• Join us for our special Thanksgiving Service on Tuesday, November 24 at 6:30.  Let’s be intentional about taking this time to reflect on all the reasons we have to be thankful to the Lord for all He has done for us.   Just like the Psalmist says in Psalm 107: 19-22 He has saved us from our trouble. He has given us His words of healing. He has rescued us from the grave.  His has given us His unfailing love. Let’s take the time to tell of His wonderful works!

LIVE STREAM

• Cannot join us in person, no problem.  There will be a LIVE STREAM of the service from the Sanctuary that evening. 

HELP US

• Please help us make this service in person and online amazing. We INVITE everyone (who attends in person or online) to participate by sending us a 15-30 second video sharing something you have to be thankful for this year.  It will become part of a blended collage of thankful expressions. This year more than ever, we feel it is important to look at what blessings the Lord has given us. You can share as a whole family on the video or as an individuals. Text us your video to 304-729-4298 or email it to us at office@calvarywv.com.

More Than a Carpenter is one of the best-selling Christian books ever that has been placed in the hands of over 15 million people around the world. Josh McDowell who was a former skeptic of Jesus wrote this book to examine the evidence about Jesus. Is He really the Lord He claimed to be? How can we know for sure? More than a Carpenter investigates hard questions about the reliability of biblical records, the resurrection and the relationship between faith and science. We feel that a discussion based upon this book will enhance opportunities for people to discuss the topics addressed in the book.

During this discussion series  we have two objectives.

1. For followers of Jesus to know why they believe what they believe that will cause them to walk in a closer relationship with Jesus.

2. For people who are curious about Jesus and Christianity, we want the content and discussions to lead to an honest consideration and evaluation as to who Jesus Christ is.

We look forward to engaging in conversation with you on Wednesday’s at 6:30PM on our church Facebook page

The times are: 6:00-6:15, 6:15-6:30, 6:30-6:45, 6:45-7:00, 7:00-7:15. This is going to be a fun time for the kids, with many themed areas set up for them to see characters they like.
