Upcoming Events
New Christians Class
Our Calvary Kids New Christians Class begins on Sunday, September 13, during the 10 a.m. worship service. We'll meet in Room 407, just down the hallway from our Calvary Kids Room. We'll meet for 3 Sundays (September 13, 20, and 27) to help our kids who have come to Christ learn the basics of the faith. Now that they've received Christ, we want to help each child with the basics of faith to launch them as disciples of Jesus.
Youth & Family Cookout
On Saturday, Sept. 19, all Calvary youth and their families are invited to a fun-filled cookout at the Boyd family's home! Enjoy a day of great food, fellowship, and time together as we connect outside of our regular church activities. Free transportation will be provided from Calvary, departing at 9:30 a.m. Registration is required by Sunday, Sept.13, to reserve your spot and ensure adequate transportation and food. We hope you'll join us for this special day!
Tie-Dye Everything
Tie-Dye Everything is coming on Sunday, September 20 at 12:45 pm in our Kids Ministry Room! You and your kids (early childhood & elementary) will get to create fun designs on T-shirts, bags, and socks. We'll have all of these items ready for you and your kids. Everyone can experiment with color and pattern, watching as plain items transform into works of art. Everyone will enjoy this chance to make something truly their own. Your entire family is welcome to join us! Pizza lunch will be served.
Student Ministry Mini Golf Tournament
Join us on Sunday, October 4, for an afternoon of fun and friendly competition at our Student Ministry Mini Golf Tournament! Following the morning worship service, we’ll begin with pizza in the Youth Room before taking the subway together to Pier 25 for the tournament. The cost is $10 per person (to play). Family members are welcome to join the fun and participate as well! The tournament winner will receive a gift card prize, so bring your best putting skills! We look forward to a great afternoon of fellowship, food, and fun! Registration is required by Sunday, September 27.
Student Ministry Mini Golf Tournament
Your family is invited to join us for Nerf & Nachos on Sunday, November 15, at 12:45 p.m., following the 10 a.m. church service! We'll meet in our Kids Ministry Room on the 4th floor. We'll have Nerf blasters, loaded nachos, and TONS of darts ready for your family. Nerf & Nachos is the kind of event kids will talk about long after the last dart hits the floor. Kids will go head-to-head in a series of challenges that test their aim, nerve, and teamwork, from knocking down towers to hitting moving targets. One impossible shot will be set up in the corner of the room all event long, just waiting for the one kid skilled enough to land it. Before we begin, the nacho bar opens up, and everyone gets to dig in. This is a great event to invite a family from the community to join us!
Holly Jolly
Holly Jolly, our Community Christmas Outreach, is coming Saturday and Sunday, December 12–13! Throughout the weekend, we’ll offer three opportunities for you to join us—and invite your family, friends, and neighbors—for a festive, fun-filled family event celebrating the Christmas season.Mark your calendars and start thinking about who you can invite. More details coming soon!
