A COVID-19 message from Pastor Ken (updated 11/25/2020):
Calvary Bible Church family:
Since we are free to meet for Worship, we have decided to implement some “social distancing” steps to help adhere to the Health Department recommendations. We have taped off every other pew, and while we do not require masks be worn, certainly encourage those who see it as important to do so.
We continue holding services in the Church building every Sunday morning, with Sunday School beginning at 9:15 AM and the Worship Service at 10:30 AM, except for the last Sunday of the month when we begin at 10:15 AM with a ‘congregational choice’ hymn-sing!
The Ladies Study group meets every other Tuesday at 1:30 and is studying “Growing in the Christian Life” a Guide to James, and welcome you to join them! Couple’s Study meets on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM, with a study titled “The Surprising Marriage.” We will continue to meet on Wednesday evening for Prayer Meeting at 6:00 PM, and the Men’s Study on Saturday morning at 7:00 AM is working through the Study “Stepping Up – A call to Courageous Manhood.” Come join us!
Of course, we also realize many of you may still be hesitant to reconnect physically. We understand and respect your decision, so will still be broadcasting the Sunday Worship service live on our Facebook page, in fact it will be out there on Facebook at large so anyone who wants to join us for worship can. It will also be available later as a recorded service.
Again, I think the bottom line is to use the common sense the good Lord gives us all. The threat of contracting the virus is a reality. But there has always been a threat of contracting illness, don’t let an unrealistic fear keep you from the blessing of participating in corporate Worship in any of the options given. If you have underlying health issues like COPD, AFIB or other heart health issues, respiratory health issues etc., it would make sense for you to take extra measures to insure your health. If necessary, stay home and protect yourself from possible contact with those who may be sick; Worship with us via Facebook!
Again, remember these words of Jesus’ found in John 14:27:
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives, do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Above all, remember that God is in control, and we can trust Him!

Welcome to Calvary Bible Church. We have been serving Jesus Christ in Fond du Lac and the surrounding area for over 50 years! We are not flashy, just faithful, and by His grace we will continue faithful until He comes again for His church just as He promised. We welcome all to worship with us who love the Lord Jesus Christ, desire to worship Him in spirit and truth, and who recognize their need to be grounded in God's Word. Look around at our site, check out what we believe, and come out for a visit. You will find the service times above, and Bible study and our other meeting times below.

February 2021

February is intrinsically linked to love, thanks primarily to the
promotion of Valentine’s Day! (February 14th, in case you were wondering guys! :) ) While I am not exactly against the celebration, the world has high-jacked the true meaning of the word! The Biblical definition is very different! What Is Love? It is silence—when your words would hurt. It is patience—when your neighbor’s curt. It is deafness—when a scandal flows. It is thoughtfulness—for other’s woes. It is promptness—when stern duty calls. It is courage—when misfortune falls. (Source unknown) Love is Not a Feeling Biblical love, often described as sacrificial love, has transforming power. Genuine love is volitional (a choice) rather than emotional. The person who truly loves does so because of a decision to love. This person has made a commitment to be loving whether or not the loving feeling is present. If it is, so much the better; but if it isn’t, the commitment to love, the will to love, still stands and is still exercised…. True love is not a feeling by which we are overwhelmed; it is a committed, thoughtful decision. (Dr. M. Scott Peck – slightly modified :) ) Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (NIV, emphasis added) Philippians 1:9: “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight…” |
