Next Teaching Topic at Calvary
Sunday, February 14 • 9:00 & 11:00 a.m. @ Calvary
Our teaching topic for this Sunday is “Following Jesus in Baptism." We are starting a new teaching series for Lent called "Who Do You Say I Am?” We’ll be looking at the early ministry of Jesus, particularly as Jesus enters into the world of various people in various real life settings.
Jesus entered this world and, in many ways, turned people’s ideas of God on their head. Come and be encouraged and challenged by this examination of Jesus life’, and how this impacts us today!

Sabbath Rest Seminar Opportunity
Friday, March 18 @ Taylor Seminary
Taylor Seminary invites people to a lecture from Dr. Norman Wirzba, who will explore the wisdom and value in the practice of Sabbath rest. There is a renewal that comes from rest that seems to come no other way; it can be argued that this rhythm has been woven deep into the design of creation, and underlies the model for healthy ministry.
