Year End Giving Project
It is with joy that we have watched God bless Leon de Juda, Calvary’s outreach ministry to the South West Michigan Hispanic community. This fall it became apparent that there is no longer space in our building for this portion of our congregation to meet for worship on Sunday mornings. The Elders have approved the purchase of a modular building to be placed in the green space near the southeast library entrance. The brothers and sisters of Leon de Juda are thrilled with the opportunity to have a space not only for Sunday mornings but for their multiple ministries throughout the week. The total cost of the modular unit is $200,000. The Elders have established this as our End of the Year Giving Project. Simply designate on your envelope or on electronic gifts: “End of the Year Project.”
Service Opportunities
We are looking for 30 more volunteers to serve in the Nursery on Sunday mornings. There are 16 open slots during the 9:00 a.m. service and 14 slots open during the 10:45 a.m. service. Please contact Hannah Haney or Brooke Bakhuyzen for more information.
Thank You!
Dear Calvary Family,
I was so touched to receive the card notifying me that Calvary Bible Church made a memorial contribution to the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission in my mother’s name. Thank you! My mom would have been so pleased. Thank you for remembering her in that way! The church body have been such a support to us during this time. We are so grateful.
God bless you!
