Calvary Methodist Church

A Warm Welcome - LENT is here!

We welcome you to our life at Calvary Methodist Church. We are open to Celebrating and Sharing God's Embracing Love in the World together with you. This gives us pleasure to glorify God with other disciples. We see ourselves this year seeking ways of having a "Closer Walk with God". To facilitate this expression of our vision in line with our Core Values of:

• Caring for one another and others beyond Calvary
• Connecting with God, one another and other beyond Calvary
• Creating Opportunities for Spiritual Growth

we are launching our Lent Season on Ash Wednesday, 13 February 2013 at 19H00. We want to offer people an opportunity to Experience Easter through symbols. We will meet every week on Wednesdays and reflect on a symbol that will prepare us for Easter. We encourage people to sign up for Discussion Groups for this period. There will be a light refreshments at 18H00. Kindly bring a donation of not less than R10 if you can to enable us to cater for the rest of the 6 weeks.

We also have a booklet that will help enrich the discussions as people will reflect and prepare at home before coming to the group discussions. We encourage you get a copy on or before Wednesday, 13 February 2013.

We look forward to journeying with you this 2013 Lent Season. Lent for us is not just about giving up coffee, meat, sugar or any of the things that people often give up, but we couple this with giving up something that will help us to be tranformed and take something that will enrich our relationship with Christ. We encourage you to seriously consider setting aside 2 hours for the next 6 weeks from 19H00-21H00. We can only promise more of God's presence in your life as you walk closer with God over this Lent Season. Begin the year by allowing God to touch your life together with us. It is the best gift we can offer one another - an experience of God's presence in our lives.
