Calvary is host to a Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry twice a month, on the first and third Thursdays at 5:00pm.  Come and help beginning about 4:15!

The first goal of Circles is for people to have a chance to get to know each other better, growing closer together and growing in Christ. Think “short term small groups focused on fellowship” and you get the idea. Circles mostly gather 3 times and can meet in a variety of times and places focused on a variety of activities; we could meet at homes, church, or public places, during the week or on the weekends, for board games, hiking, serving, Bible study, or sitting around a fire. The goal is fellowship so that we can grow together: how this happens is up to you and the Spirit. When fellowship happens well in these Circles (and in the church), we believe it leads directly to discipleship.

Every Circle will look slightly different, but we will provide a discussion theme for each season of Circles (both fall and spring) with questions and prompts focused on that theme for each time the Circle meets. This doesn’t mean a Circle couldn’t use other material for a deeper study if they so desired, but having a theme for each season will help us all have a similar experience as we participate in similar discussions. One thing that may be slightly different from other small group experiences is that we want to emphasize relationships over content in these Circle experiences. Gathering together, being present with each other, sharing stories back and forth: these all sound like humble goals, but they lead to deeper fellowship, which leads in turn to discipleship.

We also have a Community Garden on our property that we make available to neighbors and church members alike. It has become a vibrant spot for growing healthy food as well as friendships with our neighbors.  Applications are typically due by the beginning of May to reserve a plot.
