Weekly Highlights
Lenten Midweeks “Calling Us Home (1 Peter)”
Wednesday onsite & online at 6:30 p.m. (Mar 12 - Apr 9)
1 Peter is only 105 verses, but it is rich with guidance and encouragement for our journey through an increasingly secular world. Each week God’s word will challenge us and comfort us, as we journey toward the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father, who is “Calling Us Home”. Join us this week:
Apr 2 - “Blessed and Blessing” (1 Peter 3:8-17)
Apr 9 - “Graced toward Glory” (1 Peter 5:6-11)
Extravagant Sharing
In April, please fill the Extravagant Sharing shelves with PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY! Boxes of cereal are always needed and appreciated. Please continue to express your support and care for our community through your extravagant sharing. Pray also for God to bless the households receiving help and all those who give their time and energy for the organization needed to distribute donations. THANK YOU!

It was announced in worship services last weekend that Pastor Mark Schumm has accepted Calvary’s call to serve as our Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care & Adult Education.

Community Garden Sign-Up
Spring is getting closer every day and as the ground warms up and the grass turns green, it's time to think about the Community Garden. Garden Plots are about 10’x20’. The cost is $20 per plot. You do the planting, and you do the cultivating while water is provided on site. Contact Pastor Art to reserve your plot. Planting starts between mid-April to mid-May.

Calvary's 10th Annual Run/Walk/Ride (RWR) Event
We've hit a milestone this year of encouraging our students, families and community to participate in healthy activities like running, walking and riding while also raising a cumulative total of over $250,000 to provide educational materials for our students. Can you help to make this year our biggest year ever? Our greatest needs are sponsors to offset the cost of the event and donors to help us reach our financial goals for this year. But the help doesn't end there. We have lots of opportunities for serving. Whether you can send out a mailing or volunteer at one of the events, we need you! If you would like more information about the events or ways to help, contact Dawn Schultz. Community Walk is Sat., Apr 26. Bike Rodeo is Fri., May 2.
