Expand: Town hall – TODAY
The Building Committee invites anyone interested in details about the next steps in our EXPAND Project to join us for a Town Hall meeting on February 1st at 1:30 pm.

Religious Persecution: Coming Soon or Already Here? – February 7th
Some Christians say we are not being persecuted in the west. Others point out that persecution rarely starts with the worst kind of government control but instead with the slow erosion of our rights. How should the church respond? Join us for the Canadian Religious Freedom Summit, in-person and online at freedomsummit.ca

Worship Database Playlist
Do you sometimes find yourself trying to learn the songs we sing at Calvary on the fly? Do you want to know them in advance? Or maybe you know most of them already, but you want to belt them out at small group, at home, in the car, on the bus, in the shower, or wherever? Or maybe you want to teach your kids these songs? We’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a Spotify playlist with our entire worship database. You can access it at calvarybaptistchurch.ca/worship.
Sermon Manuscripts
If English is your second language and having a copy of the sermon would help you understand better, please let us know, and we’ll get you a printed or soft copy of the sermon. You can also get a copy of this week's manuscript here.
