Calvary Meal Packaging Event Calvary has partnered with Outreach, Inc. to pack 13,000 meals in Harris Hall on Saturday, June 24, 2017 from 9am-noon. These meals will be sent to Haiti. We need at least 60 volunteers to pack the meals. Teams of 8 – 10 people form assembly lines to fill the bags with ingredients; then weigh, seal, and pack them in shipping boxes. Families are invited to participate with parents supervising their children. A video of an Outreach event can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GNU- WT7-VI . Volunteers who can help unload and move bags of ingredients into Harris Hall are needed at 8:30am. Please plan to arrive at 8:45am, but late arrivals can also participate. Please notify Max Westmoreland at [email protected] or telephone 703 819-6949 by June 17 that you will help with the event. Graduates As we say “God’ speed” to those leaving the area this summer, we also offer blessings to those that have graduated and who will be starting a new phase in their life’s journey (college, graduate school, a new job or career, etc.). Be sure to let the church office know before Thursday to be included in the Sunday bulletin. Have You Found Us on Facebook? Here are just a few pictures of activities that have happened recently here at Calvary. On Friday, June 9, Calvary hosted Triple Threat—where 3rd- 6th graders come together for snacks, service, and sillyness. Looks like they had a great time!

Bishop’s Bible Reading Challenge March Reading List In January Bishop Lewis suggested making a resolution to read the Bible together this year. Here is the list for this week. The link backtothebible.org/reading-guide/15/1 will give the reading for each day.
UMCMarket.org Shopping and Supporting Calvary UMC! As an online shopper, you can give “micro-donations” to Calvary through UMCMarket.org: Go to www.umcmarket.org and designate “Calvary Arlington VA” as your organization. When you use UMCMarket.org to shop, a percentage of your purchase (donated by the retailer)– combined with the purchases of others – are donated back to your church. As you make more purchases throughout the year, the process is repeated. Every time we raise $100, a check is sent to the church. Go to www.umcmarket.org and Log in. Be sure to share www.umcmarket.org with family and friends.
