Calvary Connects God calls us to "Love thy neighbor." And what better way to show your love than to volunteer in our community? Every spring, the Calvary Connects Mission Team brings together several exciting opportunities for congregation members and friends to serve our Bay Area neighbors during an entire month. Most -- if not all -- of these organizations need and greatly appreciate assistance year-round, and many volunteers wish to continue their service beyond their efforts with Calvary Connects. Please feel free to visit the sites of Calvary's partner organizations (below) and extend your volunteering efforts throughout the year, and/or contact Brenna Randolph (phone: 415.420.8922), chair of the Calvary Connects Mission Team, to learn more or get involved with Calvary Connects' outreach efforts!
