Congregational Meeting
In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory.” And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said, “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
Isaiah 6:1-7
NEWS
Sweet and Sour Chicken will be served at the Family Dinner from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., prior to the evening activities on Wednesday. For a gluten or dairy free option complete the online form. Without advanced notification we cannot anticipate the need. To ensure we have enough food, we ask everyone to sign up in advance (no later than 9:00 a.m. Wednesday), by noting on a Calvary Connection card, calling the Church Office or by Clicking Here. This is always a great time of fellowship before the evening activities begin.
We can thank God together that the End of the Year giving project far exceeded our expectations. We had set a goal of $30,000 to assist 5 families in Europe with the exceptional increases in heating and living expenses caused by the war in Ukraine. Through the generous giving of the congregation a total of $52,185 was received! This allowed us to add another family facing significant needs as well as significantly increase gifts to each of the original families. Please see the thank you notes in the Global Partner Focus from these families included in today’s bulletin.
Please note that we respectfully request that no food or beverages be brought in the sanctuary, with the exception of water in a sealed container. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Completed Nomination Forms for Elders, Deacons, and Treasurer must be returned by Sunday, March 5, and can be dropped off at the Welcome Center or Church Office or placed in Sam Logan’s box in the mailroom. Please pray that godly men are nominated to serve as leaders in our church. Contact Anna in the church office or click here to email if you have any questions.
Our students will be conducting a coin offering next Sunday, March 5 in the morning services. This offering is divided between the youth ministry areas to be used for special purchases. Next Generation Ministries appreciates the coins that you generously donate.

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.

Special Business Meetings
he primary focus of the January 21 Elder retreat was discussion of near-term staffing solutions and longer-term staffing strategies. As part of the Sunday PM service TONIGHT 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.
