for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and
possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is
fading away, along with everything that people crave.” 1 John 2:15-17 NLT

Many of our students are trying to figure out “Who am I?” versus “Whose Am I?” Our goal at Calvary is to equip you with resources and thought-provoking questions for you and your children and surround you with a community as you walk through this phase of life.
Meetings will take place in the evenings for 4 Tuesdays this year (see schedule) from 6:00pm - 7:00pm at Calvary Day School in Wilder Chapel, with childcare provided.
All material is created with the help of the Orange Curriculum, Parent Cue, and local pastors.
