Weekly Worship Bulletin and Announcements
We are continuing to explore ways to use the projection screens in worship—liturgy, hymns, images, announcements. As good stewards of creation and our finances, we would like to decrease paper and printing costs. So, instead of using a paper bulletin, please try using the screens.
Important announcements can be received through our weekly email, This Week at Calvin, and the Announcements that scroll before the service.
As a new feature, the weekly bulletin and announcements can be found on the web at sundaysatcalvin.org. You are welcome to use your smartphone or tablet in worship, preview the bulletin, or catch up on announcements throughout the week.
And, of course, should you want or need a paper bulletin and announcements sheet, copies will be available.

April Showers
Sundays, April 21st & 28th
Calvin is hosting April Showers for the Washington County Babies First program. We look forward to your donations of new items of clothing, warm pajamas, sleep sacks, developmental toys, and board books for babies or toddlers ages 2 and under. (For safety reasons, we are not requesting blankets.) Gift cards to Target or Fred Meyer are also helpful. The families have loved the knit or crocheted items that send such a symbol of caring and love. Washington County Nurses provide home visitation services to low-income, first-time mothers. The nurses make visits early in the mother’s pregnancy and continue until the child’s second birthday. Our gifts help to benefit this multigenerational program in our community. If you have questions whether the item you have in mind might be appropriate, please contact Anne Wallace, or leave a message at the church office. There will be a table set up in the Fellowship Hall on both Sundays, or you can bring your items by the office. Thank you for your generosity!

One Great Hour of Sharing
Jesus’ ministry was among those who were most vulnerable. He preached good news to the poor and release to the captives. One Great Hour of Sharing helps us share this same good news to those same vulnerable people in our world today: those who are hungry, who are suffering from disaster, who are dealing with oppression and injustice in society. Please pick up a OGHS offering envelope at church and return it with your enclosed gift. Every gift made to this offering will meet the needs of people through life-saving programs: Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People. To Learn more about the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering, click here.

Kirkin' O' the Tartans
Sunday, April 28th | 10:00 am
The Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans is a celebration of our Presbyterian roots, going back to the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century. At that time, the Scottish people expressed their family heritage by wearing their clan tartan in the kirk (church).
Members The Clan Macleay Pipes and Drums, one of the oldest continually existing bagpipe bands in North America, will play during the service. Calvin members Dan and Joyce Dorsett, and their sons, are members of the band.
The Clan Macleay practices each week at Calvin. Click on this Willamette Week link and scroll down until you see the picture of the bagpipers in the sanctuary and the accompanying story.
Calvin members and friends are invited to wear or carry their family tartans on Sunday, April 28, join in the procession led by bagpipes and drums, celebrate our faith tradition and family heritage, and join together as the “Clan of Christ.”
