities Wausau Community Warming Center. These mats are valued by folks who sleep outdoors. The mat acts as a barrier from the damp ground. Also, this is a great way to recycle an everyday item. Go MAT Ministry!

Mt Calvary Clothes Closet

Free clothing throughout the year to those in need. Amount of clothing dependent upon need. Mt Calvary has gently used clothing available for children and adults. For a private appointment, call the church office at 715-359-4500.  Click here for more on Mt. Calvary Clothes Closet. 


Around the world

​Mt. Calvary’s reach goes beyond our local community.  We have a strong legacy of working with Lutheran World Relief (LWR) to serve our neighbors overseas who face poverty, injustice and human suffering. In a very tangible way we provide resources that reach people in many countries.

Missionary for a Day

Picture
The people of Mt. Calvary gladly support the mission work of Rev. Alex LaChapelle.  Over our rich history of helping global missions, since 1972 we have supported 11 missionaries in six countries.  Financial contributions to Missionary for a Day are designated for this ministry.
 
Alex serves as a Country Coordinator for the Young Adults Global Mission (YAGM) program in South Africa.  He mentors, guides and facilitates young adults through a year of international faith-based service.  He creates relationships within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of South Africa (ELCSA) and works alongside and learns from his ELCSA brothers and sisters.
 
Alex is originally from Wisconsin and a devoted Green Bay Packers fan.  His faith is deeply rooted in camp ministry.  He believes that the first lesson of love is to listen.  His first trip to South Africa was to attend the 2010 World Cup. 
His hobbies include playing guitar, watching tennis, football and hockey.  His birthday is July 6th.
