An Easter Prayer
A Prayer for New Life:
“Heavenly Father, as Christ has died and is risen,
Help us, too, to take up our crosses and do Your will,
And lead us to New Life in You.”
Rightnow MEDIA is HERE!: (Updated!) Calvin’s 1-year subscription to ‘rightnow MEDIA’ has begun! The goal is to try to provide increased opportunity for all of us to explore and to deepen our faith journey with God. As a part of Calvin’s 1-year subscription, those who have agreed to, should have received an email invite from ‘rightnow MEDIA’ to set up their own free access to the site and its resources as a part of our congregation.
Bible Study Concludes – Thurs. Apr. 17th: (Last Reminder!) Our latest 5-part Bible study based on the life of the Old Testament’s Joseph concludes this coming Thurs. Apr. 17, with in-person afternoon sessions @ 1:00 p.m. and online evening session @ 7:00 p.m. on ZOOM. This Lenten study, entitled “A Journey with Joseph” focused on Joseph’s life, and the challenge of striving to do what’s right even when it’s hard. We hope you will make plans to join us for this study! (Please see the attached poster for more details.)

Instead of the list of repeated announcements and contact information, for instance, the links below contain the same (and extra!) information. Like it? Dislike it? Have some suggestions? Let us know what you think!
