CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER The Pastor Presents … RED HOT SUMMER!!! “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. (Revelation 3:15-19 ESV) It is in the middle of a red, hot summer. Often, the temptation is for us to “cool down” not only physically, but spiritually. We tend to “back off” not only in our commitments, but also in our spiritual disciplines. But this is no time to slack off! In fact, we need to become more and more “on fire” for Christ and the things of the Lord. Enclosed in the pages of this edition of our newsletter are not only ways you can be involved now in ministry, but also to plan ahead for ways you can be more involved this fall in discipleship, mission, and growing closer to Christ and His will every day.

An estimated two million Sudanese have been killed during two decades of civil war, including many Christians. A glimmer of hope exists with the peace accords, and we can help our Sudanese brothers and sisters rebuild their lives and Christian witness. Sudanese Christians live a simple lifestyle, owning few or no material possessions. However, some items are essential to their survival. One blanket can make a difference. For more that 10 years, The Voice of the Martyrs has been active in Sudan delivering medical care, Sudan Life packs, Scripture and pastoral training. Now with VOM's Sudan: Blanket and a Bible ministry outreach, everyone can have a part. Along with each blanket sent, VOM will provide a copy of He Lived Among Us, an illustrated Bible storybook. This program sends a strong message to our Sudanese family that they are not forgotten, and we stand with them in rebuilding their communities with the love of Christ. We will be collecting blankets over the next few months. then in November we will send them to “Sudan: Blanket and a Bible” Start collecting now!! Remember the Navajo’s We are collecting items to send to Flagstaff for their Christmas Giveaway. Please bring in items and place in the boxes provided in the foyer.
