Join us on National Day of Prayer (Thurs., May 1)
Thurs., May 1, is the National Day of Prayer. On this day Americans are encouraged to lift their voices in prayer for our country, imploring God's mercy and direction for our government leaders, the church, families, the military, businesses, education, and the media. May we all commit to pray, knowing that God hears our prayers and desires to bring blessings to our world. We encourage you to sign up for a time slot on the poster in the narthex that we might have a round-the-clock vigil of prayer. Prayer guides are available there for your use. All are also welcome to attend Calvary’s chapel service at 8:15 a.m. as the children lift up prayers to our God.

Summer Women’s Bible Study
Tuesdays, Jun 3 - Jul 15 9:00 a.m. & 6:30 p.m.
Jude ~ Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture
While often overlooked, the book of Jude remains as relevant today as when it was written. God has commanded His beloved church to contend for the faith in a world of unbelief, and as we do, He promises to keep us from falling into the same deception. In this 7-session study by Jackie Hill Perry, dive into themes of being called, loved, and kept, and learn how to point others to Jesus in grace & truth. We serve others well when we share the whole gospel with them, not just the parts deemed attractive by our culture. Sign-ups begin mid-May.
Retirement Celebration for Kimberly Moore (May 3/4)
We gather in celebration for the years of faithful service by Mrs. Kimberly Moore. A reception with light refreshments will be held in the gymnasium on Sat, May 3 at 6:30 p.m. Kimberly will also be recognized during services on Sun, May 4 (8:00 & 10:45 a.m.) with refreshments in the café between services. All are invited. We thank the Lord for His blessings to Kimberly over the years.
