-Matt 

Are you in high school? Looking for something to do TOMORROW, Saturday, February 15? How about ice skating and a movie?

Meet us at church at 2 p.m. We'll head over to the Arctic Ice Arena just down the road from church and skate from 2:30-3:30 p.m. We'll then go back to church for pizza and watch The Mighty Ducks until 5:30 p.m. 

Cost is $10 ($7 to skate, $2 to rent skates, $1 for pizza). All are welcome! For more information contact Dave and Crystal Rusthoven at djrusthoven@gmail.com.

Yes, it is Cadet Pinewood Derby time again! Did you know that you don't have to be a Cadet to participate in the Derby? Once again, the Cadets are offering an "Open Class" so anyone can join in on the fun. You can build your very own Pinewood Derby car and race it with the Cadets on Saturday, March 1 at 12-3 p.m. in the church gym.

There is a suggested donation of $20 for the car kit. Contact our Cadet Leaders Mark Sullivan (drpaulmarksullivan@gmail.com) or Mike Sluis (sluismichael@sbcglobal.net) to get your Pinewood Derby kit and let the sanding begin!

Please note that the sign-up deadline to enroll your car is THIS SUNDAY, February 16th.

Calvary Church uses a database program called ACS to maintain our records for members and visitors. This program also has room for all of us to upload photos of our families to help all of us to get to know each other! Think of it as a virtual directory of Calvary Church, kinda like Facebook, but just for our church.

Continuing this Sunday, February 16, there will be a table in the lobby where you can have your photo taken and uploaded for you.  

Rather do it yourself? You can pick up instructions at the table or get them here.

Baby bottles with change are being once again collected for Bethany Christian Services.  

Bethany Christian Services is the nations' largest adoption agency, and they also care for women facing unplanned pregnancies, and orphans. Please put your spare change in the bottles and bring them back to church by THIS SUNDAY, February 16.

Thank you from the Chicago Christian High School National Honors Society. If you have any further questions, contact Kayla Bulthuis.

This verse-by-verse study of the Revelation of John will help you experience the awesome spiritual power that resides in this final book of the Bible. Revelation's message is truly for every generation: "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." Rev. 1:3.

Show up on Sunday mornings starting February 23 at 9:30 a.m. in room 241 OR Tuesday nights starting February 25 at 7 p.m. in room 252 to receive this blessing from God! Questions? Contact Joe Dampf at jdampf22@gmail.com.

Stepping Up

Explore the major feasts of Israel and journey with Beth through this 7-session study, starting on Thursday, February 27 at 7 p.m. in Room 104. Themes of unity, joy, gratitude, redemption, repentance, the power of blessings, facing ridicule, and more are explored in detail. Modern-day believers in Jesus Christ can learn much from these treasured Psalms in their journey toward greater intimacy with God.

Camp Manitoqua, a local Christian camp we work with, has just begun summer registration. They have many wonderful camp opportunities for your child, whether it's just a one- or three-day overnighter for the young ones, or a full week for those entering 3rd grade and up.  

We are very excited to have designated "church weeks" this year where hopefully many of our children can attend camp together. To support the high value we place on church camp in a child's life, Calvary offers financial assistance based on family membership and/or regularly active attendance in KidsLife or Youth programs.

Stop by the Camp Table upstairs near The LOFT and Youth area to pick up a Manitoqua packet and a detailed registration letter from Tiffany Johnston, the KidsLife Director. Early bird pricing deadline is March 31. 

The date is set for June 23-27 at 9 a.m. to 12 noon for Vacation Bible School for ages 4 thru 12. Mark your calendars!

The VBS Directors Team has approached individuals to seek their interest in serving as a station leader or head coordinator. If you have interest in serving prior to the VBS week we have several options such as prep work or decorating team. The volunteer form for the actual week of VBS will be coming out in mid-April. Please call Tiffany at the church office or email her at children@calvaryop.org
