This Week at Calvin 12/5/2023

Calvin Church, 326 7th St SE, welcomes all who are looking for a church family to worship, learn and
fellowship with us. Sunday School classes for all ages begin at 9:00 AM. Worship begins at 10:00 AM
celebrating the Second Week of Advent lighting the candle of peace. Just as this light illuminates the
darkness, may the peace of Christ shine brightly in our lives, guiding our steps and bringing hope to the
world. Songs of Peace include: “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”, “You Are Holy (Prince of Peace)” “He
Shall Reign Forevermore”, and “Emmanuel”.
Pastor Brian Hofman’s text for this Sunday is Isaiah 12: 1-6; “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and
be not afraid.”
After the offertory, the children meet with Pastor Brian for an interesting Children’s Sermon. Then they
are dismissed to Children’s Worship led by Tessa Hofman.
Sunday we also celebrate communion. As is tradition we encourage members to contribute to The
Table. Place items in the blue barrel in the narthex. This Sunday we have a special offering for World
Renew.
This week Calvin has the pleasure of leading worship services at the Prime Living (9:30), and Accura
(10:00).
A Lifewise Christmas Tree is in the foyer. On it are items you can purchase to support LifeWise. Calvin
welcomes LifeWise Academy to our facilities. On Wednesday the Kluckhohn 5th graders are bused over
and on Thursday the Franklin 5th graders walk to the church.
The Evening Bible Study meets at 6:30 PM on Wednesday.
The church office is open every morning from 10 to noon. If you have any prayer requests and
concerns you like included in the bulletin, please direct them to our church secretary at 712-546-4767.
Services may be seen on YouTube, on our newly designed website at Calvincrclemars.org, or by listening
