Calvary Baptist Church is excited to announce some new and previous ministries beginning to take place which will allow all ages to be involved.

Having just began this past Monday morning, Calvary’s Discipleship Group will be meeting weekly at 6 am and will assist the men of our community to serve in different capacities with a focus on Christian discipleship. The group will meet each Monday morning at 6 am at the Texas Farm Credit Office located at 435 West I-45.

The popular ‘Golden Circle’ group will restart their monthly meetings on Wednesday, August 11th at 11 am. Shelby and Janet Race will be the guest speakers this month and will provide stories and photos of their recent trip to ‘The Ark Encounter’ in Williamstown, Kentucky. The group generally meets on the first Wednesday of each month in Calvary’s Life Center dining hall. Their next regularly scheduled meeting will be

Calvary’s ‘Women’s Bible Study’ class will be meeting next on Friday, August 20th at 11 am. This group is open to any age ladies who are interested in studying scripture with both Calvary and others from the community. Studies are held each Friday at 11 am in the Life Center dining room.

In preparation for Calvary’s annual Christmas cantata, the first adult choir practice will be on Sunday, August 15th from 4:45 pm until 5:30 pm. Practices will be scheduled each Sunday until Christmas, unless other events or activities conflict with that schedule.

Calvary’s Wednesday night student ministries will be starting back each week beginning August 18th at 6:30 pm. This will be a ‘back to school bash’ event with food and games for all the students participating. These children and youth activities will continue throughout the year with breaks occurring during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring and summer breaks.

Men’s Game Night takes place the first Thursday of each month from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm in Calvary’s Life Center dining hall. Men from the community gather for some fun domino playing and fellowship. For those domino players, this is a great time each month you’re sure to enjoy.

The ladies of Calvary also have a designated game and craft night each month. They meet from 6-8:30 pm on the first Friday of each month, also in the dining room.

Everyone from Fairfield and the surrounding communities are invited and welcome to attend any of these events, regardless of where you attend church. For more information, please contact the church office at 903.389.2613 or leave a message on Calvary’s Facebook page.
