Calvary Burlington is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds meet for worship, teaching, and to grow in our faith. You might be here for the first time and have a lot of questions about what we do and why, or you have been a believer for many years and are looking to connect with others and deepen your walk with the Lord. No matter what brought you here today, we invite you to journey with us and to ask yourself what your next steps might be based on the message you hear.

If you are looking to explore who Calvary is and what we believe, you may also want to check out our Events page, What We Believe, and our Groups section. If you have any questions , don't hesitate to reach out via text (289-803-3530) or email (hello@calvaryburlington.ca)

Advent begins on Sunday, November 27. These are five weeks where we will journey to Christmas and our "Emmanuel, God with us." Every Christmas, we go back in time – about 2000 years – to that scene in a stable and a baby in a manger. We stand in awe with the shepherds met by a host of angels, we travel with the wise men following a star.  

This year, let’s look a little closer.

As God prepared to enter our world through His Son Jesus, how was Jesus’ family preparing? Together, let’s celebrate with joy as Elizabeth hears that Mary is pregnant, let’s rejoice in hope as John prepares the way for Jesus. Let’s rest in peace as Joseph’s heart is calmed, and let’s look with love at the child Mary so courageously and tenderly brings into our world. This year, let’s come together for a Family Christmas.

If you are joining us for the first time on Sunday and bringing young children with you, take a moment to pre-register them for kids ministry so we can be ready to welcome them when you arrive! We offer Nursery for newborn to age 3, and classes for children in preschool to grade 5. 

Can't be in the service on Sundays? You can catch us live on YouTube each Sunday at 10:00 am, or view the replay of the sermon any time throughout the week on our Media page. 

Are you looking to connect and build new friendships in the community? Join us for the free Seniors Lunch at Calvary Burlington! Lunch is served in a comfortable space where you can gather to enjoy a great meal, plus take home some leftovers for the next day! There's never any charge, but donations are greatly appreciated.

The lunches begin at noon on these days:

• December 9 
• January 20, 2023
• February 17
• March 17
• April 21
• May 12

We host a preschool playgroup at Calvary on Tuesdays from 9:30–11 am. This is an excellent way for parents to connect while the kids play in a safe and engaging space. There's no charge, and all are welcome. Contact Sarah Bean if you have any questions.

Join us for the annual Budget Meeting and Dessert Night on November 27 at 6:30 pm. This is a time to celebrate together how God has been faithful throughout the year, and look at the planned 2023 Budget. All are welcome to attend, but church members should make it a priority to attend as there will be a few voting items.

This is the year when both Christmas Day and New Year's Day fall on a Sunday. Plans are already in the works to make Christmas Eve and Christmas Day very special events, and we're pleased to tell you that we are again doing a New Year's Day brunch. The service will begin at 9:00 am with food and great conversation around the table, and then will flow into a time of worship and the Word. Watch for more details but in the meantime, reserve the date and plan to attend. 

Each week our Youth Director Mike Sanders and his team put together an evening of games with a biblical teaching intended to help your kids grow in their faith and stay connected with the church. Reach out to him with any questions you have at mike@calvaryburlington.ca

On the chairs in front of you there is a Connect Card QR code which you can scan to fill out, or you can complete a paper copy and drop it in the dropbox hanging on the wall at the back of the main auditorium. 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.

If you'd like to talk to someone about faith or have questions about the Bible, you can always reach out to us! We have a text number (289-803-3530) or you can reach us by email at hello@calvaryburlington.ca. We can chat with you online, or we can set up a time to talk in person.

Baptism is the way God prescribed for us to outwardly declare out faith in Christ. If you are interested in being baptized or would like to talk more about what it is and why we do it, set up a time to chat with Pastor Aaron or one of the Elders. 

God has given us each a unique set of talents, gifts and passions in order to serve Him. Serve with Kids Ministry, the nursery, Food For Life, Worship Team, Student Ministry and more. We'd love to help you find your place to serve. Drop us a note today and talk to us about where God might be calling you!

Church membership is an important part of growing as a believer. While anyone is welcome to attend a service and get involved in many capacities, church membership is a formal commitment to belong to the church and to grow in community as you worship and serve together. Find out more online, or ask for a membership packet with all the details.
