Since 1995, Calvary Church has invited families with "Special Needs" members in the Charlotte area to the Luke 14 Banquet during the Christmas season. These special events include:

• A festive meal, with a member of Calvary hosting each table
• A program with singing, testimonies, and a Gospel message
• A gift for each guest (700+ needed for those who are disabled and their caregivers)

Every year, approximately 300 Calvary volunteers are trained to interact with our guests, who have a wide variety of disabilities. Last year over 650 guests attended.

Each December Calvary offers TWO Luke 14 Banquets to better serve the needs of our many guests: 

Luke 14 Family Banquet
Saturday, December 11
5:30 PM, Crown Room
This dinner is for families with "Special Needs" members. 

Luke 14 Luncheon
Tuesday, December 14
11:30 AM, Crown Room
This luncheon is for "Special Needs" friends in group homes within our community.

The Luke 14 events are truly a highlight of Calvary's Christmas celebrations. As a result, Calvary has a heightened understanding of the needs of families with disabilities and hopefully can minister more effectively in this area.
