Scripture, Sunday, September 15

Isaiah 50:4-9a The servant is vindicated by God
Psalm 116:1-9 I will walk in the presence of the Lord. (Ps. 116:9)
James 3:1-12 Dangers of the unbridled tongue
Mark 8:27-38 Peter’s confession of faith

The Sign of the Cross

Three weeks ago we heard Peter’s confession of faith as told in John’s gospel. This week we hear Mark’s version, when Peter says, “You are the Messiah.” 

In John, the stumbling block is Jesus’ invitation to eat his flesh, given for the life of the world. In Mark too the scandal has to do with Jesus’ words about his own coming death, and here Peter himself stumbles over Jesus’ words. 

But Jesus is anointed (the meaning of messiah) in Mark only on the way to the cross (14:3); so we are anointed in baptism with the sign of the cross.

Calvary's Discipleship Class began on September 8 at 5:00pm in the Parlor.

You can view all three 8-episode seasons of The Chosen on Prime Video, Peacock or online at https://watch.thechosen.tv/page/seasons%201-3

Study Guide

Growing in Faith 
Begins September 15th at 9:45am

"Lord, teach us to pray" and Jesus responds to his disciples' request: "Pray like this,"

Join us September 15 as we explore how the Lord's Prayer that Jesus gave us can "shape our lives and change the world." We will have a video-based study of Adam Hamilton's text "The Lord's Prayer: The Meaning and Power of the Prayer Jesus Taught".

Throughout the year we will explore other topics at 9:45 on Sunday mornings.

  • We use engaging video-based curriculums that consist of 5-18 minute videos on a range of topics. These videos are grounded in Scripture and applicable to issues we deal with in our everyday life as Christians.
  • A group facilitator offers questions that encourage us to share our own insights and questions about the topic of study as we explore our faith together.
  • This group offers an opportunity for fellowship and getting to know fellow members better.
Come join us as we strive to "grow in compassionate relationships, faith, service, and generosity through Christ."

TRUNK or TREAT
Saturday, Oct 26th @ 4:00pm

Calvary's 2024 Trunk or Treat event will be on Saturday, October 26th starting at 4:00pm. We had a blast last year, with 17 cars, meeting around 150 local children/neighbors. We're counting on you to be there to pass out treats to our preschoolers and neighborhood children. We hope to have at least 25 cars.

This year we are adding a service opportunity! All participants and attendees are invited to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to our "Toy Shop" parade float for the 2024 Concord Christmas Parade. All toys will be donated to a local toy collection following the parade.

Afterward you can enjoy a hotdog supper at the shelter,. To continue the fun Journey in Faith will have games ready for the boooys and ghouls to play.

Please click here to sign up your vehicle online or contact Lisa Hunkele or the church office to let us know you'll be able to come and hand out treats!
