He has spent 27 years in fulltime ministry, the last 18 in Washington DC. He and his wife Nora have been members of Calvary Assembly for three years and they are actively involved in the Transitions ministry. Class Title: Philippians, Paul’s Joy Book Paul wrote this short letter to the Philippians while in Prison, a place that would challenge the spirit of the strongest optimist. Paul writes about the joy of the Christian life. The concept of rejoicing, or joy; appears 16 times and the pages radiate the light of joy out of the darkest circumstances. Spend the month of May with Jim and learn how to make joy a trademark of your life. Steve Paquet is a familiar face around Calvary Assembly! Steve and his wife Carol serve on the greeters team and work with the SALT group. Their two children, Jeff & Jenny are also very involved in ministry at Calvary. Steve is starting a New Believer’s Class and it will be a great place to help people who have recently invited Jesus to be their Savior to learn how to start serving Him as Lord.

The Circle Maker— Many of you have heard about or read the book by Mark Batterson. According to the author, “Drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn’t just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God. It’s a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us.” Do you ever sense that there’s far more to prayer, and to God’s vision for your life, than what you’re experiencing? Then we invite you to spend the month of May with Maria Nistri who will be facilitating this class! The Heritage Class is taught by Willie E. Nelson For Men Only… Man In The Mirror Neil Graubner serves on the leadership team for the Men’s Ministries of Calvary University and is passionate about seeing men reach their full potential as Christ followers.
