They will be bringing 60 bags with them (which is more than last year) and will be available on Sunday, 12/22. Please limit your order to 3 bags per family so that we can ensure everyone will be able to buy some. You can use this link to purchase your coffee.

January 2-4 or 3-5 for a Short-Term Missionary Trip to CC Stone Mountain Bible College - Looking for some demo-minded folks who would like to roll up their sleeves to do some work on getting the Bible college property ready for next year. They are looking for workers to come on down to help remove a good-sized shed from the property, as they will need the space for something else down the road. CC Stone Mountain has accommodations for us, including a kitchen, so we should be set there. We are looking to go down there to help for 3 days. If you are interested in serving in this opportunity, please email info@calvarychapelfranklin by Monday, December 2.
