Missions Update – April 2024
Our children’s ministry staff really hit a home run at our recent Family Missions Day! Not only was it a fun time together, but our children also planted flower pots and made cards to bring to 38 seniors in our home care ministry. They packed 48 boxes to be given to children in domestic violence shelters through ShelterKidz. A cow, a pig, chickens, fish, and water filters were given through Send Relief. Forming missions minded servants happens when churches and families come together to train children. Thanks to everyone who helped and to all of the parents who came with their children.
Please pray for the Noblits as they minister in Japan. There has been a great loss due to a recent earthquake, but it is also a chance for believers to minister to people in need. Email ciles@calvarynet.net if you want to know how to get their regular news updates.
The Taylors have sent out their latest update. Pray that they will have divine appointments to meet the right people for them to reach as they prepare to plant a church in the Calgary area. Subscribe to all of their updates at the bottom of this page: https://www.taylorsonmission.org
Our Uganda team recently spent time in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement where there are 60,000 refugees from South Sudan. Please take a moment and pray for the people of Kiryandongo. Pray for their health and safety and that the Christians there will spread the message of the kingdom of God.

Men, if you’ve never attended our Men’s Retreat, then pack a bag and get ready to get away from it all. Want to be a better dad, husband, or friend? Do you feel like something just isn’t right in your soul? God has a message for you and this could be the opportunity for you to hear from Him. None of us are perfect, but God does have more for us. It’s time to be real men.

The Lord’s Supper
Observance of The Lord’s Supper
March 24 :: 9:00am & 10:30am :: Alex. Campus
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus shared a last supper with His disciples (Matthew 26:17-30). It was an intimate moment in which He taught them again about salvation.
We believe that the Lord’s Supper is a symbol. The elements of bread and juice symbolize the broken body and shed blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins.
The Lord’s Supper is to be observed by those who have personally confessed and repented of their sins and have turned to Jesus as their personal Savior and only means of salvation. If you know Jesus as your Savior, you are invited to participate whether you are a member of the Calvary Church Family or not.
The purpose of the Lord’s Supper is to help us remember Christ and what He did for our salvation until He comes again.
(1 Corinthians 11:23-29). We encourage you to use this time for reflection and meditation.
Our prayer is that each person will leave the service with a renewed sense of appreciation for what Jesus did for us and a renewed commitment to follow Him more fully in every area of our lives.
Women’s Retreat 2024
The Calvary Women’s Retreat
The 2024 Calvary Women’s Retreat was a wonderful weekend for women of all ages to spend time growing in their faith and connecting with other Christian women. Every woman was encouraged to disconnect from the distractions of life and focus on what God was doing in their stories. God used the speakers, singing, testimonies, and small group times to remind everyone He is always there. It was a weekend filled with many memorable moments that allowed for God to work in their hearts and lives. If you ask any woman who has attended, they will tell you what an incredible life-changing experience it was! Maybe you would like to attend next year? Be on the lookout at the end of this year for next year’s registration.
