2018 Clay Shoot Held at Powder Creek

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

The first place team (from left: John Oglesby, Cory Trowbridge, Lance Rensberger, and Dr. Bitner) received their trophies from Dr. Hessel (back).

The 2018 Clay Shoot Benefit was held on October 20 at Powder Creek Shooting Park.  This was our fourth annual event, and God once again provided wonderful weather.  Eight teams comprised of 38 individuals participated in the sporting clays competition.  This year the winning team included three Calvary alumni and our Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Teddy Bitner.  Dr. Bitner also won the prizes for best individual shooter and most consecutive hits.  We want to express our appreciation to our sponsors – MidAmericare & Patmos Healthcare, Bushnell, and CZ-USA.  All proceeds from the event will go toward student scholarships.

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Last weekend Calvary’s Theatre Arts Department presented Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

Ann Deever (Mallory Pihl) and Chris Keller (Vincent Matteson)

The story of the play takes place a few years after the end of World War II, so our student body supported the cast and crew by dressing in ‘40s fashion on Friday.  We are thankful for all of the time and effort put in to producing this show by many students and faculty members.

Ann Deever (Mallory Pihl) and Kate Keller (Christy Stone)

George Deever (Zeb Johnson) and Joe Keller (Corey Ruehling)

The play is a tragedy and centers on the Keller family.  It presents thought-provoking themes of family relationships and suicide, and the actors sought to really understand what the world was like during that time period.

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Wade Smith (#12)

In their ninth game of the season, the men’s soccer team earned their first win defeating Barclay on the road by a score of 2-1.  The Warriors had lost by only one point in three previous games, and Coach Daniel Nichols believed that his team was on the way to victory in Haviland.

Ian Montgomery (#4), Masaki Ouchi (#6), and Joshua Tomlinson (#15)

The team will head west to Barclay again for the Midwest Christian College Conference Tournament in two weeks.  In the meantime, they have a home game on Tuesday, October 16 against Kansas Christian and a road trip to Manhattan Christian on October 18.  Please pray for safety as they travel and compete.

Celebrating God’s Blessing at the President’s Dinner

Celebrating God’s Blessing at the President’s Dinner

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Last Thursday almost 200 people joined us for the annual President’s Dinner.  The theme for the evening was “Celebrating God’s Blessing!”  After dinner the program began with two songs by the Chorale.

The Calvary Chorale sang Kum Ba Yah.

Then we presented Hand in Hand Awards to Bill and Debi Keeney and Graham Union Church for their tremendous support of Calvary.

Dr. Cone announced two recent, huge blessings.  First, we have 401 students enrolled in classes right now!  Second, Calvary has been approved to offer a PhD in Bible and Theology launching in January 2019.  Following Dr. Cone we heard testimonies from three students as well as reports about God’s blessings in the Athletic Department, Colorado Innovation Center, and Kansas City campus buildings.

Student Tori Stahr gave a testimony.

The evening concluded with the first performance of Calvary’s new music group, lux voces.  We are thankful for each person who came to celebrate with us and for the students who served in various capacities throughout the event.

Volleyball Team Enjoys Stretch of Home Matches

Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life

Calvary’s volleyball team has just finished seven straight home matches.  They earned two victories and five losses during this homestand.  Coach Ashley Spicer’s team has dealt with some injuries this season, and overall they are a young team.  The Lady Warriors now embark on road trips to Joplin, Missouri; Lincoln, Nebraska; Haviland, Kansas; and Manhattan, Kansas, before returning to Joplin for the MCCC Tournament at the end of October.  Please pray for safety as they travel and compete on the court.
