When asked this summer about what you valued highly in our common life, "opportunities for fellowship" was one response given again and again.
Don't miss these upcoming fellowship events:
- Sci-Fi Geek Night - tomorrow, Oct. 14, at 6 PM. Bring $5 for pizza and enjoy The Haunting (PG-13, 1999).
- Family Movie Night - Saturday, Oct. 15, at 6 PM. We'll be chipping in for pizza. Bring non-alcoholic beverages.
- Meet to Eat - November 15 at Kentucky Café, meeting 5:30 at Calvary to car pool.
Mark your calendars! Your vestry has also scheduled a Parish Holiday Dinner on Thursday, December 8. Details coming soon.
Wishing you every blessing,
Mtr. TJ
Pastoral Care updates
: Martha Ross is healing following a bad fall ending in a bump on the head, a swollen hip, and about 100 stitches in one leg. Remarkably, she is getting around well and suffered no broken bones. Cathy Childers is part of a clinical trial at UK Hospital which holds the possibility that she will be cancer-free in six weeks. Unfortunately, husband Steve suffered a bad fall while with her and is currently at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington. Please continue to pray for Martha, Cathy, and Steve as they heal.
Budget preparations for 2017 are under way! Please return your pledge card. We'll celebrate the ingathering of pledges on Sunday, Oct. 16, with a parish potluck. Calvary will supply fried chicken. Bring your favorite covered dish!

Opportunities to Share the Love of Christ

In the 2016-17 school year, Calvary's Blessings in a Backpack program hopes to feed 200 children at Crabbe Elementary School, Ashland Independent Schools Head Start, and Ashland Child Development Center on weekends!

October 19, 26
