Wednesday T A Nights

Calvary Church

something for everyone - yay!

choose an activity • Kids-N-Action Kindergarten - 4th Grade | 6:30-7:50pm | Entrance K

Our desire in KIDS-N-ACTION is that children understand what God says in the Bible, believe it, and obey it in their daily lives. KIDS-N-ACTION is designed to foster social interaction through chosen electives, while facilitating spiritual growth in learning from the book of James how to “put your faith into action.”

Start with dinner

Electives include: Super Sports, Amazing Art, Stitches, Globe-Trotters, Karate Kids, Kid Vs. Wild and Act One. Register online at MyCalvaryGR.org or at the Calvary Kids’ Check-in Desk.

Wednesday Fellowship Dinner is served from 5:00 to 6:30pm in the Fellowship Hall.

• Li’l KIDS N ACTION*

Cost All meals are $4 per person, with a $20 cap for families.

Li’l Kids-N-Action will be learning portions of James chapter 5, as they hear stories of kids in the Bible who demonstrated faith-in-action!

Imagine: A gourmet chef, a quality meal, a dinner with family and friends at a really low price and no dirty dishes to clean up afterwards. Every week at Wednesday Fellowship Dinner, you get just that. We feature two options: WFD Dinner: Main entrée of the night with sides, roll and salad bar Youngster’s Buffet (Ages 16 and under): Choice of one entrée and three sides or two entrées and one side.

Wednesday Night Bible Study Adults | 6:40-7:50pm | Room 121 First Unit: More Defining Moments in Church History with Herb Merrill As the Church, we are not just the beneficiaries of redemptive history, but participants in it. In this study we will survey the last 2,000 years of our participation, focusing on the major events and theological movements that shaped the Church.

In the process we’ll find inspiration, guidance, understanding, and role models as we strive to be Christ’s Church.

We will visit some new moments in 2013 (not discussed last year) such as the Church fathers, Monasticism, the Wesley brothers, and the modern missionary movement as well as revisit some old moments from 2012 such as the Protestant Reformation, the Puritans, and the Great Awakenings.

• Teen MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Teen Moms (13-21) | 6:40-7:50pm | Room 123

Teens MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) is here to come alongside teens during this season of early mothering to give them the support and resources needed to be great moms. Free childcare. Contact Marcy (marcysobczak@hotmail.com) to register.
