Does anyone just love being around 2, 3, 4 and 5 year olds? The Children’s Ministry is looking for teachers for this age group that would commit to teach on Sunday mornings once or twice a month from September - May during the 10:30 a.m. service. We can give you as much help and training as you need and be there to assist along the way. You must be a member, or willing to become a member, of Calvary in order to be a teacher. Helpers are also needed in every age group if that is where God might be leading you. For more information please contact Lora West.
Women’s Bible Studies are preparing to start on Tuesday September 12 and we’re happy to offer childcare again this year! We are in need of helpers to come alongside and help minister to these precious little ones. The childcare will open at 9:15 a.m. so moms have opportunity to grab coffee and fellowship before their study begins. Our morning together will be spent in song, doing crafts, free play and a Bible lesson (that you won’t have to teach!). It is a sweet time together with the kids and other helpers. If you are able and willing to help in this ministry, either weekly or as an as needed fill in, please contact Jenna Yetman or call here for more information.
