This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will deliver the Christmas message entitled, "The Absolutes of Christmas". This sermon will remind us through Scriptures the reason God sent His Son, Christ Jesus, to this earth. He will also show us, through the Scripture, of the "absolutes" of God's divine plan for the redemption of mankind, through Jesus' birth, life, and death on the cross as a substitutionary work for our sins. "Man has done the sinning, ... but CHRIST JESUS HAS DONE THE SAVING!" This is the absolute truth declared in God's Word, and it is the absolute truth regarding the message of Christmas! It is worthy of our trust and belief, and deserving of our full acceptance. Please join us on Sunday for this enlightening message. Service begins at 10:30 a.m., in person or online via Facebook. Everyone is welcome!!!
You are invited to join us this Sunday, December 15th, for our Children's Christmas Program! There will be much singing and joy in our hearts as we join the children in sharing our love for our Savior, Jesus Christ! Our service begins at 10:30 a.m. - in person or online via Facebook! You will be blessed!
This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will deliver the message "Christmas's First Hymn" to begin our Christmas season. The focus of the message will remind us of the beauty of the fact that the angel delivered the message of our Savior's birth first to lowly shepherds and was immediately joined by a heavenly host of angels singing and praising God! Wouldn't that have been a sight to behold! Please join us this Sunday to hear this beautiful message. The service begins at 10:30 a.m. in person or online via Facebook. Come with open hearts and you will certainly be blessed!!! Everyone is welcome!
This Sunday, Associate Pastor Craig Ison will be delivering the message "THANKSGIVING TO THE STORY OF REDEMPTION". Life is so busy and chaotic that we can lose our focus on the real reason for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Please join us this Sunday to regain or strengthen your focus back to the reasons we are to be thankful and what Jesus did for us. The Bible states over and over again that we are to be thankful to God, even in the worst of circumstances. Without Jesus's birth, there would be no resurrection. God had a plan before the foundation of the world...His plan for the redemption of mankind is on every page of His Word - from Genesis to Revelation. We welcome you to hear this message on how we can have an even deeper understanding of this time of the year. Everyone is welcome to join us in person or online via Facebook at 10:30 a.m. Happy and blessed Thanksgiving!!!!
This coming Sunday, Pastor Brian will be preaching the fourth and last message in the sermon series - "Are You Resting In God?", based on the Scripture verses found in Hebrews 4:1-11. Ask yourself these questions: "Am I resting in God, or am I finding myself overcome with the oppression of life's routines and monotony? Am I resting in God, or have I forfeited His available rest, by first, not believing in Him, and secondly, by not trusting in Him?" God demonstrated for us that after the completion of our work, we are to take rest in Him. Even our Savior, Jesus Christ, would often go away from the crowds to rest and pray. These messages in this sermon series will provide some Biblical guidance on how you can find the divine rest that can only be found in God. Please join us in person or watch online via Facebook; the service begins at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome. Come with open hearts and open minds to learn how to draw closer to the wonderful, unimaginable rest and peace that He has waiting for you!
A special treat for us -- the children will be singing with the Worship Team this morning!!! Pray for them, that God will bless them and keep them calm as they sing!
Pastor Brian Pinson was out sick last Sunday, so we heard a wonderful message from our Associate Pastor Craig Ison. His message, "The Danger of Self-Reliance", touched many hearts in the congregation. As Christians, we get ourselves in a dangerous place when we think that we are masters of all we survey. God must be first in our devotion and in our priorities!
This coming Sunday, Pastor Brian will be preaching the third message in the sermon series - "Are You Resting In God?", based on the Scripture verses found in Hebrews 4:1-11.

SPECIAL NOTE: Please continue to be in prayer for all of the people who have been victims of the devastation left by Hurricane Helene. Some families are missing and some have lost everything. Many people are stranded with no access to the outside world. Helicopter rescue teams are working vigorously to bring food, basic necessities, and medical supplies to those who are stranded. Injured people are being rescued as quickly as possible. Some communities are being reached by individuals bringing supplies in by pack mules. Individuals, companies, and organizations from all over the country are providing assistance to the victims. Also, remember all those doing some of the most difficult work - fire departments, rescue workers, police force members, power company and construction workers, churches and other non-profit organizations, national guard and other branches of the armed forces, FEMA ... and the list goes on and on. The task of rebuilding and recovering seems insurmountable at the moment. but NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD! Keep your prayers going heavenward!

