Calvary Workday (Sat., June 21)
The Calvary Lutheran Facility Ministry Team will be hosting an all-congregation workday on Sat., June 21 from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (or until tasks are completed). No particular skill level or experience is needed. Helping hands and willing hearts are a powerful combination that can be put to good use for the good of God's people and His house.
The primary indoor task will be the demolition and reinstallation of a new drop ceiling and lighting in the "zig-zag" hallway near the church office. We will have a wide range of tasks inside and outside the building. Please prayerfully consider joining in the effort.

Cancer Support Coming This Fall
Are you or a loved one on a journey with cancer? Calvary is looking to support you with Bible studies, support groups, and prayer partners. More than just getting through your diagnosis, you will be encouraged to see the blessings of God's love, peace, strength, and courage. The program will begin this fall. Presently, we are looking for a few more individuals interested in facilitating this group. Facilitators will receive training and mentoring from a program coordinator. Interested or wanting more information? Contact Diane Gibson.

Summer Women’s Bible Study
Tuesdays, Jun 3 - Jul 15 at 9:00 a.m. or 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-up in the narthex. Books are $18.00.
Extravagant Sharing
During May continue filling the Extravagant Sharing shelves across from the center church doors with boxes and individual serving size cups of MACARONI AND CHEESE, plus breakfast cereal. Thanks from those who receive our gifts of love!
