Our daughter Josie turned 17 yesterday. She spent most of the day in a car, traveling back from the US Rugby high school national tourney. Our own State High girls rugby team was scrumming it up. They brought home the 6th place trophy, which is pretty stinking impressive. The young Read more
I had a blast with my middle school kids (my personal kids, that is) today at the disc golf course out at Harvest Fields. This might be one of the best-kept secrets in the valley! As the school day ended I shot them an email asking if they’d be up Read more

This past Sunday was incredible! All the Calvary worship gatherings met at Eisenhower to cap off our OneByOne Initiative series. This is so much more than a building fund drive or a capital campaign; we’re talking about resourcing the vision that God has placed on our hearts for Happy Valley and beyond. Read more
This weekend promises to be a significant one in the life of Calvary. Not only is is the last Sunday before finals–which means a bag filled with goodies for every student to help them through the week–it’s also a weekend that we’re combining all of the Calvary worship gatherings. Instead of Read more
I swear I blinked and they were all grown up… Levi is in the final stages of his high school musical run. Not the HSM, though that’d be cool, too. He’s in a couple of fantabulous choirs at State High, and if you’ve never heard the Master Singers or Chamber Singers (seriously, click Read more
