Sunday Morning Education Hour
9:30 A.M. - 10:20 A.M. every Sunday except Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Easter.

The name Akaloo is inspired by the Greek word akolouthein ("to follow") Jesus said to his disciples, "Follow me." Akaloo is based on this simple, yet radical call to discipleship. We invite you to join Calvary members, preschool through adult, as we travel together on this journey of Discovering the Bible, Experiencing God, Becoming a Disciple, Celebrating Church and Embracing the World. ( Registration forms for those age 3 by September 1 through high school are available online.)

We also encourage you to check out Akaloo yourself by visiting the Akaloo web site www.akaloo.org. This exciting program brings faith experiences from Sunday into the home during the week, using online resources and caring conversations between family and friends.
