AUGUST  19TH    

11:30am-­‐2:30pm    

Sign-­‐up  and  commit  yourself  to  grow  in  

Christ  Jesus!    

Become  a  Member “Just  as  each  of  us  has  one  body  with  many  members,  and  these  members  do  not  all  have  the  same  function,  so  in  Christ  we  who  are  many  form  one  body,  and  each  member  belongs  to  all  the  others.”  Romans  12:4-­‐5

Christians were never intended to live a life of faith in isolation, but to fellowship and to worship with other believers. First Thessalonians 5:11 says we are to, “Encourage one another and build one another up in the faith.” We can’t do this unless we are vitally related to other Christians. Therefore, we invite you to come and join us in our Membership & Renewal Class to understand church membership and to gain a deeper understanding of our faith in Christ Jesus. For members, it is a refresher course about what it means to be a Christian and a member of Calvary. For pre-members, it defines the expectation and meaning of what it means to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. By becoming a member of Calvary Presbyterian Church, we express our commitment to grow in faith and become a part of a “spiritual family” that worships together, grows in faith together and serves one another.

Calvary  Presbyterian  Church’s  Mission  Statement   is   to  be  “Messengers   in  Centering  People   in  Christ”.  This   is  accomplished  by  the  involvement  of  our  Congregation  and   the   physical   facilities   that   are   utilized   to   share  God’s  Word.  

Our  church   is  comprised  of   the  main  building  and  the  gymnasium.   Imagine   the   limitations   of   our  mission   if  we   did   not   have   our   gymnasium.   We   could   not  continue  our  Basketball  Ministry;  hold  our  bi-­‐annual  Rummage  Sales  or  annual  Spaghetti  Feed;  Ballroom  Dancing;  Tai  Chi;  Health  Fairs;  Concerts;  and  Community  Programs,  such  as  providing  a   safe   environment   for   the   YMCA   to   nurture   young   boys   to   be   stronger   believers   in   Christ.  These   activities   have   been   a   catalyst   of   introducing   visitors   to   CPC.     We   are   utilizing   the  gymnasium  more  and  more,  while  tying  it  into  the  life  of  the  church.  

The  gymnasium  was  constructed  with  a  $400,000  loan  from  the  Synod  of  the  Pacific.  The  loan  was   modified   in   2010   to   a   lower   interest   rate.   As   of   July   2012,   the   outstanding   principal  amount  is  $373,869.99.  $1,600  is  the  average  interest  amount  per  our  monthly  loan  payment  of  $2,836.96.    To  ensure   that  we  maintain  our  ongoing  ministries,  we  will  be  holding   the   following  Special  Building  Fund  Offering:  Mortgage  Sunday  2012    There  will   be  a   Special   offering  on  Sunday,   September  23.    All   proceeds  will   go   towards   the  loan  principal.  There  will  be  a  Special  Offering  Envelope  included  with  the  Calvary  Press.        Purpose:   to   pay   down  our  mortgage   as   quickly   as   possible   and   to   be   good   stewards   of   our  resources.        We  hope  to  make  this  an  annual  event.
