Calvary Connects - Service Projects Around the Community Calvary Connects was created in 2006 to build a bridge between our congregation and those in our community who need our gifts, our time, and our talents. Our goal is to create pportunities for parishioners to: Experience and follow the lead of Jesus Be involved in something bigger than just ourselves Incorporate the idea of Practices in serving Avoid the feeling of "busy-ness" and just doing tasks o Encourage fellowship and small groups Help "tear down the walls of the church," and practice our faith in the community The Calvary Connects Mission Team provides several exciting opportunities to serve your Bay Area neighbors together into one convenient webpage.
