Last days to sign up! College Kids Care Package Ministry Opportunity!
This ministry is intended to encourage our Calvary college students with a card and care package to be delivered before their finals. We want to bless students that are a part of Calvary, whether they are boarded at school or commute from home. These packages are put together and sent by you and will be received by the students before their finals.

This is how this works…
CLICK HERE to get all the information on sending OR receiving a package.
You can send as an individual, a family, or can be a great thing to do as a small group!  In signing up, you are responsible for including a thoughtful note, purchasing the items and then shipping the package.

Some ideas for items…candy, gum, baked goods, laptop decals, water bottles, travel mug, small games, cases (jewelry/accessories), lip balm, gift cards for coffee, etc.
The last day to sign up to send or receive will be March 23rd.
Women’s Ministries will thoughtfully match a sender/sender group with a student and get all information to you no later than March 30th.  Packages are to be sent before Easter, April 20th, so they may be blessed before their finals.

Questions?  Feel free to contact Tracie Durant at womens.ministry@cbcderry.org or cell: 603-770-8299.  Thank you for your consideration in helping to bless our college students!

NEW! Ladies Book Discussion Night: Thursday, May 8th @6:30pm
We will be discussing the book, Kisses from Katie, A story of Relentless Love and Redemption by Katie Davis Majors, our upcoming Ladies Day Apart (LDA) speaker! 
This book was written in 2011, and is Katie’s own story as a courageous 18-year-old from Nashville, who gave up every comfort and convenience to become the adoptive mother to 13 girls in Uganda! It’s a moving and inspiring memoir.  And a great way to get a more familiar with our LDA speaker. 
Here is how to join us…

  • Purchase the book, either new, used, kindle, or audio version. You can find the book on Amazon, Christian Book Distributors, etc.
  • Read the book and be ready to discuss on May 8th.
  • We will meet at the home of Tracie Durant, 19 Taylor Brook Lane, Derry, NH.  Please let Tracie know by May 1st if you plan to attend. Light refreshments will be served. For questions or RSVP: womens.ministry@cbcderry.org or 603-770-8299 (cell).

Hope to see you there! 😀

NEW! Prayer Chain Update
For many years, Linda Illian has faithfully stewarded the ministry of the Prayer chain. What started as a function of Women’s ministries with a telephone call network has grown into a great email ministry. Linda has sent us your prayer requests, and we have been a church that prays for each of you. Linda is passing the baton for our next season of the prayer chain ministry. Starting this Monday, prayer requests will be sent to the church office at  prayerchain@cbcderry.org
The elders of Calvary are so grateful for servants like Linda, who continues to live on a Mission to Glorify God, Love People, and Make Disciples.
Please join us this Sunday as we thank and honor Linda for her many years of service. 

 
NEW Ministry Opportunity
Calvary has the opportunity to host CEF Training this summer and they need your help.
CEF of NH is looking for families in the Derry area to host 2-3 teens in their home from June 16th-26th so that they can learn how to share the Gospel as summer missionaries! Not only is this an opportunity for teens to be involved in children’s ministry, but it is also a wonderful chance to be connected with other believers as we use the gifts God has given us. Teens would go home for the weekend, Friday afternoon, June 20th and return to your home Monday, June 23rd to finish their training. In addition to housing, teens would need rides to and from training each day arriving for training at 8:30am and picked up at 5:15pm. Lunch will be provided, but teens would enjoy breakfast and dinner each day with your family. If you are able to host teens in your home, anyone living at your house 18 years of age or older will need to complete a background check (done through CEF). Thank you for praying over this ministry opportunity and partnering with us to disciple teenagers and to reach NH families with the Gospel!
If you are interested in serving in this way or would like more information please reach out to Rachel Officer at 
office@cefnh.org or 603-369-4566.



We will have a Baptism Celebration on Easter Sunday, April 20th. If you would like to be baptized or just want more information please contact the church office at secretary@cbcderry.org 


Our next discover Calvary class will be held on April 6th. If you would like to join this class click here. This is a great way to learn more about CBC and the first step in becoming a member. If you have any questions please reach out to the church office at secretary@cbcderry.org
