After salvation, baptism is an important next step for the believer in Christ. By obeying Christ’s command, you are publicly declaring your identity with Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Our next baptism service will be Sunday morning, December 6. Please contact Ana Ruggles in the Church Office if you are interested. There are two required meetings prior to Baptism Sunday so please sign up by Tuesday, October 20.
October is Pastor Appreciation month. The Pastors will be honored during the morning services on November 1. Please consider contributing to a love offering for them to express our thanksgiving for their service to the Lord here at Calvary. Please mark a separate envelope with 'Pastor Appreciation" and put it in the offering. Alternatively, you can give online through the church website or the church REALM database. Select 'Other Projects' and insert 'Pastor Appreciation' into the memo box that appears. These donations will be tax deductible as they will be taxable income to the Pastors.
