PAID SITTERS NEEDED: Calvary is in need of two paid child care providers for a parenting class being run Wednesdays, 9/10/08-12/10/08. The class is from 7-8:30, the child care providers are needed from 6:45-8:45 at the church. $16 per night or $272 for the semester. If you are interested and can begin this Wed, 9/10, that would be great, otherwise you are welcome to begin 9/17. We have two rooms, one with 12 elementary aged children and one with (7) two to four year olds. Choice of room would be available on a first-come basis. Ideally we would love for the providers to be able to work the entire semester, but appreciate any help you can offer so if you are interested in partial dates (every other week, or particular months) please let me know! We are also accepting paid child care provider applications, let me know if you are interested. I send out dates and you simply sign-up if you can help cover an event. You can call (867-5827) or email, killerbl@comcast.net if you are able to help with the class or are interested in joining the pool of providers. Thank you! Laura Kilareski
I'm looking for a responsible, patient, kid-cherishing caregiver to tend to my little ones (5 months and 2 1/2). We are seeking someone with both a vehicle and experience with the infant and toddler set - pay commensurate with qualifications. If you are without transportation, that's not a deal-breaker.

Encore Service Worship Team Gathering
Hey friends, you (and anyone else interested in serving with the worship team at Calvary's Encore Service) is invited to join us for a worship team shindig.
When: Friday, Sept. 19th at 7:30 PM
Where: Ellen Taricani's house (1511 Ash Avenue)
Please strongly consider coming if your heart is to worship with the team up front. While attendance is totally not mandatory, here's some of the things we'd like to discuss:
When: Friday, Sept. 19th at 7:30 PM
Where: Ellen Taricani's house (1511 Ash Avenue)
Please strongly consider coming if your heart is to worship with the team up front. While attendance is totally not mandatory, here's some of the things we'd like to discuss:
- Logistics
- Scheduling
- Set-up/tear-down
- Serving in other ways
Above all, however, we'd like to spend time praying with one another, listening to each other, listening to God, and actually practicing (aka WORSHIPPING) together. As such, we'll probably put a time limit on our "agenda," and instead dedicate the majority of the time to simply spending time together in prayer and worship (perhaps breaking up into small groups?). It will be fun! If there is anything detail (or philosophically) -oriented that you would particularly like to be addressed, please just shoot me an email beforehand. If you have anything else you want to talk about (such as the wisdom of McCain's recent VP pick, Edward Scissorhands, or Kangaroo maternity habits), I would love to hear from you.
Hope to see you there,
Josh Ambrose & Josh Grosser

A brand of shoe created in May 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, a former contestant of reality TV’s “The Amazing Race”.

Helpsline ministry at Calvary: we get requests to help people in the area with moving needs. A few requests have been people from Calvary, but in general they are people in the community who are not physically able to move themselves and do not have family/friends in the area that can help them out. The majority of the moves are usually done on Saturdays (whenever possible) since it makes it easier to find volunteers who work during the week. This is an opportunity to help out when you have time available and does not commit anyone to any specific opportunity or weekend. I send out an email or call to see who might be able to help once there is a move request in with a specific date/time established. If you are interested, physically able and have some Saturdays that are occasionally free, please email (Harry.Miller@raytheon.com) or phone (814-574-3569).

Mocha Club: Is about connecting our community with the community in Africa. You start by giving up $7 a month, the cost of 2 mochas. And you get to pick where that money is going. They have many different ongoing projects around Africa - pick the one that YOU love...(HIV/AIDS, Orphan Care, Child Mothers, Sudan Regrowth, Education, Job Creation). https://www.mochaclub.org/mochaclub/welcome.

The first link will give you more overall info about the course and it's origins. The second link has more info about the whens, wheres and hows of the course that will be taking place in Altoona this fall.

It is hosted by various churches or non-profit organizations around the country.

Helpsline ministry at Calvary: we get requests to help people in the area with moving needs. A few requests have been people from Calvary, but in general they are people in the community who are not physically able to move themselves and do not have family/friends in the area that can help them out. The majority of the moves are usually done on Saturdays (whenever possible) since it makes it easier to find volunteers who work during the week. This is an opportunity to help out when you have time available and does not commit anyone to any specific opportunity or weekend. I send out an email or call to see who might be able to help once there is a move request in with a specific date/time established. If you are interested, physically able and have some Saturdays that are occasionally free, please email (Harry.Miller@raytheon.com) or phone (814-574-3569).

Employment Opportunities
I am looking for someone to babysit for an awesome family that I typically sit for on football weekends. I will be out of town on Labor Day weekend, which is the first home game of the season. The family would need a sitter for Friday night (August 29th) from about 6pm to 11pm and Saturday (August 30th) from about 10am to 4pm (or until the end of the football game, whenever that is). They are three kids-- all girls; the twins are about 2.5 years old now and the baby is about 5 or so months old. The family is from the Philly area, but they visit their in-laws in State College during Penn State football weekends. The sitter would babysit from the in-laws home, which is on Nimitz Ave, very close to Calvary, right off University Drive. Ideally, the sitter would have experience babysitting multiple children (including infants and toddlers). If you would be interested in helping this family during Labor Day weekend (and earning some extra cash), please contact me (Dallas Garner) at 717-572-0364 or dallasgarner@gmail.com. Thank you!
I'm looking for a responsible, patient, kid-cherishing caregiver to tend to my little ones (5 months and 2 1/2). We are seeking someone with both a vehicle and experience with the infant and toddler set - pay commensurate with qualifications. If you are without transportation, that's not a deal-breaker. Email Shelley Curling at shelleycurling@gmail.com.