This Sunday is Fellowship Sunday. This day is a time for sharing our lives with others - our church family and our visitors. There will be a few special activities during the worship service that will highlight some of the ministries here at Calvary and show how we can be the hands and feet of Jesus to others and to engage in activities that make us more effective diciples for Christ. You will also have an opportunity to join in with our Fellowship Dinner right after the morning service. This is a wonderful opportunity to share a meal and create new friendships with each other...all to God's glory! The service will also be online via Facebook at 10:30 a.m. for those who are unable to attend. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
This Sunday, Pastor Brian will continue preaching from Matthew 7:21-23, part of the Sermon on the Mount message from last week. This week's sermon, "I NEVER KNEW YOU", Part 2, will stir your heart to remind each of us that the only way to heaven is to follow the plan of salvation that God provides. God's plan says that we must admit that we are a sinner, confess our sins, believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, accept in our hearts that He came to take away the sins of the world through His death on the cross, and that He rose again. Works "in His name" cannot save us...only the blood of Jesus can blot out our sins and give us redemption. As believers, we must pursue a relationship with God, with Jesus as our mediator before the Father. We can do nothing to save ourselves or make our way into heaven . Living as a true Christian requires transformation from the old sinful life to a new, regenerated life given to us through God's plan...by the sacrificial work Jesus completed on the cross to fulfill the Father's will.
Matthew 7:21 - "Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

Following the leading of the Holy Spirit, last Sunday was a beautiful service of sharing and praying about things in our lives that need God's intervention...sickness, lost family, forgiveness, and life struggles in general. Our faithful God is always ready to hear our prayers because He desires a personal relationship with His creation...His children. The subject of the day was the importance of being a part of God's family and what that actually means to the believer. The service was humbling, reflective, and very inspiring all at the same time!
This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will begin a brand new sermon series on the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 6-7. This sermon is one of the most significant and well-known passages in all of Scripture. It lays out Jesus' moral vision for all of humanity. Jesus emphasizes the importance of love and compassion, humility, selflessness, and forgiveness. He told His followers not to worry about material possessions or outward appearances, but rather to focus on living a humble life of righteousness and integrity. Jesus explains that true happiness and fulfillment for a Christian comes only from being centered on God and from loving others, not from wealth, worldly success, and other aspects of the modern world. As we move forward in these messages, we must continue to examine our own lives using the words of Jesus as our guide. Personal ideas and opinions ebb and flow in our world, but the Word of God, spoken by Jesus Himself in this sermon, will never change.
We welcome you to join us this Sunday at 10:30 a.m., either in person or online via Facebook. Everyone is welcome!
A huge "thank you" to everyone who helped to make our Family Fun Day last Sunday such an amazing experience!!

We are so excited to have a FAMILY FUN DAY at our church this Sunday!!! There will be a message, some praise and worship singing, and prayer during our service. We will also have a lunch, fun and games, and lots of fellowship!!! AND, all of it will be outside! There will be a water slide, a bouncy house, the playground, and snow cones for the "kids" and other activities for the "grownups". We pray for God's blessing to be on our service--He loves when His children come together in love and fellowship, bringing glory to His name!!!
This Sunday we will have our Communion Service during the morning worship time. There will be worship and praise singing, a message from Pastor Brian Pinson, and the serving of The Lord's Supper. Self-reflection should be an ongoing process for all believers. We should be constantly examining our hearts and minds in light of God's Word. We participate in Communion because we are honoring Jesus and what He did for us on the cross. He told the disciples that as often as we do take communion, we are to do it in remembrance of Him. We invite you to join us, either online via Facebook or in person at the Church at 10:30 a.m. Come with clear hearts and minds, and be ready to glorify God!!!
This Sunday, August 11th, our Associate Pastor Craig Ison will be sharing a message about the importance of making God your first priority in your life. In order to grow in godliness in Christ, we must follow His example. That includes how we schedule our time. Jesus set the example in how He spent His time here on earth. Above all else, He placed the most important thing first ... His relationship with the Father. There are numerous accounts where He would seek seclusion so that He could pray and commune with His Father in heaven. Even in the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed to the Father that if there was any way, that the cup (His coming pain and suffering through the crucifixion) would be passed from Him...nevertheless, He prayed that the Father's will would be done.
Putting God's agenda ahead of our own takes deliberate intention and action on our part. We invite you to join us to hear from Pastor Craig how he strives to do just that using the Word of God as the foundation. The service begins at 10:30 a.m., in person or online via Facebook, and everyone is invited!
This Sunday, representatives from Child Evangelism Fellowship will be joining our service to not only tell us about their organization but also to discuss the need to prepare and equip individuals of all ages to spread the Gospel Message to the lost children and teens of the world. There are many children who have never heard about Jesus. Some know His Name, but do not understand the importance of having a "relationship" with Him through salvation and living a transformed life. Jesus loves people of all ages, but He has a special place in His heart for children. As sin, uncertainty, and chaos grows in this world, the greater the need is to tell children about our love for them, but more importantly, about how Jesus loves them so much that He died on the cross for them. We invite you to join us this Sunday to learn more about Child Evangelism Fellowship and their ideas on how we can better reach the children in our community. The service begins at the church at 10:30 a.m. and online via Facebook at the same time. Everyone is welcome!

Verse of the Day
Luke 2:6-7 “While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.”
