Do you remember "All Skates"?
Dear Calvary Family,
If you remember when the roller skate rink was the cool place to be, then you likely remember the “all skate” sessions. They would have certain times where they’d put on the most popular song and say, “you better lace up your skates and hit the rink because this one’s an all skate. That meant it was time for everybody to join in and skate together.
There’s a few things each year where Calvary Church rallies together for an “all skate” even if they don’t include any roller skating at all. We have a couple of those coming up soon. The Christmas Tree Lighting on December 3rd, but even sooner than that is….
Light the Night!
Light the Night is our incredible Fall Festival on October 31st at 5:30pm. Thousands of people from our community will come out for a safe night of fun and more importantly, candy!
We need your help! This is an ALL SKATE. We need everybody to pitch in to put on this great outreach event for free. You can donate candy and cakes, serve at the event, invite people to join the fun, and seek the Lord in prayer for Light the Night.
Donate candy, cakes and cupcakes:
Candy can be dropped off anytime at the church offices, or from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm on October 30 and on October 31. We’re looking for miniature chocolates and/or fruity chews like Skittles, Starburst etc. We also need 500 cakes and 300 frosted cupcakes for the Cake Walk and Cupcake Walk. “Curbside” drop-off is available in the Wellington parking lot 9:00 am - 5:00 pm on October 30 and on October 31.
Serve on a volunteer team:
Volunteers are needed in all areas during both shifts (5:15-7:00 pm & 7:00-8:45 pm) to help staff Lil' Light the Night, greeting guests, security and other areas. Sign up in Family Ministries during the week, or in the lobby on Sundays. You may also contact us at 714.550.2429. We also need help with Clean-up + Tear-down immediately after Light the Night starting at 8:30 pm. Stay and help for just a little bit or until we're wrapped up by 10:00 pm.
Help spread the word:
Reach out and invite your friends, family and neighbors to come enjoy Light the Night! It's a FREE party for the whole family with fun attractions, game booths, tons of candy, delicious food trucks, live entertainment and more! There will also be a special carnival area just for preschoolers and kindergartners. And, we'll even have a Trackless Train that will be giving out rides on campus all night.
Pray for Light the Night:
Pray for all those involved, for safety on our campus, and for a night of fun and blessing to our community.
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
Eric
