Church News

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

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.
