Our VBS theme for this year will be "Sky- - -Everything is Possible with God." It has been fun looking over the starter kit and seeing the ideas for missions, games, Bible stories, etc.

 

I am excited to share more details about the theme and hope that many of you will be willing to help make our VBS 2012 a success. On Monday, March 12th, there will be a meeting at 7pm in the conference room. If you are curious about the theme or have questions about where you might help, this is the meeting for you.

 

Hope to see you there,

Girls Basketball Tournament Update

The Calvary Girls Basketball Team fell short this year of advancing through the second round in the annual Girls Basketball Tournament held in Lodi over the weekend. They entered this year's tournament with only six players on the roster. They played well in the first game against the Central Valleys number one seed Saint Peters of Elk Grove but were unable to overcome the depth of the Eagles.

In the second round the "Lady" Cougars were matched against a much taller St John of Bakersfield. The game was closely played throughout much of the first half as Eighth graders Divya Joshi and Jenna DeTurk poured in outside shots. Nicole Mena and Victoria Geter, along with Keianni Gibbs and Angel Aguilar played excellent defense that helped to keep the Eagles in check. But as the game entered the fourth period, the "Saints height proved to be too much for our Calvary Girls as they fell to St John's 34 to 25.
