BAPTISM OPPORTUNITIES

Baptism is a way for you and/or your kids to make a bold community statement that they are on the journey with the rest of us following Jesus' way. Late this summer, there will an opportunity to be baptized either in Lake Superior at Family Camp (August 17) or at a special outdoor service at William O'Brien State Park with the entire church community in Sept.

JOIN US SEPT 7 AT WILLIAM O'BRIEN STATE PARK FOR OUTDOOR SERVICE, BAPTISM, & CHURCH PICNIC

The park is fully accessible with ample bathrooms, a fishing dock, lake and beach, lovely campsites, and boat rentals. We will arrange rides (or a bus) from Calvary to help folks attend this special day away together.

CAMPING OPPORTUNITIES
