This Sunday - Live Worship in the Courtyard
Dear Calvary Family,
In this season we’re planning to offer two ways to participate in Calvary's worship experiences: We will have services outdoors around the Christmas Tree in the Courtyard with in-person music and teaching, as well as services produced for watching online.
So, come join us for our Christmas Series on the gift of God's compassion for a weary world longing for a Savior. Our prayer is that each Sunday morning and special event of this Advent season leads to more of His hope, peace, joy and love in your life. Keep reading to discover more about the opportunities coming up this month:
SUNDAY SERIES
"The Lord longs to be gracious to you, therefore He will rise up to show you compassion." Isaiah 30:18
These words of the ancient prophet Isaiah show the heart of God towards you today. He doesn't just give grace, He longs to be gracious. He doesn't just show compassion, He is on the edge of His seat to eagerly be compassionate to you. That's the heart of the Christmas story as well.
The Christmas story is all about the gift of God's compassion for a weary and hurting world longing for a Savior. Compassion means "to suffer with." Jesus chose to not just suffer for us, but to step down from glory and suffer with us. We have a God who understands us and knows our deepest pains and greatest needs.
SPONSOR A CHILD
This December we will hear about God's compassion for us and how we can both receive that gift and give that gift to others. One way we will have the opportunity to give that gift is through partnering with Compassion International to help sponsor children living in extreme poverty around the world. We have the unique chance to completely transform the lives of 250 kids living in Guatemala. You can begin to find out more at CalvaryLife.org/compassion
MIDWEEK ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
This year, in addition to our Sunday morning services of the Advent Season, we will be doing a Midweek Advent Devotional each Wednesday LIVE at 7:00pm with Pastor Matt Doan and his family on Facebook and Youtube. May the truth shared each week stir your heart’s affection and mind’s attention toward the coming of Jesus Christ. Click the buttons below to connect and join the conversation:

CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT
Come experience a joyful and meaningful celebration around the Christmas Tree in the Courtyard at Calvary Church:

We invite you to celebrate the season at Calvary’s Christmas Candlelight services and wrap up the season of Advent—of waiting and longing for the Messiah’s arrival—by welcoming the coming of Jesus Christ into the world.
Come enjoy Christmas songs, creative elements, a biblical message and the lighting of candles. Because through these moments we will present the good news of Jesus, which is a promise of God’s hope, peace, joy and love.
