Pledge Cards and Time and Talent Survey: It’s the time of year to reconsider the gifts we have to offer the church. Thank you for being a vital part of the John Calvin family. Know that, together, WE CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us! Please return your pledge cards by the end of October.
Heritage Sunday is coming up on October 30th, bring a picture, heirloom, or other item to share from your family of origin to share with your church family.
MUSIC UP 
DATE:
Choir is Back!!: You may have noticed that the choir is back! If you’re interested in adding to our small but mighty number, let us know! No previous music experience is required. All we ask is that anyone wanting to sing on Sunday attends rehearsal on the previous Wednesday.
Christmas Cantata: Our Christmas Cantata rehearsals begin November 2nd at 7pm. The cantata will be sung at a joint service with the Chinese Presbyterian Church on December 11th; anyone who wants to sing in the cantata should plan to be at the 5 Wednesday rehearsals between Nov. 2 and Dec. 11 (no rehearsal the day before Thanksgiving). Let Sam and Kelly know if you’d like to participate!
