There is ample living space. We have satellite TV, phone, and wireless internet. No charge for parking (may have garage space available). Some furnishings for one bedroom are available if needed. The tenant would have free use of kitchen area, washer and dryer, and storage space in basement. I have 1 acre of land with a dedicated garden space.

Help with set-up & tear-down for Good Friday event

4/1 & 4/2

Each year for past few years we've hosted an event at Calvary that has been very meaningful in the lives of people who call Calvary their church home and for many others in the community. On Good Friday we open the church building all day long for people to be able to go through a series of unique and personal prayer events that follow through the final hours of Christ's life leading up to the crucifixion. Each year some of the prayer stations remain the same and a few of them change in order to keep pieces of the experience fresh.

Because these prayer stations are set up all over the building we need lots of hands on Thursday evening (following our Maundy Thursday service - Approx. 8:30pm) to set up each station and get things ready to roll when the doors open on Friday morning. We also have a great need for lots of hands again on Friday evening when it's time to tear down everything, clean up behind ourselves and make each room look "normal".

If any of you would be willing to come out and help it would be greatly appreciated! Please reply with a quick e-mail to let Kim Dick know if you plan to jump in on Thursday at 8:30pm to help with set up or on Friday at 9pm to help with tear down. You can send your e-mail response to kim@calvarysc.org. Feel free to e-mail her with any questions you may have also!

ThirdPlace Prayer Retreat Saturday, April 10th at 8:30am-12:30pm at 1250 University Drive:
With guest facilitators Steve & Kay Heinz, the prayer retreat will be a unified time of corporate prayer and worship combined with solitude and time for reflection and connecting with God!

We'll join together in prayer that morning in Fellowship Hall at 1250 University Drive for a time of worship and corporate prayer from 8:30am-9:30am. Then we will break off for a time of reflection and solitude and you can go wherever you want (indoors or outdoors) and find some time to pray, journal, paint, sing...whatever you prefer! (9:30am-11:00am). We will come together then at 11:00am in Fellowship Hall for a time of sharing, corporate worship and prayer. There will be some prayer guides made available to help better guide your time alone; feel free to use them or do your own thing. Bring whatever supplies you'll need (journal, paints, music, etc) and join us for an exciting time to "unite in prayer" for the World, our community, and each other!

Don't miss this opportunity, it's a great way to connect with God and others! Breakfast, coffee, and tea will be provided :)
Please RSVP: thirdplace@calvarysc.org.

Also, we are putting together a selection of writings, blog entries, poems, songs, reflections, etc. written by various people in ThirdPlace to include in the Prayer Guides under "Thoughts & Reflections"....we really believe that we're all gifted in various ways and can really learn so much from each other. So please share with us, it's such a blessing...we would love to include your thoughts and reflections!!!

Please send that to Katy Stubanas by Wednesday, April 7th. (If any of you have anything you'd like to include/share, please send it to Katy! We are so blessed by the various gifts that God gives to the body, so share with us! You have no idea how God can use that to bless others!)

ThirdPlace Broomball @ PSU Ice Rink!

Saturday, April 24th at 10:00pm: Broomball at the Penn State Ice Pavilion!! What is Broomball you might be asking? Well, it's a Penn State tradition and an absolute BLAST!!

Basically, you have two teams with a bunch of brooms and balls...everyone is on the ice with sneakers on and you try to get as many of your pucks in the other teams nets...it's a bizarre ice sport, but we think it's fabulous!! I know it's late, but that's part of the experience (it's always a late night event because it takes them some time to get the rink broomball ready!). So, get your game face on and take it out on the ice! The cost is $3 per person. Please RSVP to: thirdplace@calvarysc.org by this Friday, April 23rd so we know how many teams we have. And please feel free to invite anyone you want, the more players, the better!"

The 'Reel Jesus' Film Festival at State Theatre

The 'Reel Jesus' Film Festival
Gospels on the Screen

'A series of films and forums exploring the various representations of Jesus -- from the reverential to the controversial -- on the silver screen.'
Brainstorming began among the State Theatre Film Collective of a film or collection of films to pique the interest of community movie-goers. At this time it was shortly after Easter and the thought of religion in film was brought to the table. There are many community members that are interested in the topic of religion.
We think these movies will appeal to a broad audience, not just those sitting in pews or congregations but also film buffs and cultural critics among us.

Shows begin at 7 pm.
There will be a 10 minute 'debrief' followed by a 30-40 minute Q & A for each selection.
$5*, $3* Students
