Calvary Baptist Church

March is our annual food collection for the Odum Children’s Home. This is our Baptist State Children’s Home. There is a complete list of items needed by the bulletins at each door into the sanctuary. There is a tub by the mailboxes to place all non-perishables etc.

Our Children in Action group are participating in the State Children in Action Day Camp on Sat March 5th. A big thank you to all who sponsored a child. All four kids are covered as well as their leader Laurel Bellamy. This group meets ever Wed night at 6:30 and is for boys and girls in grades 1st -6th. They hope to complete a mission project this month weather permitting by painting the outside railings at the church.

Youth on Wed nights have started a new study about a couple who felt called to leave their home country of Brazil and start a ministry in Boston. The teens will have speaker guests Wed the 9th. Steve and Delma who will be sharing about their lives along with sharing some Brazilian snacks and drinks. This group meets Wed at 6:30 and is for grades 7th-12th.

Our Women on Mission groups are doing the same study as the teens. They will also enjoy hearing from Steve and Delma on March 20th at 3:00 about Brazil. You do not need to be a member to attend. Delma may even grace us with her famous homemade Flan dessert!

Calvary will once again provide a meal for the Christian Recovery group on March 28th.

The New Greeting Card Ministry will be an ongoing thing. Cards are being offered on a donation basis. All proceeds go towards the Heck Jones State WMU Offering. So far, we have sent $20.00.

Another new ministry we are doing is the RX fill a bottle with change or singles Ministry. All proceeds go to the Baptist Home for the Aged and help seniors who have trouble affording their prescription medicines. Empty bottles and info sheets are by the mailboxes. Once you fill a bottle just return to the same table.

Monthly Yard Sales for missions have started back up. If you have anything to donate, please contact Val Wilson. March 12th is this month's date unless raining. This takes place at the site of the old office.

Please take a prayer guide this Sunday for the Week of Prayer for our North American missionaries. There are eight days of prayer that begins Sunday the 6th. You will be joining millions as they pray each day for a specific missionary and need. The missionaries depend on your prayers. They are taking the gospel to a region of 366 million people where the spiritual and cultural divides are deep and growing. Only the love of Christ can bring true unity and transformation. 366 million people in North America. 350 languages. 275 million without the hope of the gospel.
