REFUGEE MINISTRY
Over the last few years we have welcomed 4 refugee families to Colorado and helped them settle in to new lives here. We are looking to build and train a new team of volunteers to welcome a fifth refugee family. If you’re interested in this ministry we have two opportunities for you.
WELCOMING TEAM INFORMATIONAL MEETING
First, we will be having an informational meeting on Sunday, May 19, at 12pm at the Thornton Campus. This is a great opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and let us know you’re interested in joining a team. Lunch is provided.
DONATIONS FOR NEW REFUGEE FAMILY
For those unable to join a welcoming team you can bring donations of household items the new family will need. These can be returned to Calvary on Sunday, May 5.
FOOD FOR HOPE FOOD DRIVE
Another way you can get involved is through our food drive with Food for Hope. This year we will be collecting some of their most needed items for the Spring and Summer. We’re also collecting picnic kits to provide families with the chance to have meaningful memories this summer.
Our food drive will be three weeks: Sundays April 21, 28, and May 5.

THE 6:8 PROJECT
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8
The 6:8 Project is a weekend that we set aside every year to focus on ways we can practice justice and mercy.
Since The 6:8 Project began in 2017 we have packed hundreds of thousands of meals that were sent overseas, we have learned about meeting the physical and spiritual needs of children through the Compassion Experience, we’ve raised funds and awareness about the need for clean drinking water in many parts of the world, and we have helped refugee families as they settle in Colorado. We’ve participated in many other projects that have helped us understand God’s heart for those in need of justice and mercy.
The Prophet Micah tells us what good actions God desires; to DO justice, LOVE mercy and WALK humbly with Him. Why does this please Him? Because it reflects His character. Putting Micah 6:8 into action helps us discover God’s heart and our place in His good purposes.
