Mission Presentation and Conversation with Mark Meyer
Sunday, December 8th, in the Sunday School room during the potluck, Mark will be sharing more about his new role with International Student Fellowship on UNL's campus while he (and his family) continues to connect and build relationships with international students and their families. Mark and his family have been a part of Calvary for a number of years now -- let's come on out and support him and hear what God is up to.

Food Fort Angel Tree
We would love your help investing in at risk youth this Christmas! Simply choose a Food Fort Angel off of the Christmas Tree in The Gathering Place and go shopping for a gift in the $20-$30 value range. Staying within this range ensures each child will receive gifts of similar value. Please return gifts wrapped and labeled with the child’s name and site letter found on the original angel. Gifts are due back by Friday, December 13! Questions or concerns can be directed to Michaela Akridge at 402-540-4445 or email lincolnfoodfort@gmail.com.

Advent Education Hour: Preparing All Together
Begins Sunday, December 1, 9:30 am in the
Fellowship Hall
Our kids, youth, and adults will all come together for the 4 weeks of Advent.
Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Longing, Remembering, Games, and Gifts. Each
week will look a little different based on the theme, but we hope it will
be a time of preparation and celebration all together for the coming of Jesus.
Telling old stories. Learning new practices. Hearing something new. And the
opportunity to continue getting to know one another.
Our littlest Sunday School kids (2-6 y/o) will still be dismissed for their own time together after our opening each week.
Kingdom Campaign Ends December 31, 2024
As we conclude the Kingdom Campaign, I want to thank you for your prayers, generosity, and faithful participation. Through your involvement, God has worked in incredible ways, blessing people both within and beyond our Calvary community. Your gifts supported mission leaders, provided care for our neighbors in need, and advanced our shared calling as the people of Christ for the life of the world.
As we prepare for 2025, please note that Kingdom Campaign envelopes included in the offering boxes can be recycled, as only regular giving envelopes will be needed. Thank you again for your generosity and faithfulness. Together, we look forward to the ways God will lead Calvary into the new year!
— Pastor Benjamin Vineyard
