Team Calvary at Youth Horizon Sun Run 2020
Posted by Alan on February 25, 2020
From the Sun Run Website
2020 EASTER SUN RUN - IMPORTANT EVENT CHANGEDear Easter Sun Run Community,The past week has been full of turmoil and uncertainty for our country, and world. While we are deeply disappointed that we will not be able to host the Easter Sun Run at Sedgwick County Park next month, the mission of the Easter Sun Run will go on, as it is one of our biggest fundraisers for the work of Youth Horizons. I am happy to announce that the Easter Sun Run is going virtual. We are prioritizing health and safety of our runners, volunteers, and staff and are responding to guidance from health and governmental officials.
How will a virtual run work? On the weekend of Easter, instead of gathering to run/walk at Sedgwick County Park, we encourage you to go the distance you registered for, whether that's 2 miles or 10K, and whether that's running, walking, or skipping. Different location (your neighborhood, park, etc.). Same weekend. Same mission. Since this is our 26th year of the race, we see this virtual run as a time for us, as a community, to show our strength in a challenging time, and a chance to get out of the house to run or walk physically with family and friends and virtually with our community around the city and state.
Registrants will still receive a very special t-shirt, a chance at door prizes, and a chance at medals if you choose the option to join the virtual race. Please encourage others who have yet to sign up to still join you!
If running virtually is not of interest to you, you can transfer your registration into a donation to Youth Horizons. That money will go directly to serving at-risk youth in our community and training the adults that work with them to be the best advocates and role models they can be.
Whether you choose to support us by being a virtual runner or by donating, you are supporting our community in big ways and, in partnership with our sponsors, the mission of Youth Horizons and of the Easter Sun Run to fund that mission, will go on. If you have any questions about your registration, please contact us.
Sincerely and so gratefully,
Hayley Kaufman, Marketing Director for Youth Horizons

Marriage Conference - Habits of a Healthy Marriage
Posted by Alan on January 24, 2020
Friday, February 28 | 6:00 - 8:30 pm
Every marriage is guided by a set of habits. The question is: are they healthy habits that result in a God-honoring and joyful marriage, or are they bad habits that lead to a self-centered and strained marriage?
In this new 4-session seminar, pastor, marriage counselor, and best-selling author Dr. Paul Tripp will detail the good habits that need to be planted while identifying the bad habits that need to be uprooted for the marriage of your dreams to blossom.
Childcare will provided both Friday evening and Saturday morning. Sign kids up on the online registration form or on the bulletin board by the church office.
Each child will need to bring a sack lunch for dinner on Friday evening and snacks for Saturday morning.

Good News...Great Joy
Christmas at Calvary is a special time to remember the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The announcement of His birth gave hope to a world bogged down by sin and despair. We hear this good news and can have great joy when we receive God's gift of salvation!
And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Luke 2:10
No Wednesday Prayer Service or Awana Clubs on December 25 or January 1.
