PARENTS:

Send your kids on a mountaintop adventure!

At Rocky Railway VBS, kids discover Jesus' power can pull them through life's ups and downs. Rocky Railway is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch and even taste! Sciencey-Fun Gizmos, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes. We will help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life. Your kids will also help provide alpacas to families in need in Ecuador, South America!

Mark June 22-26 on your calendar! The fun begins at 9 AM each day and will end at 12 noon. For more information call the church office at 858-755-2855 or contact Jeff Moeller at jeffmoeller@calvarylutheranchurch.org.

Bible Explorers - Wednesdays, Gathering Room West, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
It is never too late to join us!

Do you have a desire to dig deeper into what the Bible teaches? Here is your chance.

We have great discussion and insights as we unearth new treasures every week.

There is fellowship, sharing and caring time, and of course – treats.

We are currently discussing Exodus. It is a great book of stories, history, and lessons about God. It is a critical basis for all that we find in the New Testament and in our Christian beliefs. What must it have been like? Four-hundred years as slaves, spared by the angel of death, chased by one of the best armies in existence, wandering for forty years in the desert, eating bug secretions, striking rocks for water, no maps, and led by a guy with a speech impediment.
Joyful Bible Belles - first and third Thursdays, 10 am, Gathering Room West. Our Joyful Bible Belles are studying the book of Esther: the story of how one woman made a difference in the lives of many simply by doing what she knew was right. We are on chapters three and four, and it is not too late to join us. Meet in the Gathering Room West. Facilitated by Carole Hildebrand.
