  • Calvary participates in Thrivent Builds Project Habitat for Humanity Seattle/South King County has purchased a home in the Westway neighborhood in Federal Way. With the support of the Thrivent Builds grant program and Lutheran volunteers from the Federal Way area, this home will be renovated to provide a decent, affordable home for a South King County family. Find out more on "Serving the Community" page.  Calvary is going to the Westway site for a group work project. On June 14th Calvary sent a work team of about 20 people to the site. We got a lot done and had a great time, too! The Red Wagon (a benevolence program we use to collect items monthly during worship at Calvary) will collect items for the houses in July.

  • Reach Out Program Calvary's council is considering a resolution for Calvary to participate in a local program to shelter homeless. We are hoping to begin in October and will need a coordinator and Congregational backing for Calvary to take this on. The plan is to provide a hot dinner, packaged breakfast and sack lunch, and a place to sleep from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. for 25 pre-screened men (plus food for a supervisor) for one month a year. The church could accept responsibility for food and sleep spots at different times during the year, or provide both for one month.

  • Mentoring Ministry  Calvary members have been working hard to develop this program. It will provide coaching and support to create self-sufficiency and self-determination in people who are working to bring permanent change to their lives. The goal is to help individual and/or families make decisions and perform actions that can effectively change their lives and empower them to move beyond poverty. Sandy Harley and Gale Farup reported that the first training session has taken place. We have 7-8 volunteers which looks like the right number. Pastor Doug reported that the second gathering of 10-12 went to Renton to observe the Reach Out Program there. We have scheduled a third mentoring training session for July 10 at 6:00 p.m.. in Learning Center #1. For more information, contact Sandy Harley.
