College Care Packages
We are once again filling shoe racks for our college students to send lots of goodies, cards, and love to them as they begin the final weeks of their semester. We have six college students we are currently supporting through this ministry. You can bring items like crackers, chips, cookies, etc. and fill up the shoe racks in the sanctuary, or place items in the box provided underneath. Our Christian Education Committee will take care of dividing everything out equally into 5 separate shoe racks. If you bring cards, please make sure they have the student’s name on the outside of the envelope. We will collect from Sunday, March 30th - Wednesday, April 16th. Thank you for always keeping these children of our congregation in your prayers and close to home, even as they are away studying.
The Next Breakfast Bunch
April 15th, 9 AM at Carriage House. Please contact Pat George (336) 971-3429 or Linda Smith (336) 978-6082 to RSVP.
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. This month, due to the Easter holiday, the next meeting will be Tuesday, April 29th 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
Save the Date: Coffee with the Pastors
Starting May 4th at 9:45 AM, we will be having a time of coffee & fellowship in the Parlor. This first month will be hosted by the board of Elders. We hope you’ll join us!
Grave Decoration on April 19th
Everyone is invited to help decorate graves at God’s Acre on Saturday, April 19th, beginning at 9:30 AM. For over 100 years, the churches of the Salem Congregation have been decorating the oldest graves at God’s Acre in preparation for the Easter Sunrise Service. Many of our fellow brothers and sisters buried in these graves no longer have family who can place flowers for Easter morning. We invite everyone—children, youth, young adults, and those young at heart to help us keep this tradition alive. Many hands make light work. We hope that this will take no longer than an hour with your helping hands. If you have fresh-cut flowers, flowering shrubs, or greenery that you can donate, please bring them to the church between Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week and place them in the buckets outside the church office. If you are planning to help decorate, you can bring them with you Saturday morning to God’s Acre. Remember to bring your gloves and clippers to help make quick work of our decorating. If you have any questions, contact Ginni Baker at (919) 649-3808.
Graduate Recognition Sunday
On Sunday, May 18th, we will observe our Graduate Recognition Day.

By May 9th, please email Jacob (jacob@calvarymoravian.org) and let us know of anyone in your family who will be graduating from high school, college, or graduate school. This will give us the opportunity to announce graduate information in our church publications, including the bulletin and our newsletters. In addition to the names of graduates, please provide school/college information, graduation date, and any future plans for the students following graduation. We look forward to acknowledging and congratulating all our graduates!
