How We Serve the Community
THE POLAR PLUNGE
Each year, the Polar Bear Plunge at Seaside challenges thousands of brave jumpers from
around the state. It's a great way for everyone--individuals, teams, organizations and
businesses--to get involved supporting Special Olympics New Jersey. All funds raised go towards programming and events for thousands of athletes statewide. On February 22, Calvary’s team, the Average Joe’s, will brave the frigid Atlantic to raise money for the Special Olympics: POLAR PLUNGE. Join the team or make a pledge. Captain Tori Gooden can answer any questions you may have or check the web:
Smile Kits and GTWater Filtration Systems
Save the Date – March 9 for our Snack & Pack Party. Join us after the service for fellowship and food as we pack up supplies for Project Smile and send much needed and much appreciated personal hygiene kits to our friends in Haiti and Honduras. Full size toothpaste and individually packaged
toothbrushes are needed. Bring the whole family and friends. The more, the merrier. Did you know that it costs over $60 just to mail each box of
supplies? Cash donations are welcome.
Positive tails
Our Sunday School Kids have been raising funds for Positive Tails, a nonprofit organization that helps provide funding for emergency lifesaving veterinary care for those families who can't afford treatment, or for animals who are abandoned or abused.
A square in The BONE is filled with a sticker when contributions are made. Let's show our love for God's creatures & support our Sunday School's efforts! Look for the special collection jars in the Narthex.
Fun & Fabulous February - A Month of Super Support!
Calvary is participating in the Center for Food Action's Souper Bowl. Please consider purchasing a can(s) of Hearty Soups for out neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Last year we collected 160 cans of soup during January and February. Let's try to beat that number for 2025. GO TEAM!!!
Canned Goods for The Center For Food Action (CFA)
Coming soon in Magnanimous March!
LENT begins on March 9 and we have a special Lenten project - we hope to raise enough money to purchase a GOAT (or Goats). Why goats? Well, goats can live in very challenging terrain and unreliable climates. They can supply a family with fresh milk and nutrition and a means of trade for supporting a community thus, breaking the cycle of hunger and poverty. More information to come. (G.O.A.T- Greatest of All Time!) “Be A GOAT, buy a Goat!"
Our monthly donations to the Center for Food Action in March will focus on cereal and oatmeal but all donations are welcome.
