Dear Calvary Family,

Life with Jesus is truly a life of adventure! And, life with Jesus is the best life we can experience. I was just thinking about the incredible ministries we have at Calvary and the amazing things happening in God’s Kingdom through the people of Calvary. Here is a glimpse into people living on mission for Jesus. I think of...

• Martha Wade bringing hope and healing for people experiencing trauma and loss.
  
  
• Noah Elias coaching non-profit leaders while leading groups of men into a life on mission.
  
  
• Bill Shaw leveraging his decades of walking with Jesus and discipling young men.
  
  
• Jason and Monica Barrientos challenging themselves into leading an Alpha Course table group.
  
  
• Karen Bergstrom multiplying her impact by helping leaders live their mission in a healthy and fruitful way.
  
  
• Steve Esser serving in his retirement years by heading up our Hospital Chaplains ministry.
  
  
• John and Margie Reed investing in other grandparents to care for their families in the same loving and sacrificial way that they have modeled for all of us.
  
  
• Joseph Neal faithfully picking up trash early on Sundays to help provide a safe and beautiful campus.
  
  
• Niccole and Sean Connally being a light for Christ in public education while also caring for their family and bringing awareness for congenital heart defects.
  
  
• Many others reaching out to bless the world with the love and truth of Jesus in words and action.

This is Calvary Church.

• Calvary is also the 68 global partners in 24 different countries taking the gospel to the nations.
  
  
• Calvary is also the 79 people who were baptized in 2025, at the beach and in our worship services.
  
  
• Calvary is also the 2,582 people who celebrated Jesus as our risen King at Calvary on Easter Sunday.
  
  
• Calvary is also the 1,200 boxes of food for families in need this year through our Pop Up Pantry.
  
  
• Calvary is also the 162 volunteers pouring into the next generation in our Kids and Student Ministries.

Calvary is you. Calvary is me. We all have a vital role to play in Calvary Church and beyond.

Would you join us by supporting the work that God is doing in and through Calvary locally and globally? Our General Ministry fund needs $711,000 during December to finish the year on budget and our Reach Missions fund needs $158,000 to support our missionaries. Together, we are trusting God to provide for all our needs as he guides and provides.

We recognize that giving is joyful, but also sacrificial. And, we pray God uses the resources you give to see more people experience life with Jesus in his kingdom, both now and into eternity.You may bring your offering to a service in December, mail your gift to Calvary, or give at CalvaryLife.org/Give.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,
