Let me sing now for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning His vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill. He dug it all around, removed its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine. And he built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat in it; Then He expected it to produce good grapes, but it produced only worthless ones. “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between Me and My vineyard: What more was there to do for MY vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless ones?
Isaiah 5:1-4

We have sent wooden cars in our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes for years. Unfortunately the men's group that made them for us has disbanded. If you are a woodworker would you consider making 100-200 of these cars for Calvary's shoeboxes that are sent out in November? Please contact Pam Wilkinson if interested.
Our Daily Bread is available in the oak rack near the nursery hallway or in the spindles in the lobby entryways.

Opportunities to Serve
Children’s Ministry is still looking for volunteers to minister to the Children of Calvary Bible Church! Nursery is in need of 13 adult volunteers (8 on Sunday mornings, 1 on Sunday nights and 4 on Wednesday nights). Our Sunday School Classes still need 4 adult volunteers (1 Teacher and 4 Helpers). These classes and nurseries cannot open without the volunteers needed to staff them. Please consider serving, twice a month or even once a month. Anything is a blessing. For more information contact Hannah Haney, or call the Church Office.

Special Business Meetings
The primary focus of the January 21 Elder retreat was discussion of near-term staffing solutions and longer-term staffing strategies. A presentation to the congregation with more details will be included in both AM services on February 26th. As part of the Sunday PM service on February 26 there will be a Special Business Meeting to provide members the opportunity to hear from internal pastoral candidates and ask questions. A subsequent Special Business Meeting will be held on the morning of March 19 to conduct a congregational vote. Please be in prayer for the process, and that the decisions we make together will help us accomplish our mission to “multiply disciples who glorify God by going to all peoples, gathering in community, and growing in Christ.

Thank you for the Christmas gift this year. It comes at a needed time as a blessing and provision. - Karen Platte
