Thank you for choosing to worship with us here at Calvary Christian Church! We’re on a journey, seeking to discover more about God, His Word, and His Son, Jesus Christ and we would love for you to join us in that pursuit! When you are ready to get started in your journey with us at CCC, we encourage you to take one or more of these simple steps:

• Fill out the Bulletin Tear-Out. By doing so, you enable us to know a little more about you and how we can serve you.

• Visit our Guest Reception Room. Join us in Room 301, just west of the auditorium entrance, if you are interested in receiving more information about Calvary.

• Attend our CalvaryCONNECT classes.

This is your starting point for your involvement at Calvary. If you would like more information on our CalvaryCONNECT classes, please see the bottom of the next page.

Some common questions about our services…and answers:

• About Communion…The Lord’s Supper (communion) is served in every worship service. We practice open communion; we consider the Lord’s Supper to be open to all believers in Christ.

• About Offering…If you are a first time guest, please do not feel obligated to participate in this week’s offering. It is intended for members and regular attenders.

• About the Nursery…Our nursery is provided for each worship service and is available for newborns up to children two years of age.

Check out the Plugged In Booth for more information, samples and order forms.

Tonight at 5:00 p.m. in the main auditorium we will present the proposed 2010 budget and Ministry Team reports. The budget is available to review at the Welcome Center. If there are any questions/comments on the budget contact Terry Ausenbaugh, Justin Widick, or Tim Titus.
