Just so you know...we haven't forgotten about this site, but it has taken a back seat to other projects at the moment. Unfortunately! One of the projects though is a new church website, which will actually end up eliminating this site and the blog will take place inside of the church's new site itself. Be watching and waiting for that new site to appear. If anyone is even still checking out this site...
After an amazing weekend this past Saturday, it's hard to put into words just how incredible it was to see the body of Christ in action. Well, over 1,000 people endured the heat of the day to come out and take part in this amazing day, along with 130 different church members who volunteered to give freely as had been given to them. Our prayer is that God's love was showed to many of those people in ways that they'd never seen before.
Whether by the free food,
Or the free clothes,
Or the free entertainment,
May they have gotten a glimpse of God's free love.
It's hard to imagine, but AWANA is just around the corner. Be praying now about God using you in mighty ways through the AWANA program this next year. Also, be thinking of who you might invite to come and attend AWANA this year. For more information please see David Davis or email him at double_d29@lycos.com.
We are sparks for Jesus, Sparks to light the world.
We will shine for Jesus, As we tell....

Sandy and Dave Stephens (pictured above on the right) have lived and worked at Camp Cotubic for over 20 years since arriving in Logan County from Indiana. Dave is the Executive Director, while Sandy also works for Ben Logan schools when summer camp is over. They served in the pastorate for 20 years prior to coming to Camp Cotubic. They have three grown children and two granddaughters. Dave and Sandy have already been a big part of Calvary for many years in both spirit and service.
Steve Woodruff (pictured below) graduated from Triad High School in 2000. He now lives in the same house he grew up in, as his parents recently moved to Greensburg, Indiana. His sister, Kelly, married Jeremy Willetts, which makes the ever-famous Jackson Willetts (pictured) Steve’s nephew.

a variety of worship music, blending contemporary and traditional styles along
with testimonies, Scripture and congregational
songs.
Following the 10:45 AM service, we
will have a carry-in meal in the fellowship hall. Please bring a main dish and
a salad or dessert. Everything else will be

Calvary will once again be reaching out to the community through the Logan County Community Soccer Camp. It will be held July 28-31 from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at Southview Park here in Bellefontaine. The camp is for students ages 7-14. The cost is $35 and includes a Columbus Crew ticket, soccer ball, t-shirtand prizes, along with some great fundamental instruction from coaches and players.
Instructors include: Tim Holdridge (Bellefontaine Men’s Soccer), Bellefontaine High School Men’s and Women’s Soccer Team, and Columbus Crew Soccer player. You can pick up a registration form from the Calvary Baptist Church office. Invite other kids in your community to come with you to this camp! For more information, contact the church office.
Here's a little something that should be fun to add. Over the next few weeks I plan to snap a picture of various staff people around the church going about their regular tasks. Letting you get an inside look at what really goes on around here during the week. Okay...maybe the picture won't actually give a very accurate portrayal of what takes place, but at least it should be entertaining.
This week we begin with non-other than Pastor Bob...
So we traditionally try to make Sundays a day of rest and refreshment. But this is one week when we're looking for the excitement to be a renewal for you. It might make for a long day, but hopefully you'll lay down that night thinking "It was good to be a part of Calvary's community today." Kind of like laying down on Thanksgiving night. It is a great day of family, friends, food, football, and food again; but by the end of the day your contentedly tired.
A few things that will be happening this Sunday include
1. A Bunch of Baptisms
2. A prayer of dedication for those going on the student missions trip. (trip begins June 20th)
3. VBS set-up (VBS runs from June 16-20)
4. Father's Day
5. Evening Service held at the new church property for a time of prayer and dedication.
After a lull in post for the past few months...an attempt is being made to revive the Heartbeat(clever huh). Look for some more posts on a regular basis again. Especially now that summer has kicked into high gear, expect to see plenty of posts about the numerous summer activities.
Pastor Kevin and Teresa Boggs have joined the staff of the church. Pastor Kevin's primary responsibilities will be counseling and administrative work. They come to us with a wealth of education and experience and we are excited to see God at work through them in our church. Look for their smiling faces around the church and be sure to ask them about their new grandbaby, or how the Reds are doing this year.
It's nearly softball season again and time for registration. If you're interested sign-up on the sheet in the foyer of the church.
Men of God has unfortunately had to be canceled. Thanks to the weather that God has blessed us with and the inability to travel safely in it, we have canceled. More details to follow soon.
No Men of God on Saturday March 8, 2008.
Kurt and Heather Barthauer live in Cable, and are the owners of Clayton Tire in Kenton. Their three children, Megan, Lauran, and Tyler all attend Calvary Christian School. Kurt enjoys music, computers, and woodworking. Heather enjoys (most days) taking care of their kids and time at the beach!
Please take the time to welcome the Barthauers to our church family.
