We're Collecting T-Shirts
KidVenture is collecting gently used t-shirts of all adult sizes. Bright colors are desired, but all colors are welcome. Donated T-shirts should have no designs on the back. The front design does not matter as it will be cut off. The shirts will be used in a project for VBS this year. Clean out your closets and help us collect 150 t-shirts. Bring your shirts to the designated receptacles in the Atrium during the month of March. Questions? Contact vbs@connectwithcalvary.org
Easter Family Movie and Fun Day!
Join us Sunday, March 17 at 2 pm for an Easter Veggie Tale Double feature on the big screens in the Worship Center. We will begin with a showing of An Easter Carol and end with Twas the Night Before Easter. Between the two movies (around 3:00), we will enjoy desserts, fellowship and fun. Come for any or all of the event! Bring a blanket to sit on, a bowl for popcorn, and a can of veggies to be donated to a local food pantry.
Kindergarten-3rd Grade Family Communion Night
Parents of K-3rd Graders are invited to join us Wednesday, March 20 from 6:30-7:30 pm as we discuss Communion during KidVenture programming. Pastor Grant will join us as families have an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the sacrament of Communion in the United Methodist Church. After learning, families will have an opportunity to Commune together, if they choose. Note: Regular programming will take place for preschoolers and 4th-5th Graders that evening.
Scrip remains available weekly!
Scrip offers ongoing fundraising through the purchase of gift cards. Some people think of gift cards in terms of "gifts" only. However, Scrip offers card options like Wal-Mart, Meijer, Cub, Sam's Club, and many gas companies. Through these options you have the ability to purchase gift cards to fill regular grocery and fuel needs while at the same time giving back to the organization. As you plan your weekly shopping, please consider using Scrip. Orders can be made online or on Sunday mornings at the KidVenture Connecting Point. For more information, please see our Scrip web page.
