The Youngs would like to invite you to our Calvary Christmas Eve services at 1p, 3p, & 5p. Worship will be both liturgical and contemporary, and the whole family can worship our God together. We are also enjoying Family Sunday again this weekend at 8:15a, 9:45a, & 11:15a.
We hope your Christmas is filled with lots of joy!
Lionel & Stacy with Fleet & Molly, Rob, & Brad
What's New at Calvary...
Family Sunday
Attention parents of K-5th graders! This Sunday, 12.27, is Family Sunday. Elementary-aged children are invited to join the church family in the Worship Center. Stop by Guest Services to pick up an activity bag for your child to enjoy during the service. The nursery and preschool will be open for infants through 5-year-olds (not yet in kindergarten).
CalvaryLIVE Recording Event
The CalvaryLIVE worship team is recording its second live album on Friday, 1.22, and needs a crowd to add background vocals. We have room for 450 people to lend their voices to the album. More details and tickets are available online.
Lectio Divina: The Bible One Day at a Time
Did you know that Pastor Lionel has written a devotional series to take you through the Bible in a year? Follow the Bible reading plan at Lectio Divina ("divine reading") and get Pastor Lionel's brief commentary on the day's Scripture passages. Visit Lectio Divina to read the daily devotions online, or sign up to receive them in you email inbox beginning January 1.
Parking
The Calvary parking lot fills up this time of year. Calvary staff and leaders are committed to parking in the adjoining TJ Middle School parking lot or across the street at the future Life Change Center on Sundays and during special events. Would you join us? Parking in one of these alternate lots leaves room for our many guests on the main campus.
Calvary Missions Trips 2016
A missions trip is a life-changing experience. The trip plans for 2016 are in place, and there are some exciting options! Travel to Kenya with Calvary men or to Guatemala with Calvary women or students. If you're interested in serving alongside one of Calvary's global ministries partners in 2016, check out the mission trip opportunities available for the year.
GroupLink
One of the best ways to get connected at Calvary Church is through Life Groups, our small group ministry. And we make it as easy as possible to link in. GroupLink is an informal lunch gathering where you can meet some other people who also want to form a smaller community within the church to learn and grow alongside. Childcare is provided. The winter GroupLink is 1.17 from 12:30-2:30p in the gym. Get more information and sign-up online at the GroupLink event page or at Guest Services on Sundays.
Generosity Campaign
We peeked. We admit it. A few of the office staff wondered if the generosity campaign to give away every dollar over the Calvary annual budget was going well. And the answer is YES! Want to see what we did? Look to the right at the giving numbers. Last week's giving was way beyond the average. We are blown away by your generosity! Giving a little more this year means more lives will be changed. Like Pastor Lionel often says, let's finish the year strong. We're all in for God's glory and the joy of others!
