Silver Linings Cafe

Calvary’s Silver Linings Cafe debuted July 14, 2024 and is a dedicated space for our Calvary Seniors.

Our Pastor Emerita Rev. Mary A. Hulst delights in Calvary’s inclusive, expansive connections to home-centered seniors and kindred folk. Calvary takes seriously the gifts of our seniors, so that seniors do not feel invisible here even though our larger culture may marginalize older adults.

At a staff meeting in summer 2024, Pastor Emerita Mary A. Hulst reported that we needed to be more creative in the ways we minister to seniors. A few days later, our Facilities & Operations Manager Chad H. Lawrence emailed Mary, saying he had pondered the question, and that he found two rooms across from the youth lounge that could be dedicated to Calvary members aged 55+. Chad came up with the name "Silver Linings Cafe" because a worry about our seniors had become a cloud with a silver lining.

Look for events coming up in our church newsletter. Calvary seniors can reserve this space for game day and other fun functions.
