FROM THE SENIOR PASTOR

Congratulations to Our Graduates

On Sunday, we join in extending our congratulations to our many high school seniors who are graduating. I hope you have the opportunity to congratulate them personally. Pray for them as they begin this exciting new chapter of their lives! 


Undoubtedly, they will face many challenges as well as temptations and pressures. Many of them have attended Calvary all their lives, and we pray that the spiritual foundations built in their homes, as well as at Calvary, will produce strong and fearless ambassadors for Jesus Christ. It has been a privilege at Calvary to nurture, pray for, and encourage them over the years. We look forward to their continued growth as they now transition into Calvary College Ministry.

Pastor John H. Munro

Newcomers Reception, June 1 — Pastor Munro and Gudny will host a Newcomers Reception after the worship service this Sunday. If you're new to Calvary, this is your opportunity to meet them and hear more about the mission and ministry of our church. Please stop by the Welcome Center in the Galleria at 11:15 AM. We have a small welcome gift for you!
