Digital Bulletin

Calvary Burlington is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds meet for worship, teaching, and to grow in our faith. Our hope is that you would find a place where people can see and experience the love of Jesus. That Calvary would be a church where people can be engaged in community, be evangelized through solid biblical teaching, respond to the Gospel and be established in the faith, and then be equipped to help others take a step to the right toward spiritual maturity. It's our prayer that in everything we do, we are living out our calling to be disciples who make disciples.

WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AT CALVARY BURLINGTON?

 news for this Sunday

Each week in December, we’re travelling backward through the life of Jesus to uncover how every moment points to the ultimate gift of his birth. Join us for this fresh, upside-down journey to rediscover the hope, grace, and purpose of the season!

December 22: Surrender (Luke 2:41-52)
Imagine the Creator of the universe sitting in the temple, humbly learning and listening. In this glimpse of Jesus’ early life, we see a boy already surrendered to the Father’s will. But what does surrender mean for us? As we rewind through Jesus’ story, this week’s message shows how even as a child, Jesus’ purpose pointed to the ultimate hope and wonder of Christmas.

Kids of all ages will start their morning downstairs for KidsChurch. Someone will be at the check-in kiosk to help your kids get checked into the correct classroom!

Upcoming Events

Dec 17: StuMin Christmas Party
Students in grades 6–12 are celebrating Christmas with food, games, and a ton of fun. No charge; all welcome. There will be presents!

Christmas Eve at 5:00 pm
 We will dim the lights for a family-friendly service where you’ll hear carols, readings, special music and more. Childcare is available for kids newborn to age 3. It’s always a touching service crafted to give time and space to consider the Christ-child and His impact on the world and our hearts.

It’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, connect with other women, and get into the Christmas spirit. Bring a friend and come prepared for a warm, cozy evening filled with laughter, fellowship, and the joy of Jesus' birth. Let’s celebrate the hope and love that Christ brings into our lives!

Cost is $10/person to cover the cost of supplies. You can pay cash or send $10 by EMT to candi@calvaryburlington.ca
Jan 3: Seniors Lunch
Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2025 with a delicious lunch at no charge. Lunch is open to anyone 55+ -- hope to see you there! Email candi@calvaryburlington.ca if you have questions. 


Soundboard Fundraiser: Investing in our worship

For more than 20 years, our soundboard has faithfully served our church, ensuring that every voice, instrument, and song is heard clearly in worship. But with time and growing needs, it has become apparent that it can no longer keep up. Many of its channels no longer work reliably, and the technology isn’t built for the demands of today—especially when it comes to livestreaming and sharing our services online.

That’s why we’re launching a fall fundraiser to raise $50,000 for a new soundboard and to refresh the media centre. This is about more than just upgrading equipment—it’s about expanding our reach and creating a space where anyone, anywhere, can encounter Jesus through worship.

We are asking for your support in giving over and above your regular offerings to help us raise the needed funds. Whether it’s $10 or $1000, your generosity will make a significant impact. Please consider prayerfully how you can contribute to this crucial need, and give today. 

Ministry Posting: Director of worship

Our Worship Director Jolene Sanders has tendered her resignation as of the end of December 2024. Because of her increased responsibilities in her full-time position with WEC, she is unable to devote the time needed to serve as ministry staff. She will continue to be a part of the church and worship team, and we'll be praying for her as she continues to settle into her new role. We are hiring for the part-time position of Worship Director.  The job listing can be found by clicking here.

Ready...S.e.t...Go!

Looking for a way to serve God and connect with others in the church family? Join the Special Events Team ("SET") at Calvary! You'll volunteer to work in a variety of ways and use your gifts collectively and in community to serve.

This is a hands-on ministry that uses people who want to be actively involved.  SET members might do light maintenance projects, plant flowers, run games for kids’ events, bake or cook, help with event set-up or take-down… the possibilities are plentiful!

If you’d like to get involved, sign up and we’ll be in touch.

Weekly Prayer Time

Our weekly prayer time happens Tuesdays from 9:30-10:15 am. We meet to pray for the needs of the church and community. Have a prayer request? Send it to us and we will add you to the prayer list. 

Next Steps

On the chairs in front of you there is a Connect Card. Use the Connect Card to let us know that you're worshipping with us today, to update your contact information, or to tell us how we can be praying for you.
