Yay for an amazing night at AWANA in the Heights! Thank you all for any prayer and encourgement you gave on behalf of the 3rd and 4th grade boys class. They had a GREAT night! I was so pleased with them all around! The best behavior I think I could have asked for. AND another excellent trip on the bus! I am so proud and so blessed by the children of Calvary. Wow... just wow...
As a reminder to everyone we are going to be taking a few weeks off of AWANA in the Heights. Regular AWANA will start back up on JANUARY 18th! There will also be a required training night for volunteers on January 11th! Look for more details on the training. (There will be different sections for different groups of volunteers... as I said, more information will come shortly.)
THIS SUNDAY, CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT 4:30 PM IN THE CALVARY SANCTUARY!

Childcare/Fundraiser!
This note is especially for those parents that need a night out AND would like the money they spend on childcare to go to a good cause! Brian and the high school youth group are going to be holding a different kind of fundraiser this THURSDAY December 22nd. It's a pretty awesome fundraiser because it doesn't require you to BUY or DO anything! Actually, it PROVIDES you with a night out! From 5pm until 9pm you may come to Calvary and after delivering your children to Brian's trusty hands (he will have other adult leaders as well as high school student workers present to hang out with the kids) you are free to have a night off! The suggested minimum donation for this service is $5 per family per hour (maximum $1,000 an hour... hehe) but keep in mind this is a fundraiser! All funds will go towards the high school summer mission trip to Chicago as well as the high school trip to the GENESIS Conference in Traverse City in March. So bring your kids on over to Calvary, take some time to have a date night or do some Christmas shopping, and donate to a great cause! Again this will take place THURSDAY, December 22nd from 5pm-9pm at Calvary.

News!
Hello everyone! Christmas is quickly approaching! I can not believe how quickly actually. I am not prepared at all. And before you know it it'll be 2012! Yikes!
Anyway, a couple reminders. Sunday, December 18, at 4:30 pm the amazing children of Calvary will be putting on a Christmas Celebration as we remember the birth of baby Jesus. They have been working hard on their parts of the program and would love to have all of you there to celebrate with them!
As always, the Children of Calvary need YOU! As many of you know, one of the best ways to tell children just how much you love them is to take time out of your busy lives to hang out with them. So, please consider teaching a Sunday School lesson or just coming and helping out on Wednesday nights next semester. I could definitely use you! And more importantly the children of Calvary could use your love and attention!
Finally, Brian and I have an announcement for Blacktop. As summer approaches we are working to get the major details and volunteers lined up. Like past summers we will be hiring two Americorps staff to work with us at Blacktop. To that end I would like to encourage you to mention these positions to anyone around college age that might be interested in getting experience working with children. Please feel free to direct anyone that is interested to Brian or I and we can help them from there!
I hope this post finds everyone well as you enjoy your loved ones this Christmas season. :o)
