Events
DEADLINE EXTENDED: FEB 15
This Lent, we invite you to join a One Another Group—a short-term gathering designed to help you get to know others in our church family while encouraging one another in faith.
For this season, we are excited to dive into a video Bible study based on N.T. Wright’s seminal work, "Surprised by Hope." Together, we will explore the "life after life after death," challenging common assumptions about the afterlife and discovering how the promise of bodily resurrection transforms our mission as a church today.
The Details:
-
Duration: Groups meet for 5 weeks, beginning the week after Ash Wednesday (Feb. 18) and concluding before Holy Week (March 29).
-
How to Join: Sign up using this form by Sunday, February 15.
-
Next Steps: Your group facilitator will contact you shortly after the sign-up deadline with specific meeting details.
-
Childcare: There is on-site childcare available for those attending the Sunday morning group meeting at church.
Interested in Hosting? If you would prefer to host a group with your own circle of friends rather than joining a pre-planned group, we would love to support you! Simply indicate "Host" on the sign-up form, and we will provide you with the video access and leadership resources you need.
Questions? Please reach out to Jamie Swope at j.swope@firstandcalvary.org. We look forward to journeying through Lent together!

For our next Pastor's Book Club, we will be discussing John Piper’s classic, Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist. In a year when we are looking to “deepen our delight” in God, Piper’s biblical reflections are especially helpful. As he writes in the preface, “This is a serious book about being happy in God. It’s about happiness because that is what our Creator commands: “Delight yourself in the Lord” (Ps. 37:4).” Join us to discuss this great book on Wednesday, March 25th at 6:00 PM in the church library.
We hope your family will join us for a celebration of the good news of Easter. Together we will hear the Easter story, and then your child will be able to participate in a variety of fun and creative activities, including music, painting, cookie decorating, and building their own Resurrection Garden, all while following Jesus' journey toward the empty tomb. Children ages 5th grade and under will also have the opportunity to participate in an egg hunt.
We kindly ask that you register online for this event no later than Monday, March 16th. Families who register by the deadline and arrive on time will receive a copy of The Action Bible Easter: 25 Stories about Jesus' Resurrection as a gift from First & Calvary while supplies last.
