We are pleased to announce that we have once again hired Elise Farnam as our summer student office administrator. Elise will begin her work here again at Calvin beginning on June 18.

In celebration of Pentecost, we will be welcoming and worshipping with our brothers and sister of Bayer’s Rd. Baptist Church on Sun. June 8 @ 11:00 a.m. here at Calvin. We will celebrate the life of the church together as well as share in a special service of Holy Communion. Children’s activities will be provided downstairs, with a fellowship BBQ to follow after worship.
Rightnow MEDIA is HERE!:
Calvin’s 1-year subscription to ‘Rightnow MEDIA’ has begun! The goal, is to try to provide increased opportunity for all of us to explore and to deepen our faith journey with God. As a part of Calvin’s 1-year subscription, those who have agreed to, should have received an email invite from ‘rightnow MEDIA’ to set up their own free access to the site and its resources as a part of our congregation.
Office Assistant Out of Office: (Updated)
Just a reminder that Norna will be returning from her time away to attend the Student Guidance Conference in Ontario Sunday night (May 18). We will be working to upload previous worship services from while she was away to our website and YouTube channel over the course of the coming weeks. We apologise, again, for the video-posting delays and give thanks for your patience as things get back on track.
E-transfers for mission work: (Reminder)
As mentioned in a previous email, donations for our Mission & Outreach’s support of ACE and his family, can be made via cash, cheque, or e-transfers (for e-transfers please direct the funds to calvinhfx@gmail.com). In all cases, please earmark envelopes, cheques, or the comment box for e-transfers with the following: “Missions & Outreach-Ace”.
