Hi Calvary Family,

What a great Sunday we had celebrating our graduates!

in our series Fighting for the Family, this week we wrapped up our sermon on the home with the final two pillars. Here were our points:

• Integrity must be expected
• Unity must be experienced

Unity happens in our home when people have integrity. Ephesians 4:25 reminds us that we belong to each other and we share life together. The importance of having integrity in our home is vital to experience unity amongst each other through honesty and love.

I want to remind you that this is our last Wednesday Night Bible study. Our first Summer Nights at Calvary will begin June 6th! These will take place on Sunday evenings at 5 pm with a meal together and then Bible study. We hope to see you there!

I am praying for you this week!

In Christ,

Kenny Grant

Senior Pastor

Hi Calvary Family,

What a blessing it was to continue in our sermon series yesterday! This was our second sermons on our new series, Fighting for the Family!

This week our sermon was on Home: The Battlefront. We looked at Deuteronomy 22 as we discovered the importance of building the four walls of the home. Yesterday we discussed the first two walls: authority and love. Here were our points:

• Authority must be established
• Charity (love) must be expressed

Authority is important in the home to ensure healthy relationships. Love is to be spoken and sensed. Each member of the family should hear that they are loved and sense that they are loved. Love is also to be shown in acts and words. I pray this week we will all find ways to reach out to our family members and show love!

I want to remind you that starting in the summer we will be having Summer Nights at Calvary! These will take place on Sunday evenings at 5 pm with a meal together and then Bible study. We will not be having Wednesday Night Bible Study together but will come together on Sunday Evenings.

I am praying for you this week!

In Christ,

Kenny Grant

P.S. Don't forget to sign up for Kids Camp! You can register your children here!

Hello Calvary Family,

Summer is fast approaching and Calvary Kids has some awesome events planned for you to get involved with!

Family Fourth Friday

This will be the last Family Fourth before Summer! So come on Friday, May 28 at 6:00pm for a movie and theater-style dinner. Register here!

Backyard Bible Clubs

While the pandemic has made it difficult to plan and execute large-scale events like VBS, there are many great options for reaching the children of Savannah for Christ. Backyard Bible Clubs are a great way to reach the children and parents of your neighborhood with the message of the gospel. This 5-day, 90 minute per day program will lead kids through God's plan of salvation as if it were a treasure hunt with the Bible as their map.

If you would like to open your home to host a Backyard Bible Club, you can register here. We provide you with a kit, a plan, and training and you provide the space and make invitations.

CentriKid Camp

CentriKid is an overnight camp for 2nd–5th graders (completed grades) to experience the time of their lives and learn more about the message of Jesus Christ! Camps are staffed by college and seminary students who can’t wait to hang out with your kids and love to share Christ through every aspect of camp! At CentriKid, we promise to free your hands of all the little distractions associated with kids ministry. For one week out of the year, hand us the clipboard. We’ll handle lunch, plan Bible Study, set up Recreation, organize leaders, and lead Worship sessions.

A child’s spiritual life can be greatly impacted by their home environment, church involvement, and unique experiences like camp. CentriKid is committed to providing a place for kids to get away—even for a little while—to hear loud and clear that God loves them and has a plan for their lives. Safety in our programming, within relationships, and on campus are top priorities. We believe powerful things can happen when kids feel safe to be a kid!

Calvary Kids will be headed to Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina from July 9-11, 2021. If you are interested in sending your child, register online, fill out the forms and have them notarized, and get your payment to Pastor Alex before June 1st.

If you would like further information about any of these events, don't hesitate to reach out to Pastor Alex at ateesdale@cbtsavannah.org.

We can't wait to see you this summer for all the fun!

Pastor Alex Teesdale

Hi Calvary Family,

Happy Monday!

What a blessing yesterday was as we got to celebrate Mother's Day! Mom's are such a unique part of the family unit and they deserve all the love and praise we can offer!

We also started our new series on Fighting for the Family with our first sermon on The Mission Mom: 1 Samuel 1:1-27. We looked together at the story of Hannah and her love for her son Samuel. We discovered 5 important moves Hannah made in motherhood.

1. Her Prayer for Motherhood (1:10)
2. Her Promise for Motherhood (1:11)
3. Her Preparation for Motherhood (1:18)
4. Her Potential in Motherhood (1:27)
5. Her Praise in Motherhood (2:1-10)

Motherhood is missional! You never know what God has planned for your child. And yet, as Hannah shows us in her praise in 1 Samuel 2:1-10, we need to love God more than our children. When we see that as the truth, we see our children as gifts and we bless the Giver, not the gift.

As we continue in our series on the family, we want to use this time to really support our youth! They are currently raising money for youth camp this summer! Stop by the Welcome Center after service on Sunday and grab an envelope to give towards youth camp! We want every youth to be able to go!

In Christ,

Kenny Grant

Senior Pastor

P.S. Don't forget to mark in your calendars for Calvary's Summer Nights every Sunday in June and July!
