Upcoming Events & Opportunities
Thanksgiving Offering
Thank you to all who gave towards our Thanksgiving Offering. We have met our goal! If you are still interested in giving, please consider an end of year gift towards our General or Global Ministry Funds.
Christmas at Calvary
We will hold four identical Christmas services on December 23 and 24 at 3:30 and 6:00pm. Between services, Fellowship Hall will be open for food, fellowship, and photo opportunities.
Common Ground
Singles between the ages of 35-60 are invited to a Common Ground Christmas potluck dinner on Sunday, December 21, from 5:00-7:30pm. Join us in the cafe for fellowship and friendship as we celebrate the Savior’s birth. Sign up online to let us know you’re coming and what you plan to bring. After dinner, we plan to group up and drive around the local area to see Christmas lights!
Pastor Fred Raupp
Pastor Fred Raupp has been approved by the Elders to transition into the role of Pastor of Operations and Projects. On staff since June, Fred brings to our team a unique blend of pastoral experience and project management skills. Our church constitution requires two weeks’ notice for member comments. Please direct any thoughts to our elders.
New Podcast Series
This season, we invite you into The Wonder of Christmas—a Pursuing Life podcast series featuring several of our staff, who will share how different aspects of the Christmas story have shaped their lives and faith. Our hope is that their reflections help you see this familiar story with fresh wonder and joy. Tune in every Monday in December, starting December 8!
Homebound Visitation Ministry
Calvary’s homebound visitation ministry seeks to bring encouragement, connection, and joy to those in our church family who can no longer attend due to physical limitations. To learn more about joining a visitation team, click below.
End of Year Giving
As we approach the end of the year, we have an opportunity to thank the Lord for His many blessings through our stewardship. Explore your unique giving opportunities with your financial advisor, or contact our business manager, Dave Hostetter.
December 7
Today’s Resources
This season, we’re exploring the simple, yet life-changing words spoken four times in the Christmas story: Fear Not. We begin with Zechariah and Elizabeth—an older couple who lived faithfully through years of disappointment and unanswered prayer. Their story reminds us that God sees what we carry, hears the cries of our hearts, and continues to work… even when He seems silent.
