On Saturday, May 17th, more than 100 Calvary members and special guests celebrated our 75 years as a church, hosted at the Newark Senior Center and catered by Akeem Washington. Upon arriving, attendees could take fun and crazy pictures at a photo booth. After singing a hymn and eating delicious food, we recognized former and current pastors. We read 3 celebrations / proclamations we received from the American Baptist Historical Society, ABCOPAD, and DE State Representative Cyndie Romer. After being introduced to a new challenge campaign to raise money for the endowment, we heard reflections on Calvary’s history in 25-year segments from three different members, and ended by singing Blest Be the Tie. The program was video recorded and that will be made available soon. We will also host a condensed version of the celebration at a luncheon after worship on June 8th.
