Events
Sometimes we need a quiet place to bring what is on our hearts before God. Prayer Ministry Hour is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of the week, sit in the stillness of the Sanctuary, and be prayed for.
When you arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to write a need, burden, hope, or name on a prayer card. Trained prayer ministers will quietly pray over those requests as you sit and reflect. One-on-one prayer is also available for anyone who would like it.
There is nothing you need to prepare, and you do not have to say anything aloud or stay for the entire hour. Simply come, be still, and be prayed for. Prayer Ministry Hour is open to everyone, wherever you may be in your faith journey.
Every 3rd Thursday | 6:30 PM | Sanctuary
Join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and fun at our annual Church Picnic on Sunday, September 20, from 5:00–7:00 PM on the church lawn!
The Congregational Life Committee will provide fried chicken, beverages, plates, and utensils. Everyone attending, including families and individuals, is asked to bring a dish to share according to the first letter of your last name:
A–D: Bring a dessert
E–Z: Bring a side dish
Be sure to bring your lawn chairs or picnic blankets and settle in for the evening. We’ll also have activities for the kids, including a bounce house for younger children and 9-Square.
Some outdoor seating will be available, and if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the picnic indoors.
Come hungry and ready to enjoy a great evening together as a church family!

Who in your life is looking for a place to talk about faith?
Everyone has questions. Whether it’s about the purpose of life, the identity of Jesus, or why it all matters, Alpha provides a safe, no-pressure space to explore those answers.
We are hosting a 4-week Alpha series on Sunday evenings starting Sept. 27 at First &Calvary, and we’re asking our church family to pray and invite a neighbor, a coworker, or a friend, and come with them to Alpha.
If you have never attended in Alpha before and are interested in attending yourself, please feel free to join us. Let’s all be praying for those who will gather around these tables.

On October 22nd Pastor Don will be giving an important update on the Centennial Legacy Campaign and the First & Calvary Foundation will be presenting their annual report on the state of our Foundation. (6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall)
Whether you’re interesting in learning about the Legacy Campaign for the first time or you’re a participant in the campaign interested in learning the latest, this dessert is for you! Come learn more about how we are taking steps to secure the enduring legacy of this 96 year-old congregation.
Everyone’s talking about AI. But very few people are talking about AI theologically. At the next installment of First & Calvary’s Life of the Mind Lecture Series, Rev. Don Everts will present an overview of Pope Leo XIV’s helpful recent encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence, followed by an overview of responses from a reformed/protestant perspective. If you want to know how to use AI for life hacks, this might not be the lecture for you. But if you are interested in a biblically-grounded reflection on AI and all the questions AI raises, mark your calendars: Oct 25, 4pm in the Fellowship Hall of First & Calvary Presbyterian Church.
