Scent Request
Some in our church family have sensitivities to scents and chemicals. For the health and consideration of others, we’d like to ask everyone to please use unscented hygiene and cosmetic products on Sunday mornings. Thank you for your consideration.
Parking
- Please be aware of the “no stopping” signs after the school parking on Evelyn Ave. People have been ticketed.
- Also, please be aware to not park in other churches' parking lots. Thanks!

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.
