I can't wait for you to see the new and improved plans for our Vision 2020 campus expansion project! Our elder chair, Jon Costas, will introduce the latest plans, which include the many improvements that YOU suggested, this Sunday. Your input has been invaluable to the process, and I can't say thank you enough. With this building expansion, we will be able to see even more lives changed through the gospel of Jesus Christ!
It's going to be a full weekend at Calvary. This Saturday, Emily Freeman is visiting Calvary to encourage and inspire the women of our church. She is the headliner of a great worship and brunch event that the Women's Ministries team has put together! Don't miss this amazing morning where you ladies can unplug from the rest of the world and connect to one another.
Nothing caps the weekend and starts the coming week so well as worshipping God. Plan to be at worship with me this Sunday. It isn't just our building that is being transformed. Let's celebrate that in Christ, we are all made new!
What's New at Calvary...
Women's Ministries: Brunch With Emily Freeman
Author and speaker Emily Freeman will visit Calvary this Saturday, 11.7! Ladies, doors open at 8:30a for a morning of worship with Kurt Felsman followed by teaching and encouragement from Emily. Connect with girlfriends and new friends over brunch, relax, and worship at this special women-only event. Get event details and info on the FUN SWAP, and buy tickets HERE.
Parent Sunday
Parents, get an insider's view of a Sunday morning in Children's Ministries, plus hear how this ministry can partner with your family to influence your children for eternity. Drop your children off at their regular classroom before the 9:45a service, then join Pastor Josh and other parents in The Well at 9:45p for a brief discussion of how CM can work alongside you. The kids will join us for the second half of the service and together we'll worship, play games, and study God's Word! All the details are HERE.
Family Fun Night: Calvary Gives
It's Family Fun Night...with a purpose! First the fun: bring friends and neighbors to Calvary on Saturday, 11.14, from 4p - 6p for fun-filled night of games, laser tag, and bounce houses. Plus don't miss roving magician, Johnny Magic! Then the purpose: bring a donated meal--canned vegetable, boxed stuffing, boxed dessert, and canned or boxed potato and a packet of gravy--for families in need this Thanksgiving season. For more details or to donate now, click HERE. See you there!
Rooted: Strengthening Families
On 11.15, Calvary's disciple-making class, Rooted, offers the second of two classes on Strengthening Families at 9:30a in room 403. Join Pastor Josh Reasoner to talk about how the gospel both guides and helps families.
Enjoying Worship With the Whole Family
Calvary already offers first-class childcare and Sunday morning worship for kids. Now we're excited to introduce two more ways your family can enjoy worship!
The Nursing Mothers Room, located in the north worship center hallway (room 110), is private place for moms caring for their little ones. All three services play in real time on the in-room TV so you don't miss a moment.
The Family Overflow Room, located across from the worship center, is just right for parents caring for a young child who might be feeling noisy or fussy. Be part of the worship service (all three services play in real time on a large screen) while giving your child the attention and wiggle-room he or she needs.
Men's Ministries Event
First Thursday is this week and that means the guys are getting together! Catch up with some other Calvary men at Buffalo Wild Wings tomorrow, 11.5 @ 7p. No RSVP needed. Just show up for some food, drink, and time to enjoy life together.
Young Adult Gathering
If you are a young adult between the ages of 21-35, you are invited to attend the gathering. This evening of dinner and discussion is hosted by Pastor Jon Nitta and is a great opportunity to grow spiritually and to meet new people. Please join us in the Well on Friday, 11.13, from 7-9p.
Prayer Warriors Needed
God, what would you have us do? This fall, we are entering a season of prayer as we ask God to continue to bless our church and to show us what He would have us do in the months and years ahead. One of the first things we're doing is initiating a prayer gathering on Sunday mornings. Join Dan and Candie Blankenburg every Sunday in the church conference room at 9:45a. Come and pray for our church; we need you!
