Every day we hear about the tragedies happening in the Middle East and around the world where children are caught in the crossfire of terror. But you can join the lovement to redeem the lives of these little ones. Visit reloadlove.com and help arm children with hope by making a one-time donation or by becoming a monthly donor.

The Lord demonstrated His great love to us by sending hope in the gift of Jesus Christ. We can demonstrate our love for Him by helping make Christmas special for homeless and needy children in our community. Place new, unwrapped toys in the large gift boxes in the foyer, under the Christmas tree in the amphitheater, or in Bible Island by Sunday, December 22.

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.

God is deeply concerned with the ins and outs of your life, and nothing does His work in your heart like His Word—His love letter to you. Each page reveals His character and wisdom, so you can grow closer to Him and live out His plans for your life.

We want to give you a practical way to increase your knowledge of God's Word with this month's resource from Connect with Skip Heitzig—The Bible from 30,000 Feet. In this overview of the Bible from Pastor Skip, you'll discover how God calls to you throughout the overarching story of Scripture. Along the way, you'll learn the major themes, principles, people, and events from every book of the Bible as you spend one year flying from Genesis to Revelation.

Grow closer to God as you seek to understand the full scope of Scripture when you give a gift to the ministry online or when you donate by phone at 800.922.1888.

Calvary College has partnered with Veritas International University, a leading Christian university with world-renowned evangelical scholars as instructors, including Skip Heitzig. Take online, fully accredited classes working towards a certificate, BA, MA, or PhD. To learn more, visit calvaryabq.college.

Keep Jesus the focus of your holiday season and join us for these special events. Invite your friends and family who don't normally come to church, so they can know about true life in Christ.
