Let's Get in the Book Together!
We start our journey in Forty Days of Wisdom a week from tomorrow! This week let's examine our hearts and prepare for what God IS going to teach us.
Cardboard Testimonies
This morning's message was on transformation. We were challenged to share our stories with others. What is your story of transformation? Who will you tell?

Streamlining
We are learning as we go along right with you! We have decided to streamline some of this a bit. Rather than having all of us go to so many sites to participate, we have eliminated one. You can now participate in discussion right on our facebook page! So rather than having to go to another website and sign up for another user name and password, if you are on facebook and a fan of Calvary Baptist Community than you are all set! We hope this will encourage more people to participate in the discussion. Simply click on the discussion tab on our Calvary Baptist Community wall or click here to go directly to the discussions already started!
We now only have three main ways of connecting: facebook, this blog, and twitter.
Thanks for being patient with us as we work out the kinks! Less than two weeks until we start our Forty Days of Wisdom journey! How is God preparing you?

Don't Miss Our Roll Call!
We want to involve as many people from the ministry of Calvary that we can in this Forty Days of Wisdom journey that we will collectively be starting on March 1st. The booklets for this journey will be handed out in the morning service on February 28th. One way to participate in this journey is here on this blog, on our facebook page and in our discussion corner over here. In order to foster an authentic community we encourage everyone to participate in conversation and discussion regarding how God is using this journey in your own life. We believe every person is a vital part of the body of Christ, and we value what you have to say.
We will be hosting a roll call of sorts here on this blog on Sunday afternoon, February 28th. This will let all of us see who is committing to the Forty Days of Wisdom. We hope this will be a source of encouragement and a prayer support. On that day you will simply be asked to leave one comment on the roll call post. You can leave your comment anonymously, but it would really aid in your participation if you signed up with a google account. You can do that by clicking here. We are earnestly praying that these coming Forty Days of Wisdom would impact each of our hearts individually and strengthen our community of Calvary Baptist church. We hope you are as excited as we are! Feel free to start discussing early - don't forget to become a follower here and on twitter, and become a fan on facebook! Let us encourage one another as we prepare our hearts for what God has ahead for us, our church - our community.

Taking Steps
Our walk is all about strides... taking steps God-ward and seeing Him through the process. It is so important to recognize His plan--especially when our world seems like mass chaos.
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9

Community - A Place to Grow in Christ
Proverbs 13:20 "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."
Being part of a community helps us to live wisely.
God created humans to be in relationships to have a genuine and authentic community with fellow believers. Because this requirement is so fundamental to human beings, it is also fundamental to the church. God wants us to experience community and to obtain a longing for the perfect community that He is creating for us in heaven.
Our prayer is that this blog and our forum here will be a place for real community within Calvary Baptist Church. We hope this will be a soft landing for dynamic, Christ-centered discussion, for questions and answers about our faith, for side-by-side growth, for encouragement, and for prayer requests.
"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."
Hebrews 3:13
We do not want the community to stop here on the web, though. Our desire is that the community formed here can be widened and strengthened face-to-face with our church family. We want this to be a jumping off point. We look forward to discussing our Forty Days of Wisdom challenge here, as well as encouraging one another in other areas, but we long to be a unified community that extends farther than the computer screen.
Discuss with us.
Grow with us.
Jump in the water's warm; your community is waiting.
Think about some of these questions and share with us here. (It's easy, quick, and free to set up an account.)
How does being part of a community help us to “live wisely”?
Where are some places people look for community?
Do you think most people associate community with church?
Explain.
