It’s not every day that a church makes an event out of burning important paperwork. But after 28 years of paying off its mortgage, Mount Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Manheim Township has cause for celebration. The church will host a Mortgage Burning Celebration on Sunday morning for its congregation. “There is a quiet excitement as we reflect upon the commitment of past members who gave their time and money to build God’s house and look forward to the future,” says Nancy Marshall, event and board of education chair. The Rev. Christopher Seifferlein, pastor of the church, expresses admiration for parishioners who gave generously and rose to the challenge that predates his arrival at the church. For decades, in addition to their regular weekly offering, members used a special envelope to give monthly toward paying off the mortgage.
