Fourth & Fifth Grade Local Retreat Event!

Ash Wednesday Love Feast Wednesday, February 22 is Ash Wednesday. Calvary celebrates this holiday with a special Love Feast service. KidVenture students are invited to share in the special worship service with their families. Nursery will be available as an option for those youngest among us, but all other KidVenture programs will be cancelled that evening. Join us for our annual Ash Wednesday Love Feast from 6:30-7:15 in the Worship Center. We will begin Lent together by sharing rolls and tea, fellowshipping with one another, receiving the sign of ashes, and celebrating the Lord's Supper together. For efficiency in food preparation, please RSVP a head count online or at the Welcome Center.
