Every Drop Counts! Join Calvary's Extended Blood Drive! We had a great turnout on Homecoming Sunday’s blood drive, collecting 18 units of blood, plus one plasma donation. Thank you to all our donors for helping save lives! The response was so positive that we’ve extended the blood drive, which will be open for the next 30 days (through October 7). Together, our efforts can bring hope and healing to so many! Click to sign up!

FAITH IN ACTION & MISSION FAIR 
Sunday, September 28 • 11am • Calvin Hall

You’re invited to engage your faith in new ways this year. During coffee hour, come connect with newly re-organized church committees and teams, and with our community partners. Our faith community grows in service and there are many ways to do that. Calvary’s new committees will be organized around the following areas: • Mission & Care (formerly Faith in Action) • Faith Formation • Worship & Music • Church Growth & Community Engagement • Governance & Administration There are ways for you to serve and connect on a regular basis, or on more ‘one off’ events. Whatever level of time and talent you would like to share—we have opportunities for that. We will also recognize and give thanks for members and friends – including children and youth – working for equity and justice and showing God’s loving kindness in San Francisco and around the world.

New at Calvary! Calvary Arts Salon - Fridays at 7 pm On Friday, September 26 at 7 pm we are debuting a new program called “Calvary Arts Salon.” Led by Michael Conley and a guest host/facilitator, each salon will take place in the Lounge. With a fire blazing, comfortable seating, and beverages and snacks in hand, we will engage in a thoughtful, free-form discussion around a different theme each session. Calvary members and friends are invited to submit an idea for sharing some kind of arts-related work that you have done or are doing and that you would like to present in this friendly, supportive venue. Your piece of art could be almost anything creative: - a song (either something original or just a song you are learning) - a piece of instrumental music you want to perform - a poem you have written - a short story (like something you would tell on “The Moth Radio Hour”) - a painting/drawing/sketch/sculpture - a craft: needlepoint, knitting, pottery, decoupage, etc. (the list is almost endless) It doesn’t have to be finished or perfect or “performance ready.” This is an opportunity to share something creative with your friends and neighbors and then talk about it. What does it mean to you personally, or more broadly? How does it relate to the evenings theme? What did it make people feel or think, etc.? We plan to feature about 5 or 6 selections on each salon, so space is limited. Please submit your ideas to michaelconley@calpres.org. Each salon will begin at 7:00 pm and will last no longer than two hours. Our first guest host will be none other than Tony Bravo, arts & culture writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. Join us for a time of listening, talking, absorbing, and sharing with each other, exploring challenging issues in a warm and friendly setting, building community and strengthening faith through the lens of art. Friday, September 26: What is art and why does it matter? Friday, November 7: Grief and Loss Friday, February 13: Love (in all its forms) Friday, April 24: Hope
