'MOMENTS FOR MISSION' CACC: Mt. Calvary has been a member church with Churches Affiliated Child Care Center( CACCC ) for 30 years. Over those 30 years many changes have taken place. The center started by offering affordable day care to the Camp Hill community. At some point they added a summer camp program and then before and after school latch key programs. It also expanded to having a facility in Enola further servicing the West Shore. The Camp Hill facility had been located at Camp Hill United Methodist Church but last year the church asked CACCC to relocate as they needed the space. Moving forward the board of CACCC has found a property for relocation. The vestry has approved $2,000 toward this effort. However, there are still funds needed. We, as a congregation, are being challenged to match the Vestry. Please consider contributing to this effort. Envelopes have been provided and a basket will be available at coffee hour and in the Narthex. If you are using a check, please note in the memo section that it is for CACCC. The children of CACCC thank you!!!
