Calvary's Christmas Tree Lighting is this Saturday!

12/4/25 | The Weekly | by Eric Wakeling

    Dear Calvary Family,

    We have our Christmas Tree Lighting this Saturday at 4:00pm!!!!!

    This event is the most wild and incredible celebration of Christmas we have ever done here at Calvary. It’s also one of the best moments to invite people for their first time to come to church.

    We will have camel rides, pony rides, a petting zoo, an In-n-Out truck, a Living Nativity, cookie decorating, snow, crafts, and a photo booth!!

    There will also be a Christmas for a Cause market with several vendors selling all sorts of unique and quality items that would be great for gifts. A percentage of the profits will go to Olive Crest, which is also what our Toy Drive will be supporting this year!

    You can see all the vendors as well as other information about the Christmas Tree Lighting at CalvaryLife.org/Tree.

    But here’s why this event is also one of the best events to invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. It starts at 4:00pm with all the amazing animals and other fun things, but then at 6:00pm we transition to the Courtyard where we will have hot cocoa, a few raffle prizes, sing some carols, and then hear the Christmas story from Luke 2 and a brief presentation of the Good News of Jesus. Then we light up the tree and celebrate some more!

    All your friends will have so much fun and hear the joy of the birth of Jesus plainly, lovingly, and succinctly. So invite everyone you know!

    See you Saturday!

    May the Lord bless you and keep you,
    Eric Wakeling
