Fourteen members of Calvary gathered at Wheaton Regional Park last Saturday for a Holy Hike outing. It was a good morning enjoying God’s creation together. The next Holy Hike will take place in February. Please let Pastor Mike know if you have suggestions for the hike location.

A special food collection for Manna Food is being held during the month of November. This special collection effort is being led by Calvary Confirmation Student Hank Schwartz as part of the confirmation process. This Sunday, Nov. 17 we are asking for donations of canned meats and fish.
