Calvary Link: To the Ends of the Earth

Calvary-Link-Even-MoreIn just two weeks, on May 1, I'm going to ask our entire church family to join me in making a commitment to our Even More generosity initiative! I'm already all in and can't wait to see what God is going to do through all of us. Right now we are sharing the vision, answering questions, and praying. This Sunday church leaders will be in the foyer to answer any questions you may have. I believe with all my heart God longs to bless us, and I'm excited about His blessing for us.

Even with our Even More generosity initiative on the horizon, we are still doing so many things right here in Valparaiso and around the world. There are 5 short-term mission teams going out from Calvary this year, and many individuals who are doing internships abroad. I just love being part of a church that gives and gives! God will bless us for it. Teams will be serving as close to home as Kalamazoo, MI, and as far away as Kenya and Guatemala. You can learn more about the international trips on our Serve the World page, and if you want to help support a team (or two!), please do. We've got an online giving tool you can use.

I hope you are making plans to join us on Sunday. We are going to sing together, worship together, and open the Word together. And by the way, we were completely out of room at 9:45 with nearly 700 worshippers on our campus during that service alone! If you can come early at 8:15 or later at 11:15, you'll be helping make room until we can expand our Worship Center!

What's New at Calvary...

Coffee With the Pastors
Visitors to Calvary are invited to meet our pastors and ministry leaders on Sunday 5.15. This is a casual, relaxed evening where we invite you to ask questions and get to know the church staff. Join us at Calvary (NEW location!) from 6:30-8p for a cup of coffee, tasty desserts, and a chance to meet others who are new to Calvary.

Even More Prayer
As we pray for the upcoming Even More project and generosity initiative, we are asking God to do EVEN MORE than we ask or imagine (Eph 3:20-21). This week we are praying specifically for wisdom for our designers and architects as they create beautiful spaces that honor God and serve our church family. You can pick up a prayer card at Guest Services with all 5 prayer points.

Child Dedication
When your family grows, our church family grows! We hold a child dedication ceremony during all three services on Mother's Day each year. We would love to pray with your family on Sunday 5.8. Parents are encouraged to attend a child dedication class on Wednesday 4.27 or Sunday 5.1. Register on the Child Dedication page of our website.
