The Good Shepherd

The image of the good shepherd shows us how the risen Christ brings us to life.

It is the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep, one of mutual knowledge and love, that gives the shepherd authority. The shepherd’s willingness to lay down his life for the sheep shows his love.

First John illustrates what it means to lay down our lives for one another by the example of sharing our wealth with any sibling in need.

CALVARY'S GARDEN MINISTRY

With the weather turning nice the Garden Gnomes are getting ready for a huge year of produce for the Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM).

This year we are once again asking for coffee grounds and egg shells to enrich our soil. We have put 5 gallon buckets outside the kitchen door for the congregation to put their waste in the designated container.

We collected 1,500 pounds of fruits and vegetables last year and are shooting for 2,000 pounds for this season.

Thank you for your support of this ministry project.

Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

Our Centering Prayer group offers an opportunity to meet people, form new relationships, and to experience a method of prayer that helps us develop a better awareness of God's presence in our lives each day.

We invite you to give Calvary's Centering Prayer group a try. We are a small group of individuals who meet by Zoom on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm

Each 40 minute session includes Scripture, a time for meditation, and a time for sharing prayer requests. It is a quiet, peaceful way to draw near to God as we bring our day to a close.
