Thanks to the generous
donation of paint from the Booker family and the help of many Calvary members,
some of the classrooms upstairs have a fresh look. We greatly appreciate the help from all those
who donated their time and energy to make Calvary brighter and more
welcoming! Our Calvary Family is a
community who not only worships together, but laughs and ministers together. Thanks be to God!
Calling all
seamstresses: there is a need for some
new angel and shepherd Christmas Pageant costumes. They are very quick and easy to sew and we
will provide the fabric, but we need help stitching the costumes together. If we each sew a few and we start now, we
will be ready long before it is time to try on costumes. Costume tryons begin in October and the
Christmas Pageant will be held on December 16 (right Ned?).
