We had a wonderful time of fellowship with our youth yesterday! Thank you to all our volunteers who helped to put together this fun day for the youth of Calvary. 

Cavalry Baptist is such a diverse congregation. Celebrating our international dinner was spectacular. Everyone showed up with their favorite dishes. Music playing, all of us singing. It was truly a wonderful time together. Thank you everyone for coming out and sharing your family favorites. It also was a blessing that everyone stayed and worked together to clean up afterwards, too. Very nice to see so many of our church family join in the fun. God bless you and keep you. 

Thank you to everyone who came out for Family Fun Night on Saturday, September 10th. A great time was had by all. Thanks especially to Wendy Wallace, Jane Baumer, and Susan and Bruce Edwards for all of their hard work in planning the event, setting up and cleaning up — and to Susan for the fun games. Thanks also to the grill master, Drew Wright. and his assistant, Fred Ray, best hot dogs ever. We had about 34 attend; 29 adults and 6 kids.

The Calvary Baptist Olympics were held at Family Fun Night! The athletes did great and it was very close... Trisha Armstrong - 1st place; Dan Akaolisa - 2nd place; Naomi Akaolisa - 3rd place; Faith Akaolisa - best all around athlete; and the McCracken family — best all around team!

“It was so nice to have the kids and parents come out for a swim party. We had a fabulous time with lots of laughter. This time we spent together will always be one of my fondest memories of the house on Manor Road.”  Miss Jane

“It was wonderful !!! Beautiful weather, very relaxing, and everyone had a great time! There were 9 kids and 8 adults, I think!”  Miss Susan

Thank you to our talented youth for their fabulous play on Youth Day, May 8th! Special thanks to Susan Edwards and to all those involved for another fantastic performance celebrating our Lord!

The Calvary ladies begin with the preparations and planning of the big event. Excitement fills the air as each lady decides the theme for her own table. They meet several times to discuss the specifics. We call back and forth sharing our ideas and suggestions. Our hearts and our hard work are poured into each and every detail. The night before the tea, the teapot chandelier is hung, the linens are placed and the tables are set. Our social room is transformed into a beautiful tearoom. In the morning, the servers are ready for duty. We are so grateful for all the hard work of everyone involved. We are also thankful to all the ladies who come each year to help support our church. Each year we have raised close to $1500 and the money is used for various projects around the church. We had 92 in attendance this year. Finally, but most importantly, we are thankful that Jesus uses us for His work to share God’s love and further His plan for each of our lives. Wilma M. (keyboard) and Carrie Q. (singer), we applaud you both for being the highlight of our tea. Hats off to our third annual tea! Until next year ladies, God bless you all.
