There are a variety of ways to engage the Advent and Christmas seasons with Calvary and otherwise this year! Scroll down the page for more information, and click links where appropriate for full details.
ADVENT WREATHS Do-it-yourself Advent wreaths (including candles and greens) are available for purchase through Calvary, for those interested in following the season at home. Cost is $12, but you don't have to pay when you order (cash or checks are preferable). Contact Shakirah in the church office by November 30th to order your wreath. We plan to assemble the wreaths immediately following worship on Sunday, December 1. If you're not available then, contact Shakirah to arrange for an alternate pick-up.
