Special Mission Fund
Calvin Church is committed to helping people locally and in the region meet their basic needs and respond to crisis. The Special Mission Fund is a fund we use to respond when people are in need. Through this fund we have helped abused women pay for new housing, families in need buy food and other needs, support missionaries, support families in which the primary provider has become suddenly unemployed, pay medical expenses for families facing medical emergencies, help with disaster relief, support medical clinics in Africa, buy sleeping bags for the homeless, support the work of shelters for the homeless and abused women, aid in the building of a library in Columbia, send books to a pastor in Uganda, and so many other needs.

Peace Candles
On the pedestal behind the communion table, you will find peace candles. If you are a visitor to Calvin Church or a member planning to visit another church in the next few weeks, we invite you to take a votive with you. Present it to your church or the one you're visiting on behalf of Calvin Church as a reminder to pray for peace.
