Calvary Loves Carver
Calvary Loves Carver is a new local missions initiative for Calvary members. As we come alongside the Carver School faculty & students, we can bring hope to kindergarten students by serving as mentors & tutors. We can give encouragement to faculty who are pouring their lives into the students. And we can help build pride in the school by helping on the grounds.
We need church members who are willing to be Breakfast Buddies, Lunch Buddies, or mentors during weekday mornings or afternoons. If you would like to find out how you can be a part of this local missions effort, contact Dickie Rhea at the church office.
Monday Rock
We still need volunteers to help with our apartment ministry. The leadership team is in place, but we need 2-3 volunteers each week to help with crafts & snacks. If you would be available to help on Monday nights from 6-7 pm, please call the church office

Calvary Bulletin 2-5-2012
January 29, 2012
Dear Calvary Church Family,
Today I am announcing my retirement from Calvary Baptist Church and full-time vocational ministry, effective March 31, 2012. The peace that Debbie and I have about this decision is balanced by the anticipation we both feel as we enter this next season of our lives. Our time and service here with you has been one of great joy, lots of fun, and (as with all of life) seemingly endless transition from one stage to another. We have worshipped, reached out, traveled, planned, celebrated, grieved, married, buried, dedicated, played and sung lots of music, cried, laughed, survived and just about everything else imaginable with you through these years, and in all of this we are forever grateful to have had any positive impact upon your lives. You have certainly loved and cared for us all the way. Those shared experiences have helped to make us (all of us) who we are and have forged relationships and bonds that can never be broken.
The challenges we have faced together through the fire of 1992, pastoral and other staff changes, building programs and just “being the church” have made us stronger and more resilient in our endeavor to be faithful to God’s call on our lives. And now it is time for another challenge. I have always felt and understood that God’s call to serve is dynamic – ever moving and developing since 1972, through seminary and service in six different churches along the way. This time the call is to shift gears and serve from the other side of the pew, from a different perspective.
Calvary is our church home. Tupelo is where we live. We will continue to worship and serve here alongside you. We intend to help you continue to say the same words to those who come Calvary’s way in the future. I don’t know what opportunities for service may come in and around the community, but I will surely not sit idly by and watch the grass grow.
There is much I could say, and much to accomplish before the end of March, so let me close by saying Thank You to a wonderful staff team: David Eldridge and the rest of the ministerial staff, the office staff – Rachel Crocker and Yvonne Merritt in particular; to all who have served alongside me with Senior Adults, and every one of you who ever said Yes when I asked for your help over nearly twenty-one years.
As my Dad used to tell me, let’s “make every lick count” as we move forward together.
With much love and gratitude,
Steve Hurt

Calvary Bulletin 1-29-12
From Your Pastor,
This month during our Sunday morning services we have emphasized the importance of God’s call on our lives to salvation and then to service. He calls us uniquely for salvation and then empowers and equips us to serve Him in our family, church, and community. This morning we desire to help you realize the vast opportunities for service in and through our church.
Last week you received what we call our “Kitchen List” (if you didn’t receive one there are extra copies available). We call it our Kitchen List because the kitchen is a place of service for the nourishment and growth of others. This is a list of church and community ministries that will prayerfully lead to the salvation and discipleship of others in our church and community.
Today you received a response sheet. Place a check mark by the ministry area that you feel God nudging your heart toward in service. You are not committing to anything this morning, just taking the next step to receive more information.
I know that many of you are already active in a variety of ministries. The goal is not to add another “weight” to your already hefty load of service. If you are already faithfully serving in a ministry, feel free to use this as a guide to help someone else get planted in a place where they can serve.
Blessings,
Pastor David
Jail Ministry Training
Today at 4:00 in A203
“And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded” Matthew 10).
When Jesus sent the disciples into the villages to minister, He sent them in pairs (Luke 10:1). Legally, two witnesses brought truth to facts that were told by witnesses. Two traveling together is better than one traveling alone. That is why we send teams of two (2 men/2 women) into the jails. While one teaches, the other prays for the message, the messenger, and the inmates. Therefore, we need two men each Sunday morning, two women each Sunday afternoon, then two men and two women on Thursday nights to go to the Lee County Detention Centers. Interested? If you would like to participate either as a teacher or a prayer partner, plan to attend the training this afternoon.

From Your Pastor,
This month we are emphasizing the biblical truth that God has uniquely equipped His church for service. You have a God-given call on your life to love God and to love others. One of the ways that we fulfill this call is by serving Him in the church and in our community. This morning you have received our “Calvary Kitchen List.” The kitchen is a place of service—where meals get prepared for the nourishment of others. This kitchen list provides a brief summary of many of the ministries in Calvary and our community. Our prayer as a church staff is that you will seek anew and afresh God’s leadership to your unique place of service. Many of you are already faithfully serving in our church or in our community. Praise God! For others this might be a transitional time where you have phased out of a season of ministry and are currently discerning God’s leadership. For some this could be your first step of service. Look over this list and pray for God’s leadership in your life. As we gather together next week you will hear more about how you can take that next step toward His ministry in and through you.Blessings,
Pastor David

Monday Rock will begin Monday, January 23. If you would like to participate in our apartment ministry as a helper, driver or rider, please contact the church office.
Jail Ministry Training
In Jude 22-23 we read “And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.” Jail ministers meet many different kinds of people, but we remember Jesus died so each one could receive eternal life. If you would like to participate in Calvary Baptist’s ministry to inmates in the Lee County Detention centers, plan to attend a training on January 29. For more information, contact the church office. Jail training will be at 4 pm in A203.
