October 2022

The annual Pumpkin Patch fundraiser is here!

Calvary Youth sell pumpkins throughout the whole month of October to raise money for summer Mission Trips (Middle Schoolers are asked to fill 4 hours, High Schoolers are asked to fill 8 hours, parents are asked to fill 4 hours).

The truck arrives at 430p, and it takes the whole Calvary community to unload and get set up! Wear work clothes and expect to take about 2 to 2.5 hours.

We'll be joining our friends at Andover UMC to package food for Numana, a non-profit that air-drops food into places suffering from food scarcity all across the world!

We will gather at 4p at Calvary (Confirmation Retreat arrives back at the same time), depart at 415, and plan to start the event at 430; packing is planned to end at 630p, and we will return to church after it concludes. Please note that this takes place over the usual dinner time for UMYF, and no meal will be provided this week.

Another part of our annual Fall Mission Trip fundraisers: it's the Fall Festival! We'll facilitate games and a bounce house for kids, put on a freewill-offering bake sale, and hold the second annual Chili Cook-Off to compete for the Golden Ladle!

Families are asked to contribute baked goods: cookies, cakes, pies, etc are great items to include, with goods being individually packaged.

Youth will also be in charge of games/face painting/bounce-house, setup, and tear-down; a signup sheet will be available.

Interested in making a chili for the Cook-Off? Let Tim know!

Calvary Youth invite you to take part in our Fall Festival fundraiser! We will have games and a bounce house for kids, face painting, a bake sale, and our second Chili Cookoff (last year Pastor Mike's "Famous Second-Place Chili" took first place; who will win this year?).

More details are coming soon, but we're heading to a church member's home for a night of food, games, a bonfire, and more! No cost to attend; invite your friends!

All pumpkins must go! Any items left over at 4p on Oct 31 will be disposed of by a local pig farmer, but we need to load the truck and trailer and tear down decorations. Expect cleanup to take appx 2 hours.

We head to Horizon Saturday morning and spend the day in rest, worship, exploration, connection, & fun. We have a bonfire and play night games (Capture the Flag, Romans & Christians), sleep in with daylight savings, and come home Sunday afternoon.
