Serving Opportunities - URGENT
We are in urgent need for children’s ministry workers.
Children's Church (11am) is in great need of both teachers and helpers.
Sunday School (9am) is in need of more hall monitors and check in personnel.
If you don't have training, but are interested in learning, we are happy to help you develop your skills in these areas. More info: email Pastor Troy
Whether it’s this ministry or another, please consider how you will use your gifts to serve others in love.

Coffee & Tea
We will be reserving the service of coffee and tea on Sunday mornings for special occasions after Nov. 30th.
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.
