Is it possible to display up and coming Calendar entries on a homepage?

I'm trying to encourage a team unfamiliar with SharePoint to use SharePoint to share knowledge and collaborate as well as using a shared calender as they would their own in Outlook. To try to make site homepage as informative a possible to users, is it possible to display forthcoming team calendar events (the next 5, for example) in a section on the homepage? Any guidance in laymans temrs please - as I'm new to SharePoint. Thanks.
