It's time for our spring Servanthood Sunday! This is a day when teams from Calvary go all over our community doing projects - some outside and some inside - hard labor and not so hard labor - but all to love our community in the name of Jesus. Sign up for the project team you want to be a part of. If all the projects you want are filled, sign up under general projects and we will add some more projects. 

Meet at the church at 2 pm for instructions and prayer, and then head out with your team. We will also have some work around the church for those not on community projects.

NOTE: If you are bringing kids with you to a project please do not individually register them because it will confuse the capacities for the number of people needed for each project. When you register there is a space to include names and ages of kids who are participating. 

Afterward, we will all meet back at the church at 5:45 pm for free pizza and a time of sharing stories and pictures from your team project.

Isaiah 117 House Lemonade Stands

This project is a great idea for families to do alone or together with friends. We will provide paper products, lemonade mix, posters, and flyers for kids to set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Isaiah 117 House - a new ministry in Tippecanoe County that helps kids. Learn more about Isaiah 117 House at https://isaiah117house.com/. Contact Amy Anthony at [email protected] for ideas about where to set up a stand or if you want to wait until the summer weather to have an Isaiah 117 House lemonade stand. This is an ongoing fundraiser idea that they do to support the ministry.
