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.

No Sunday Service on December 25!
There will be no worship service at Calvary on Sunday, December 25.  We will come together instead for a Worship & Candlelight service on Christmas Eve.  Many of our ministry volunteers will be away on that weekend, and we are encouraging our Calvary family to spend time with their families and other people of significance on that Sunday.

Celebration Sunday Coming Up
Sunday, January 1 • 10:00 a.m. @ Calvary
Don’t miss the numerous testimonies that will be shared in our Sunday service on January 1!  This first Sunday of our New Year will be a time of celebrating God's kindness and faithfulness throughout 2016.  We encourage everyone to take some time throughout the holiday season to reflect back on the past year and recall the ways in which God has shown his faithfulness to you.

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/.
