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.   Masks and social distancing will be in place.

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 Kid's Christmas Program

Calvary's Kids had their Christmas program on Sunday, December 15, 2019 entitled, "The Twelve Symbols of Christmas," and it was informative and an absolute delight!  A special thank you to our Calvary's Kids' leaders Jodi Betker Hilger, Jan Young, and Karen Williams and to our parents that help in so many ways. Also thank you Pastor Natalie Bassett for leading our worship service today. The families of our Calvary's Kids shared some delicious treats afterward with everyone in our fellowship hall.

Due to Co-Vid, we were not able to have the Christmas program for December of 2020, but hope to resume for December of 2021.
