1 CALVARY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

2

3 WELCOME TO WORSHIP AT CALVARY! Wherever you may be on your journey of faith, Calvary Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), welcomes you. We are a community where questions are valued and where faith is experienced as a loving relationship with God and with all people. Affirming that every person is a unique creation and a child of God, we believe discrimination is incompatible with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We believe there is room at the table for people of different views and understandings. We are enriched by many voices and united in one Spirit, the spirit of a God who loves each one of us abundantly and unconditionally. If you are passing through: we extend God s blessings to you as you continue on your way. If you are seeking a home: we invite you to join with us as we grow in faith and serve Jesus Christ. DURING TODAY S WORSHIP Large-print bulletins are available at the entrances. Individual listening devices for improved sound are also available from ushers. If your infant or child needs care or extra attention during the worship service you may leave the Sanctuary and return as you wish. Rocking chairs are available at the back of the Sanctuary. Our Church Nursery is staffed during worship and fellowship time. Children s packets containing quiet activities are available in baskets located at the back of the Sanctuary. Burgundy fellowship registers are passed for you to sign, so that we might know you are here; all worshipers have an opportunity to provide updated information and to greet one another by name following the service. Please silence all electronic devices when in the Sanctuary. IF YOU ARE NEW TO CALVARY Parking, several professional offices make their parking lots available to church members on Sunday mornings. Feel free to take an available space at the following locations, and thank these neighbors when you have the chance: Rose Medical Associates the lot runs between Klondyke Avenue and School Street, parallel to South Seventh; Northwood Realty near the corner of South Seventh and School (please do not park in their reserved spaces); Bonya, Gazza & DeGory lot on the left on School, near the light at South Sixth. (That office was once Calvary s manse.) The Indiana Borough Parking Garage is located at 650 Water Street.
