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.

Seek Ye My Face
Praying is more than saying: But if we don’t say, We don’t pray: “When ye pray, say…” Supplication goes beyond prostration, even to perspiration; But we show that we know with Whom we are dealing By kneeling – “I bow my knees unto the Father…” When the Soul cries out, the tongue will not be silent; And when the heart bows, The knees will follow WSK Prayer One of the most dominant features of the New Testament church was that they prayed. Following the ascension of Jesus, the followers of Jesus were left in Jerusalem without Jesus' physical presence, but spiritually they were still in contact with him because they prayed. When the disciples were selecting the replacement for Judas they prayed. The decision was too great to make by themselves. Following Peter's sermon on Pentecost that resulted in many new believers, they were instructed in spiritual growth tools. Among those tools was prayer. Prayer was such a way of life that they took time out each day, even in the afternoons, to spend time in prayer to God. Prayer was so important to the apostles that they set aside other servants to care for the physical needs of the widows, so they could spend extended periods of time in prayer. Do you see the picture? Prayer is not some function tacked-on at the end of a service. It is not an agenda item that, if we get to it, then we will pray. Prayer is essential to the health of the Church. I Thess. 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I Peter 4:7 “The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.” |
