Lenten Wednesday Night Program
On March 19th, we will have our next Lenten Wednesday evening program! Dinner will be served at 5 PM and provided by Circle 2. Then at 6, the different age groups will split off for the special programming. Adults will have Lenten Reflections with Pastor Nola. Jan Bullins will be making candles with the youth in the fellowship hall. The children will be playing games and making crafts in the younger elementary classroom. We hope you’ll join us for this Lenten journey!
Lenten Home Communion
Lent is a holy season of introspection, spiritual growth, and closeness to God and to our brothers and sisters in the family of God. In this holy time, Pastor Nola will come to you with communion at home during Lent if you wish. Please contact her directly (nola@calvarymoravian.org), or the church office, to schedule a visit!
Opportunity for Community & Prayer
Virtual prayer meetings are offered on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month, at 9:00 AM via Zoom. The next meeting will be Tuesday, March 25th. 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 https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81364100880
I look forward to sharing prayer with you! – Pastor Nola
Palm Cross Making
On April 11th, at 5:30 PM in Fellowship Hall, we’ll have dinner together and make palm crosses for Palm Sunday. We hope you’ll join us for this fellowship time as we prep for the beginning of Holy Week!
Easter Grave-cleaning and Flowering
Once again this year the youth and children will be offering their services to help any members, families, or friends of our congregation in the Easter tradition of cleaning graves in God’s Acre. We plan to clean graves on Good Friday, April 18th, just as we have in years past. We are grateful to Nick Stone who has secured flower availability. This year our flower option is a 6 inch potted Red Geranium ($25 per plant). Each pot will be wrapped with paper and a bow, and if desired, placed upon the grave requested or you may pick them up Good Friday morning at Calvary. Please see the order form available in the narthex or at the link below to place your order, or you may contact Elaine Peddycord at peddycj@bellsouth.net with questions. If you choose to have us clean the grave and place the flower, simply provide the name(s) and we will locate the grave. Orders must be received by April 6th in order to confirm numbers with the nursery. Additionally, please let us know if you plan to pick up your flower from God’s Acre after Easter.
Save the Date: Church-wide Retreat!
We have our Church-wide retreat scheduled for August 29th-31st with an option to stay until September 1st at Laurel Ridge. This is Labor Day Weekend. Make sure you mark this on your calendars!
