This Week at Calvin

Calvin Church welcomes all members and those looking for a church home to come worship with them this Sunday, May 19 at 10:15 AM. This will be a special service honoring the high school and college graduates that are members of Calvin. We congratulate them all on their achievements and wish them God's richest blessings on their future endeavors. At this service we will also be celebrating another reaffirmation of faith and welcoming of new members. We praise God for all His blessings! Cake will be served following the service.
This Sunday Pastor Rev. Dr. Nevada DeLapp continues his series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. This week Pastor will focus on the phrase "Hallowed Be Thy Name" based on Isaiah 6: 1 - 4. This will be followed by the Heidelburg Question and Answer 122.
Communion will be celebrated this Sunday. All who are truly sorry for their sins who sincerely believe in the Lord Jesus as their Savior, and who desire to live in obedience to Him are invited to come with gladness to the table of our Lord this morning. Also as is Calvin's tradition on the Sunday of communion, we fill the blue barrel with items for the Christian Needs Center. The May Needs are: Pork & Beans, Rice, Oatmeal, Toilet paper, Shampoo and Toothpaste.
The Special Offering for May will be taken on May 19th. It is designated for the Le Mars Ministerial Association's Transient Ministry Fund.
