A Weekend To Remember - Marriage Getaway
February 24-26 | Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
Cost: $159 (with Calvary Rate Code: Just4Us)
Register at familylife.com
Life has a way of overwhelming a marriage: jobs, kids, activities, errands. Before you know it, checking your email is more important than carving out a date night. We want to offer you a chance to make a change: a time to rediscover each other and find more intimacy in your life together. We invite you and your spouse to join Calvary’s Marriage Ministry Team at the Family Life Weekend to Remember Marriage Getaway! Contact Regina with questions.
Community Group Launch - Registration Deadline This Monday
Next Sunday, February 12 | 4:30pm
Our goal at Calvary is to see every believer experiencing authentic Christian community. A Community Group is a great place to build meaningful relationships; join us this winter! New groups will be forming on February 12 at our Community Group Launch. We would love for you to experience community here at Calvary Church.
To join one of the new groups, register online at calvarygr.org or complete a registration form at the Connection Point by February 6 and plan on joining us on February 12. Contact Karen at ext 5173 with any questions.
Living a Full Life Workshop
February 23 | 9:30am-1:00pm | Fellowship Hall
Cost: $5 (includes lunch)
Are you one of the 10,000 Americans who will retire today? Today’s generation of retirees is living 25 years longer; what will you do with those years? Will you wake up on fire for what’s ahead? Or will you groan and lament that your best days are behind you?
Join Dr. L. James Harvey (author of the book Run Thru the Tape) for this inspiring workshop designed to help you see how the last third of life is the best third! Retirement is a time for continuing the race, not finishing it. Society’s perspective has twisted us all, but it’s not too late to change our view of the golden years. Contact Regina at 956-9377, ext. 3672 to register.
Prayer for Mozambique
A group will be gathering the first Sunday of each month to pray for our brothers and sisters in Mozambique. If you are interested, please join them today, February 5, at 11:15am, in Room 110.

Pray With the Elders
The elders meet for prayer from 6:15-7:15pm on the first Tuesday of each month, in Room 211. If you would like the elders to pray for you or would simply like to join them in prayer, please stop by. If you have a comment or question you would like to share with our Board of Elders, you can email them directly.
Nehemiah Prayer Team
When Nehemiah heard that the walls of Jerusalem needed repair, his first response was to fast and pray for four months. For the past two years, the elders and deacons have been praying and fasting for God’s wisdom concerning our space needs. Now we would like to invite our church family to join us. If you are willing to fast and pray with the elders, please email Sarah Merrill, and we will add your name to a regular prayer update. |
