WORSHIP JANUARY 17TH AT 9:30 AM OR THEREAFTER
Jesus doesn't call us to sit on the sidelines in life, but rather to be part of making our communities and world a place where peace, justice, and compassion toward one another abound. What a relevant message! Enjoy this worship service with Pastors Rev. Elaine Wing and Rev. Dr. Carolyn Thomas along with our music ministry teams. The service is posted at 9:30 AM on Sunday and it, and other services, can be accessed in our worship archives at any time. https://youtu.be/zV1-p_-Y_fM

FOOD BRIGADE - Calvary is the site of the Food Brigade which distributes free food boxes and milk to persons in need during the Pandemic. Here are the two links to use to request assistance:
(1) for assistance for ONLY yourself - https://foodbrigade.org/assistance
OR
(2) as a "distribution partner" - receiving food for yourself AND others to whom you will deliver food (even just one other person) - https://foodbrigade.org/partner
These links will take you directly to the specific assistance form you need to complete in order to receive food. Food is distributed every Wednesday. Please send an email to Calvary185@verizon.net for more information or to volunteer.
