In preparation for Freedom Celebration, the Calvary Church campus will be closed on Friday, June 29. Please note that services at Calvary Church Albuquerque on Saturday, June 30, and at 8 am on Sunday, July 1, are canceled.

Bring your family and friends to Freedom Celebration, Friday-Saturday, June 29-30, at Isotopes Park. Doors open at 5 pm, and the event starts at 7 pm. Both nights feature food concessions, inflatables for the kids, a spectacular fireworks display, and a powerful message by Skip Heitzig, plus high-energy live music. See you there.

You can play a part in Freedom Celebration. This event is free to all who attend, but we will receive an offering to help cover the cost of the outreach. We encourage a culture of generous giving. We give obediently to God, according to His call, and generously, according to our hearts. When you donate to Freedom Celebration, you join a team that will stop at nothing to accomplish our mission of pursuing a lost world.

Ways to give:

• Envelopes on seats at Isotopes Park
• Online at freedomabq.org
• Text freedomabq to 77977

Join us this weekend as we continue the series …but God. Most people avoid talking about death, but death is a sure thing. Scripture even calls death our enemy (see 1 Corinthians 15:6). In the message "Death Is Certain...but God," Pastor Skip shares how God transforms this enemy into a friend.

Do you love challenges? That's what the Calvary School of Ministry is all about: it challenges you in your faith and trains you for ministry. In ten months of intensive study, you'll dive into topics like Bible knowledge, theology, church history, apologetics, and more. It's the challenge of a lifetime, and the payoff is eternal.

Registration is now open for the 2018-2019 school year; learn more at calvarynm.church/som.

What are Connect Groups? Not awkward circles or mini home churches or judgmental groups—but authentic, life-giving, gospel-centered communities. Connect Groups are our intentional approach to community and discipleship within the church. These home-based community groups are a place to learn how to apply the Bible, build friendships, and serve—a place to live life together. They are the way in which we can gather under the Word of God and then scatter for the mission of God. Connect Groups make our very large church more intimate and a place for people to call home. Next to worship and Bible teaching, they are the most important thing we do.

Visit calvarynm.church/connect to find a group near you.

Understanding the book of Genesis is crucial to understanding the rest of the Bible. So start at the beginning with Skip Heitzig's new book, You Can Understand the Book of Genesis. Take a fresh look at the accounts on which the rest of Scripture is built: the creation of the world, the fall of mankind, and God's establishment of the nation of Israel. Learn not just the origins of man, but also the origins of God's plan for redemption.

Get your copy at Parchments, online, or wherever books are sold. For more information, visit understandthebook.com.

Christians often dismiss the book of Genesis without engaging in the text beyond creation and the fall. Skip Heitzig's highly anticipated new book, You Can Understand the Book of Genesis, invites believers back to the beginning with an in-depth exploration of the very foundation of our faith. Follow along and learn not just the origins of man, but also the origins of God's plan for redemption.
