Calvary Christmas Caroling
Wednesday, December 21 • 6:15 p.m. @ Calvary
You are invited to join other Calvary musicians as we spread Christmas cheer by carolling amongst our neighbours, singing many of the old favourites.  Words and music will be provided.  Few people might expect this and yet it’s a great way to celebrate the coming of Jesus.  Everyone's invited!  Hot chocolate and treats to follow!

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service
Saturday, December 24 • 5:00 p.m. @ Calvary
This annual celebration is a shorter service, intended to bring a pause to our pre-Christmas activities.  The service is filled with music, Scripture, reflections, and meaning!   We’ll start at 5:00 p.m. sharp!!  Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so that everyone is settled by the start of the service.

Teaching Topic This Sunday at Calvary
Sunday, December 11 • 9:00 & 11:00 a.m. @ Calvary
This Sunday will be the third Sunday of Advent, in our Advent series: "Who is this King of Glory?"  As we celebrate the Joy of Christmas, we recognize that in the midst of our challenges and struggles our joy is a result of God’s gift to us.  As you prepare for this Sunday, please take time to read Isaiah 12:2 - 6.

Calvary Advent Season Blog
Did you know we have a team of writers posting blogs to our Calvary website each weekday during Advent?  Take some time to read these reflections regularly, and pass them along to others who might also benefit from them.  You can find them at:  www.calvarybaptistedmonton.com/blog/.
