Grief Share: Loss of a Spouse Seminar

2-Hour Seminar
Sunday, August 9, 2026
12:00pm-2:00pm
Learning Center Room 2
Cost: $10 for workbook


The death of a spouse brings a unique kind of pain. People who are widowed haven’t just lost a loved one—they’ve lost an entire lifestyle. That’s why we offer "Loss of a Spouse". The "Loss of a Spouse" two-hour seminar works just like a typical GriefShare meeting or a "Surviving the Holidays" event, with a short video followed by small-group discussion. The video features expert Christian counselors, authors, and pastors, including new interviews with some of your favorites from the GriefShare curriculum. The cost is $10 for the work book.

FHC: Special Informational Meeting

Sunday, August 16, 2026

Agape Room


We have an exciting opportunity coming up on August 16th.  International Christian Adoptions (ICA) and California Family Life Center (CFLC) are hosting a special information meeting right here at Calvary Murrieta in the Agape Room during third service.  If you have ever wondered about adoption or foster care — or if you just want to learn more — this is the perfect place to start.  You'll be able to ask questions and hear directly from the experts in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.  This is a chance to ask anything you want, hear how the process works, and discern if this is the right step for your family.  Childcare will be provided and lunch will be served.

For more information, contact Kelly at [email protected]

At-Risk Meeting

Every 3rd Sunday of the Month
Sunday, August 16, 2026
3:00pm-5:00pm
Agape Room

Charlotte Paulsen, from International Christian Adoptions, will be discussing some updates on the current refugee situations, the risks they face, and ICA’s current programs and placements. Come learn about upcoming opportunities and ways to be involved. Also, Chris Lick is headed to Nepal! We are excited that Chris will also be sharing about the work Destiny Rescue is doing in Nepal regarding Human Trafficking, and the role he will be taking on. Come hear updates, ways to pray, and how we can partner with Chris and Kelsey.

There are many injustices in the world today and here at Calvary Murrieta we desire to “speak up" for those who can’t speak for themselves and ensure justice for those being crushed. There are many avenues to do this, so we seek ways to help the victims, as well as find ways to help prevent them from becoming one. At Risk meetings is one of those avenues.
