FIRST SUNDAY WORSHIP
December 7 at 10:15am
A service for all ages, aimed at helping our youngest members
learn about God’s call to worship in community, to hear the word of God, to come to the Lord’s Supper, and to be sent out into a world in need of God’s love.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY FELLOWSHIP
A great week starts with a great Sunday! Join us Sunday, December 21
right after the service for food and fellowship. We hope to see you there!

ADVENT WORSHIP
THE WILL TO DREAM
This Advent, our worship services will center around awakening our imaginations as we prepare to celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas.
In our world today, divisions stretch far and wide, community feels strained and hearts are weary. We are searching not just for answers, but for understanding, healing, and hope. This ache is a holy longing—a sacred desire for a world made whole. From this longing comes the WILL TO DREAM—a persistent courage to imagine, resist, and rebuild a better world.
Joins us each Sunday as we light a candle on our Advent wreath and hear from the prophets-calling us to reconnect with the radical hope that is at the very heart of the Christmas season.

CALVARY CHRISTMAS ANGELS
This year, Calvary will partner with the Rahway Community Action Organization to purchase Christmas presents for children with limited economic resources. Check out the “Angel Tree Ornaments” on the Christmas tree in the narthex. Listed on the tree ornament is the child’s name, age and the requested item. Please purchase the item and return UNWRAPPED to the narthex by December 7th.
