Parents Night Out
Register your children here for the next Parent's Night Out!  This fun-filled event will take place on Saturday, December 4, 2010 from 6-8:30 pm at Calvary UMC.  Children will enjoy games, Christmas activities, crafts, and a snack while parents spend a few hours on their own.  Caregivers include Calvary's Girls of Grace, Nursery Care-Givers and youth helpers.  Dinner will NOT be served so please be sure children eat dinner before arriving.  A snack will be served.  Please note any food allergies when registering.  Space may be limited, so register now!   For more information, contact Lori Short or Kerri Cordray.

Hanging of the Greens
Come join the fun as we gather together to decorate Calvary for the Christmas season on Saturday, November 27 beginning at 4 pm.  Special treats, including a light dinner will be provided.  This is a great opportunity for Calvary families to Connect with One Another!

Special Thank You
 We would like to share a prayer of thanksgiving for the Calvary Care - College Ministry committee and our KidVenture families. The team prepared fifty-four finals packets for our college students Sunday. I am thankful for such a special team of volunteers with generous and caring hearts... the packets would not have been such a success without the contributions from the KidVenture students and their families.

Thank you for your support and prayers for the Operation Christmas Child project. With your love, prayers and support, 145 boxes were filled!  It will be exciting to receive the location of where the boxes land and mark the destinations on a large world map to share with our KidVenture children.  This project has been a huge blessing and a great opportunity to Connect with Our World!

  

The deadline for the OSCYS is approaching on Sunday, December 5. Look for Reggie Redbird's photo in the Atrium to pick up a registration form.  This opportunity is for students in grades 4-8 to sing the Star Spangled Banner at an ISU basketball game on Sunday, January 23.  Mark your calendars for the first rehearsal on Sunday, Dec 5 from 10 - 10:30 am in Room L1.  Please contact patmessinger@comcast.net.
