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.

It is once again time to order Virtue Packs. Are you interested in some resources to help your 1st-6th grader reinforce what they are learning on Sunday mornings?

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

Macedonian Angel Tree

Would you be willing to make Christmas special for a child in need? Today is the final day to pick up a tag. Each child will receive 2 gifts (one toy, one piece of clothing). Each tag represents one of these items (approximately $25 per gift). Gifts need to be returned to the church, unwrapped, on November 29, December 6 or 13.

New Children’s Ministry Check In System

Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. Catalyst meets weekly at Will & Deb Little’s House (507 Laredo Rd, Papillion) for Bible study.

We are making some changes in how children, nursery through 4th grade, are checked in to programs at Calvary. We have chosen KidCheck to bring you the best experience at check-in and to provide parents the ability to act as a team, with us, to keep children in safe hands. We will go live with KidCheck December 13. In order to prepare for this transition and to create your free account online with KidCheck, please go to go.kidcheck.com (make sure you don’t type www). You can also sign up in the foyer at the Plugged In Booth November 29th and December 6th. Check in key tags can also be picked up at the Plugged In Booth November 29th and December 6th.

If you have questions about any of the College Age Ministry events, please contact Will & Deb Little at 537-0511.

The first week is “Pizza with the Preacher” and is an introduction to the life and ministry of Calvary hosted by our Lead Minister, Scott Beckenhauer. As the name implies, pizza is provided!
