I attended Calvary’s production of Beauty and the Beast last Saturday with high expectations, and I was not disappointed. What a delightful show! I have, of course, seen the animated Disney version, and I’ve even seen the stage version at a community theatre. However, there is something special about seeing students you know completely transform into characters from a beloved story. The cast and crew did a marvelous job and entertained large crowds for each performance of the first weekend. If you haven’t seen it yet, there are still a few tickets remaining for some shows on this, the final, weekend. As of this writing, Friday is sold out, but tickets will be available at the door for Saturday and Sunday’s performances.

Spring Break is almost here which means the 2017 Chorale Tour kicks off soon. Twenty-two students in the Chorale and six Praise Band members will be performing in the concerts. Each production will have an evangelical theme with a clear presentation of the gospel. The tour will go through Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska, with a majority of the time spent in Utah. There is still an opening for another church along the route. If you are interested, please contact Teresa Purinton, Music Department Office Assistant, at 816-425-6180 for additional information. Please be in prayer for the health and safety of the group while they travel, and click here to see the complete schedule.

Joe Calvary student goes to his mailbox one day and finds a letter saying that his account balance has been paid by an anonymous donor at a time when Joe had no idea how he was going to pay his bill. Do you remember anything like this happening when you were a student? I do! Upon hearing testimony of such an occurrence, I often think about how wonderful it must be to have the financial ability to bless someone in that way. I’m sure many alumni would say that they do not have the means to provide such a blessing; however, that is the beauty of the 2017 Alumni Phone-a-thon. When we combine all of our gifts, whether we’re able to give $5, $25, $100, or $1000, we will be able to bless current and future Calvary students with scholarships.
Our goal is $21,000 ($20,000 for scholarships and $1,000 for the Alumni Induction Luncheon), and as of this writing we are at 62%. Will you help us reach the goal? Click here to donate online today.
Sydney Lindsey and Kristin McGuire made Phone-a-thon calls on Monday evening.
