A Great Time Was Had by All at the Antigo Christmas Parade!
Merry Christmas from the Kindred Parish Youth from Calvary and St. John’s!
What a great turn-out we had for the Antigo Christmas Parade. It was a beautiful evening and such a fun time. The wagon was full. A big thank you to everyone that helped, bought candy, and shared their time. Following the parade the youth were invited to a pizza party at Calvary. The float was donated through the efforts and driving skills of Vicar’s husband, Chris Hartleben. (Lynda E.) Family Night at Calvary was a Great Success!It was a very successful family fun night at Calvary Lutheran church. From the parable of the pumpkin that helped kids understand God’s great big love for them to the scavenger hunt that led to Calvary’s own little pumpkin patch to the delicious pizza and desserts it was a great night for all! Thank you to all the behind the scenes helpers. So much fun! Vicar Jennifer

Come and Enjoy a Bible Journaling Class!
Are you looking for an artistic and imaginative way to express your spirituality, we recommend trying out this new trend.
What is Bible Journaling? Bible journaling is a combination of two acts: studying the Bible and keeping a record of things you deal with every day. It is a type of reflective journaling where you use the Bible to guide you in understanding life and the things around you. This type of journaling creates a way for you to approach the disciplines of the Bible in a fresh, new way. It allows you to learn and appreciate the teachings of the Lord and the scriptures in an organized and creative manner. It does not require exemplary artistic skills, it only requires devotion and faith. Starting a Bible journal is almost the same as starting a normal journal. Dedication and commitment are vital in order to continue. We are so fortunate to have Lorra Metko who has offered to lead a Bible Journaling Group. The first class started on Thursday, January 21st in the Fellowship Hall at Calvary at 6:00 p.m. This group will continue to meet the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m. through May. Friendship Circle
Friendship Circle is a group of women from Calvary that join together once a month for Bible Study and fellowship among friends. This is not just Bible Study. It is a time to get to know each other. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Come join us!!! We practice social distancing and wear masks.
Calvary's KidsCalvary's Kid's is an exciting Christian Education program for grades K-6 and when in session gathers on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 6:30 from Mid-September through May.
