God is still speaking….

January 9 – January 15, 2012

Dear Calvary Memorial,

“ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER”

Look at the Stars!!!

In order to understand the story of the wise men, we need to take out our lawn chairs and look at the stars. The beauty of God’s work refreshes our soul.

CALVARY KIDZ

What an exciting time this is — the beginning of a new year! Some of us make New Year’s Resolutions promising to do things different in the new year. The new year gives us the chance to forget our past mistakes and look forward to doing better in the year ahead.

In our Bible lesson this week, we talked about another new beginning that’s better than the beginning of a new year — it’s the beginning of a new life in Jesus. We learned about how John the Baptist went all around Judea baptizing people who had repented and asked Jesus for forgiveness. They were baptized to show others that God had forgiven their sins and washed them clean for a fresh start in life.

God’s forgiveness gives us a fresh start too — to begin this new year living our life in Christ!

MONTHLY MISSION

We need to re-wax our floors in Fellowship Hall. This means that the old wax needs to be taken off and new wax reapplied. This has not been done in several years. It will cost about $700.00 in supplies and the Council has approved that for the next two months, the monthly mission will support redoing the floor.

ANNUAL MEETING
Sunday, January 29

The Annual Meeting of Calvary Memorial will be held on Sunday, January 29th following the 9:30am worship service.

Constitution By-Law Changes are available in the fellowship hall for your review.
