Sermon Series “Love in Action” Continues May 14

This Sunday, May 14 at 11:00 a.m. Rev. David J. Hanna will continue the sermon series "Love in Action" with the sermon "LIA: Don’t Try This at Home." "Think about the fourth chapter of Matthew, where Jesus calls Simon Peter and Andrew, James and John to be disciples. In effect, Jesus says to them: Don't just sit there doing the same old things, living the same old life. Do something good and meaningful. Don’t just sit there, follow me, says Jesus. Now that’s something for you to try!" We look forward to seeing you Sunday! http://calvarychurchpa.com/sermon-series-love-action-continues-may-14/

New Sermon Series “Love In Action” Begins Sunday, May 7

This Sunday, May 7, Rev. David J. Hanna will deliver the first in a new sermon series "LIA: Love in Action": "We don't trust love to change the world. We don't think it will work. But the cross and Easter, give us the unmistakeable message: God shows us that love—not religious laws and rituals, not worldly constructs and kingdoms but love is the most powerful thing in the world. We don’t want to be Missing In Action, rather we want to put Love In Action." We welcome you to join us! http://calvarychurchpa.com/new-sermon-series-love-action-begins-sunday-may-7/

Youth Sunday!

Youth Sunday Worship Service Will Focus On God’s Grace

This Sunday at 11:00 a.m. the youth will lead us in worship along with musical contributions from the Children's Choir and youth band. Youth will deliver a two-part sermon "Grace. Period.": "As God has forgiven us, so we are called to forgive others. Often a debtor is offered a “grace period” to reconcile outstanding accounts. God offers grace. Period." Additionally, the children and youth will offer prayers, scripture readings, and music to lead us in the worship of God. http://calvarychurchpa.com/youth-sunday-worship-service-will-focus-gods-grace/

We welcome you to join us for worship, education and fellowship on Sunday, April 23. Seminarian Ben C. Fitzgerald-Fye will deliver the sermon Conversion Stories: "This week is more about testimony than sermon. In the framework of Saul’s conversion, I will recount my own journey to faith. This is a story of doubt, anger, hurt, redemption, and ultimately conversion to faith. It is a journey toward understanding God’s inclusive love and call to ministry."
