"Grateful Heart" Weekend

Please bring stewardship commitment cards to altar during offering if you are able.

Operation Christmas Child

Please join us on November 22, 2015 for the Operation Christmas Child packing party during Calvary's Packer Party! We will be packing shoeboxes (and other similar sized boxes) filled with items such as soap, wash clothes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, socks, candy, plus a "WOW" gift for children in need around the world. Samaritan's Purse is the parent organization that has coordinated the delivery of over 124 million gift-filled boxes since 1993. The ultimate goal of Operation Christmas Child is to introduce young hearts to eternal life through Jesus Christ.

A small shoebox can have a big impact! What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out is eternal. Join us in changing children's lives all over the world in Jesus' Name through the power of a simple gift with Operation Christmas Child. Please sign up on the Youth and Family wall located just outside the fellowship hall.

Adult Education Class

As we move forward in life, we often experience or are exposed to numerous feelings, behaviors, or thoughts that can be both confusing and challenging. Many times, we do not know where to go with these feelings or how to deal with them in our daily lives.

The Adult Education class, facilitated by Jim Harrison, will give members an opportunity to explore and discuss these issues from a Christian and Biblical perspective. The format used will be open discussion, allowing us to share with each other how these topics can strengthen our lives and help us grow in our Christian faith.

Please join us on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour to share and grow together.

Topics of discussion can include, but not limited to:

-Change

-Relationships

-Trust

-Values

-Respect

-Anger

-Forgiveness

-Friends/Enemies

-Acceptance

-Truth/Lying

-Fear/Courage

-Guilt
