As we have for the previous few years, my wife and I have endeavored to see the nine movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar®.  With ten days remaining and only two movies yet to view, I am confident that we will complete our task.  Reflecting on the films we.... (Read More)

Before Worship...
Everyone is encouraged to be at church on Sunday at 9:30AM, for our Christian Education program.  This year's theme -- "(NOT) MY JOB" -- reminds us that the Bible lists a number of occupations, trades and jobs that can give us insight into how God equips His people and His church.  Each month we will look at a different 'job' that may be ours.  All are welcome to our weekly age-specific classes:
Children: Bible-in-Life class meets in the "Red Carpet
Room" on the church's lower level.
Teens:   Encounter lessons meet in the Conference Room.
Adults:  The Gospel Project for Adults meets in the Parlor. 
At Worship...
Join us for worship at 11AM this Sunday morning.  In addition to prayer and praise, we will have a guest preacher sharing God's word (I hope all will join in welcoming Peter Johnson from GCTS to Calvary).  Come and be blessed!

Weekly Prayer Meeting and Bible Study
"Is anyone among you in trouble?  Let them pray.  Is anyone happy?  Let them sing songs of praise.  Is anyone among you sick?  Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.  If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.  The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. (James 5:13-16)"  
All are welcome to join in bringing the needs of the church and the community before that Lord at the weekly prayer meeting.  This time of intercession is held on Wednesday nights from 7-7:45pm.  If you have a prayer need, e-mail Pastor Mike or call the church offices.
After this time of prayer, on Wednesday nights from 7:45-8:30pm, we take a "Second Look" at Sunday's text and discuss the implications and applications God's word has to our lives. 

NEW Men's Study -- Disciples Path: The Journey Vol. 1
This study will offer a mix of group discussion, personal study, and practical application. It includes questions for reflection, prayer guidance, a session introduction, Scripture passages, commentary, a weekly activities checklist, a Bible reading plan, and devotionals.  There's a disciple-maker inside every Christian. Disciples Path: The Journey is a 4-quarter (13 sessions in each) intentional plan for discipleship that provides a purposeful process for maturing in Christ.  Both new and seasoned disciples will encounter key ideas and practices to help them grow in Christ and as disciple-makers. 
Disciples Path: The Journey has four critical qualities:
The disciple's path is progressive. 
The disciple's path is relational. 
The disciple's path is disciplined. 
The disciple's path is replicable. 
This study will meet every other Tuesday at 7PM and the next meeting will be February 27th.
