Isn't it wonderful to be apart of an active church? So much so that we haven't been able to participate in everything. Here are a few pics and video to share with you.

Missions is a very important ministry of Calvary. Our pastor takes missions VERY seriously. Besides going on a mission trip each year, our church supports over 100 active, soul winning missionaries all over the world. In the budget for 2010, our church will give $150,000 to support our missionaries! The church takes the month of Feb. and focuses on missions. Many sermons and lessons are centered on missions. We have many missionaries from around the globe visit our church to give a status update. We set aside one evening to have an International Finger Food Fellowship. Each Sunday school class gets a region to set up a table with goods and food from that area. Unfortunately, our Missionary Sunday took place on a Sunday when our area received over a foot of snow. We went to church that morning and we blessed to hear from 4 missionaries, I think. Others were snowed out and had to reschedule. The Fellowship was also rescheduled. Here are a few pictures from that night.
The girls spent the evening serving others.

Calvary just celebrated their 50 year anniversary. I knew the church had been around since my childhood but I had no idea it has withstood half a century! The Pastor celebrated this with a bang! It started off with a catered fellowship Saturday evening. I brought my camera but never used it. I stole these pictures off Facebook from another Calvary member. Thanks Tammy!
Mrs. Bonds was the wife of Pastor Marshall O. Bonds. Pastor Bonds was the pastor of Calvary for 37 years up until his death. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but he had to be a man of God to keep this Independent Fundamental Baptist Church going strong for 37 years! What a testimony!
The pastor had a great line up of preachers to come and preach for us Sun- Thursday evening. I was glad that I did not miss a single service! Well, technically I did as Jay taught jr. church Sunday morning (and I was the helper) and we missed the first message from Guy Roberts. Pastor Roberts comes once a year for revival so I've been privileged to hear him several times.
Here is our Pastor and wife with Pastor Guy Roberts and his wife.

Our church also held the anual Awana Games this past Saturday. We opted out of having our children play this year and made them participate in their soccer games. What a year to miss! They started practicing early and both teams, Sparks and T & T came in first in their divisions. That is a really big deal! The older teams still have to play and the Day of Champions is set for this coming Saturday. Go Calvary!!!
