This Week at Calvin

Calvin Christian Reformed Church recognizes Epiphany and celebrates Communion this Sunday, January 12, 2020. Epiphany is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God as Jesus Christ. At Communion Calvin invites 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 in celebration of communion. As is our tradition with communion, all are encouraged to contribute to the Christian Needs Center this Sunday. The January needs are: pancake mix, syrup, pudding/jello; jelly; soup pasta sauce (no noodles); granola bars; potatoes; rice; juice; hamburger helper; toilet paper; toothpaste; and deodorant.
Worship at 10:15 AM begins with a prelude on the grand piano entitled "Beautiful Savior" arranged by Rudy Atwood. Epiphany songs to be sung will be "As With Gladness Men of Old", "Arise, Your Light is Come", and "Come, Light, Light of God." Angeli Shieh will play an arrangement of "Holy Spirit" by Jesus Culture for the offertory.
Scripture readings come from the Gospel of John 1: 29 - 42 read by the Pastor from the center of the congregation symbolizing that Jesus came down to earth to be among us. The Gospel Hymn will be "Behold the Lamb" by Keith and Kristen Getty. Pastor's text for his sermon will be Revelation 15: - 16: 21.
Communion will be distributed to the congregation after the morning message. Miriam Hector will play "Lamb of God with Jesus Paid It All" and "You Are My All in All" with Pachelbel Canon.
