Children's Bags Worship bags are available for our youngest worshipers in the back of the sanctuary. These bags have books, crayons, coloring books, and sometimes a special thing like a magnifying glass during Lent or wonderful green and red pipe cleaners during Advent. If you are out and see a great Bible coloring book, or a children's book that would fit, crayons or some quiet activity, please know we'd love to add those to the children's worship bags! Donations can be left in the preschool office.

Donations Needed... Grace Ministries, a Hispanic Ministry in our district, collects food and "goodies" to distribute to the community twice a month. Our outreach ministry at Calvary would like to ask our congregation to bring in packs of toilet paper each month to distribute to the 130 families that come on the third Saturday of the month to Arlington UMC. A box is located in Harris Hall for your donations. Bob Weick
Christian Literature for Prisoners Did you know that Calvary is one of the leaders providing of Christian literature for prisoners at the Arlington jail? Well we are thankful to the many persons who have contributed to a project initiated by Dottie Cumings, but more literature is needed. As you contemplate Spring cleaning, please remember to put your old Upper Rooms, Guideposts, Decision magazines, Bibles, and other Christian materials in the box on the floor of the closet by the steps between Harris Hall and the church office for Walt Baumann to take the jail to be distributed by the Chaplain.
