Calvary Link: Save the Dates!

Calvary-Link-Old-and-NewPlanning and preparing for our campus expansion has been quite a process. We've done lots of listening to our big family and have been working hard to get things right. We've been sharing the vision with elders and leaders, and on Sunday, March 6, is the big reveal. How is God going to use our church to reach EVEN MORE people with the life-changing message of the gospel? Don't miss it!

There's another important date we want you to save. Easter Sunday is March 27. It comes early this year, and I'm hoping for an early spring too. An Easter celebration will be the perfect finale to your Spring Break; plan to join us that morning as we rejoice in a risen Savior. And invite someone to join you.

This Sunday, we start the book of Acts. We'll immerse ourselves in the stories of the early church, known as followers of The Way. Their stories are our stories--our history and model as we too walk in The Way.

What's New at Calvary...

IF:Valparaiso Simulcast
IF:Valparaiso is a simulcast gathering that brings together women from around the world. This Friday evening, 2.5, and Saturday, 2.6, the IF:Gathering encourages women to look to Jesus, the example of what it means to live in the fullness of grace and truth. Get tickets and info online at the IF:Valparaiso event page.

New Sermon Series: The Way
The Bible is rich with stories, and among the most exciting are those of the early followers of the Way. In our new series in the book of Acts, we'll walk dusty roads with the apostle Paul, cheer as the gospel spreads in yet another town, and peer into the faces of new believers alight with the love and freedom of Christ. The Way changed the world. This is our story, written in an ancient language but with a message that is fresh and relevant for those of us walking in The Way.
