It is hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner, with Christmas not
Children’s Christmas
too far away as well. These holidays are a tremendous time for us as believers to show
Chapel Service
God's lovingkindness to those who are in need. We will be out in our community on
the day before Thanksgiving from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm distributing dinners and visiting with folks. There
is also a need for volunteers to bring cooked food to the mission for Thanksgiving evening.
We will stuff bags for our Children's Christmas Event on Thursday, December 11, from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm
and the event will be on Saturday, December 13 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm. Our men will receive their
Christmas bags during the Chapel service on the evening of Thursday, December 18. Our greatest need is
toys for the children's Christmas event. The second most needed item is food for the “Feed the 400
Thanksgiving” event. You will find more details concerning these events on page 2 of this newsletter.
Thank you so much for your precious prayers, help and support. Burden's are lifted at Calvary!

Would You like to Help Raise Funds
for Our Building Fund?
We are looking for people who are willing to donate $250 to be
a Calvary Chicken Champion. This is to cover the cost of the
chicken for our monthly business luncheons. We will have a
Chicken Pin for you to proudly wear representing Calvary
Rescue Mission. As people come to the
dinner, all the monies will then go directly
into our Building Fund. These Chicken
Champions Names will be on our Chicken
Champion Poster Board located in our
vestibule.
We have some attractive gold polo shirts with
Calvary’s Logo!
Both Men and Ladies sizes .
You can see Bro. Bob proudly
modeling his new shirt.
These shirts are selling at $20
each with all proceeds going into
our Building Fund.
