New Opportunity for Community & Prayer
Virtual prayer meetings will be offered on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, at 9:00 AM via Zoom beginning Tuesday, February 11th.. We will pray for ourselves, for those on our prayer list, and for our church and world. This Zoom prayer time will last about 15 minutes, and gives us an additional opportunity to check in and share the people and things that we hold in our hearts. Confidentiality will be an essential part of these times together; when talking with someone else about the prayer time, it’s OK to say what you yourself shared, but not OK to say what anyone else shared. The link to join the meeting is

Lenten Wednesday Night Program
Giving something up for Lent? How about taking something on instead? Calvary is bringing back our Wednesday night program for the season of Lent! All ages are invited to join us every Wednesday night in Lent as we share a meal together and learn more about Jesus’ "I Am" statements. There will be activities for the kids, separate activities for the youth, and a teaching series on the "I Am" statements for the adults led by Pastor Chaz. You won’t want to miss this formative time with your Calvary family! Dinner will be served from 5-6 PM and program will follow from 6-7 PM each Wednesday night starting March 12th and continuing through April 9th. Our special Lenten Faire, led by Donna Cheek and Jan Bullins will make its return on Wednesday, March 26th! Please put these 6 Wednesdays (when you include Ash Wednesday pancake supper and service on March 5th) on your family’s calendar. It will be worth your time as you intentionally focus on Jesus and his teachings this Lenten season. Please reach out to Helen Pelkey with any questions or if you’d like to help contribute to one of the meals.
Ash Wednesday & Pancake Dinner
On Wednesday, March 5th, we will observe Ash Wednesday with two services, a simple service at 10 AM and our traditional service with music at 6:30 PM. Both services will include communion and the imposition of ashes. At 5 PM that evening, we will host a pancake dinner in Fellowship Hall.
