"Feed the Sheep" Fellowship Luncheons
“If you love me, feed my sheep.”
- John 21:15-19
We are in need of sponsors for January.
For only $70 you, or a group, can provide a light lunch to the people you worship with. Sponsors are responsible for serving the meal and cleaning up the Fellowship Hall and kitchen once the meal is over. The total sponsorship cost is $70. A group can divide the cost among themselves anyway they choose.
If you, or a group, would like to sponsor a fellowship luncheon, the below forms are available next to the Sunday bulletin for you to fill out. Once you have completed the reverse side of the form with all of the required information, please place the form along with the $70 in an offering envelope. You can then place the envelope in the offering plate.
You can also email the required information on the below form to calvaryumcpgh@gmail.com and instructions on sponsorship payment will be emailed to you.
Once the church office receives your sponsorship form, either Doug Lucas or Mike Schnitgen will then contact you with the date of the Sunday that you or your group are to sponsor. Special dietary requests can be discussed at that time.

Wednesdays
Bible Study with Rev. Larry Homitsky
Wednesday Nights at 6:15pm
Location: Calvary UMC Chapel
Join us as we study "Covenant" which is an in-depth group bible study in which people read and discuss the Bible together. The multiple week program discusses books from both testaments-showcasing the interconnectedness of scripture as a whole while demonstrating how the covenant relationship between God and people is woven through the entire Bible. Each session includes a thought-provoking video conversation between biblical scholars that serves as an impetus for further discussion and contemplation among the group members. The belief that it is through conversation together-through community-that we can best discover the Bible’s transformative power. We are planning to have a number of guests from other faiths sharing our common heritage of the Old Testament.
Saturdays
