Calvary Church Vandalism Recovery

"A Community United in Community Caring"
On Sunday, June 4, 2017, Calvary United Church of Christ, in Turtle Creek, was broken into and heavily vandalized. The Church was stripped of its copper pipes and other malicious acts were done throughout the entire church. Due to the damage, the church at this time cannot provide their outreach services including their spaghetti dinner and opportunity shop.
Calvary United Church of Christ has served the Turtle Creek community since 1882. Community ministries have included informational meetings on various topics, a program called "Oasis", providing supportive services to children during school lunch hours.
Today, Calvary United Church of Christ is still providing community support! The Church has been the home of the OPPORTUNITY SHOP since 1972. This shop offers the opportunity to purchase good used clothing for all ages, small household items, bedding, books, toys, and more. The Shop also provides help to "Neighbors in Need", for any victims of fire, abused women, and others. Not only does the Shop help local residents, it also provides many items and services to homeless Veterans, with the help of the Aspinwall VA. The Turtle Creek Community considers the shop a true blessing to the community and surrounding areas.
The small 15 member fellowship desires to continue serving the community just as it has since 1882. It is confident that with the help of others the services will continue. The congregation will be holding their Sunday services at the Jobe Funeral Home in Turtle Creek.
