Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?
James 4:11-12
NEWS
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, August 21. Please contact Angela Haner or call the church office if you are interested. There are two required meetings prior to Baptism Sunday so sign up by Friday, August 5.
Women’s Bibles Studies return this fall on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.! We’re looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and making new friends. There will also be an Infant-PK Children’s program where the children participate in a lesson each week to dig deeper into God’s Word. We’d love for you to come along side us and help minister to these young hearts. Click here to contact Jenna Yetman if you have questions and are able to volunteer in the children’s ministry on these mornings.
Today in the Word daily devotional booklets are available in the oak rack in the lobby.
Opportunities to Serve
Children’s Ministry has immediate needs! For next week Sunday, August 7, there is a need for 15 Helpers. Church Membership is not required to serve; these are helper roles; you won’t be teaching. Please call the Church Office or email Hannah Haney.
The Deacons are looking for a few individuals or families to assist with Communion preparations and clean up. Communion happens on the first Sunday of the month in the morning service w ith set up taking place on Saturday and the third Sunday of the month in the evening service with set up happening earlier that day. Email Ewing Tong if you are interested in serving.
Attention medical personnel! If you are a physician, NP, PA, nurse, EMT, or first responder who desires to serve the congregation, then we could use you on our medical team. The time commitment is minimal (just during the services), and we can work around any schedule or availability. Responsibilities include carrying a radio and responding to any medical emergencies during the service. For more details please contact Andy Yetman.
The Calvary Orchestra will be resuming regular participation in Sunday services in the fall as they also prepare for the Christmas concert. If you play a string, brass, woodwind, or percussion instrument and are interesting in joining the orchestra, please contact Ryan Whitaker. We look forward to hearing from you!
An elderly woman from our church is in need of a ride to church on Sunday mornings. She lives across the street in Sojourners Place. If you would be willing to provide a ride to this woman, contact Dan Johnson at the church office.
Vacation Bible School Recap
We had an average of 257 kids every day with about 120 volunteers. Every single one of those kids heard the Gospel, 15 responded to the invitation and 4 of them prayed to receive Christ! We raised $3,159.19 for Alternatives Pregnancy Care Center and the kids learned the true value of life and what it means to made in God’s image! Thank you all so much for praying! We felt your prayers and many of them were answered! We are already getting excited for VBS 2023!
