KOINONIA DINNER FELLOWSHIPS - Throughout November
Koinonia is the Greek word for "fellowship."  Calvary provides Koinonia dinners every other month, which allows for opportunities to get to know others in our church.  It’s not a Bible study or a long-term commitment. There are several dates to choose from and different hosts for each month.  The hosts plan a meal and ask each participant to bring a part of the meal. These are fun nights of fellowship and sharing a meal together! Sign up online!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Do you love working with kids and have a heart to serve Jesus? Our Children’s Ministry is growing, and we need more volunteers to help nurture and guide the next generation. Whether through teaching, assisting, or simply being a caring presence, your involvement makes a lasting difference. If you feel called to serve, please contact the church office—we’d love to connect with you!
