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, February 27. Please contact Angela Haner or call the church office if you are interested. There are two required meetings prior to Baptism Sunday so please sign up by Tuesday, February 1.

You can still sign up for Go Groups, which are focused on Local evangelistic outreach, by attending the 6:00 p.m. evening service. Groups will meet the last 30 minutes of the Sunday evening service.

Calvary Bible Church packed 1155 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child in 2021! Because of these boxes 1155 children who will have the opportunity to hear the Good News and Great Joy of the Gospel. Our shoeboxes are being delivered to Burundi and Rwanda this year. Please continue to pray for the safe delivery of our boxes and open hearts for the children receiving them. A shoebox can be packed from Calvary's Goal Page here.
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 kitchen 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.”
