For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Romans 8:2-17 (NASB1995)

Our next 5th Sunday Service will be on November 30, when we gather for one combined worship service at 10:30 a.m. Before we come together in the sanctuary, everyone is invited to enjoy a time of fellowship starting at 9:00 a.m. in the fellowship center. Light breakfast refreshments will be available, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect across generations and share in the joy of community.

THANK YOU!
Dear Beloved Calvary Family,
On behalf of the entire Pastoral Team, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your gracious support and generous financial gift. Your kindness is a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love in action, and it strengthens our hearts as we continue to serve and shepherd the body of Christ at Calvary.
Your faithfulness encourages us towards the great commission God has entrusted to us—to share the Gospel, care for one another, and reach our community with His love. We are humbled and encouraged by your partnership in ministry.
As the Apostle Paul wrote:
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." — Philippians 1:3–5 (NIV)
May the Lord bless you abundantly for your generosity, and may His peace and joy overflow in your lives.
With love and gratitude,
Pastor’s Bret, David, Jeff, Dan, Santiago and Jim
Opportunities to Serve
Today is the final day to drop off your filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Please place them in the Library. As these gifts make their way around the world, pray that hearts will be open to the Gospel message shared through them.
If you’d like to get involved in other ways, consider adopting a shoebox to help cover the $10 shipping and related costs for boxes packed by those unable to give. You can learn more by searching “Ways to Give” at samaritanspurse.org/occ.
Another option is to Build a Shoebox Online. Simply choose items from a list, and a box will be packed and sent to children in hard-to-reach and remote locations. To participate, search “Build a Shoebox!” at samaritanspurse.org/occ.
