ABC's In the D - Get involved!
Are you looking for an opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the lives of inner city students? Please, prayerfully consider how God would have you invest your time and talent in the life of an at-risk child. CBC is preparing to begin its 7th year with the ABC's in the D tutoring ministry as we partner with Central Detroit Christian! We need Christ-followers who are willing to be tutors and disciplers to elementary-aged students in Detroit. No experience is needed. Tutoring occurs on Saturday mornings, and tutors will rotate every other week.
Our tutoring year begins October 6 and ends March 30. There are several different ways you can be involved with ABC's in the D this year. Here are a few opportunities to consider:
Tutors – working alongside a child or a small group of children strengthening their core academic competencies
Teachers – facilitating hands-on learning with a small group of children with tutor assistance
Bible – sharing Bible stories in a large group with props and drama
Hospitality – assist with breakfast and lunch for the kids

Global Partner Christmas
One of our CBC traditions as a church family is joining together in sending a Christmas gift to our active global partners. It has been a wonderful way to encourage, bring joy, and even provide for needs that they may have at the Christmas season. Our goal is $14,000. Instructions for this giving opportunity are available at the table in the West Lobby. You may pick up a “cash and change” jar to take home with you, or you may use your regular envelope; mark it “Global Partner Christmas,” and the amount donated. The last day to turn in your gift will be Sunday, November 5. Thank you!

CBC Adoption Spotlight - Extended Version
We have been brought into God’s family and made God’s children. From God we have received “the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father’” (Rom. 8:15). As far as our status is concerned, we are no longer “strangers and aliens” to the people of God but “members of the household of God” (Eph. 2:19). How then should we respond? James 1:27 says, "Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world."
We're so thankful for the many Calvary families who have adopted, fostered, volunteered, or been advocates for orphan care. This video shares just a few of those stories. We hope that they will bless and inspire you.
Global Partner Spotlight - Fasold
Jim and Carolyn Fasold serve with Greater Europe Mission in Spain. Calvary has been partnering with the Fasolds for nearly 50 years! God has provided them with some incredible opportunities for 2017.

Life in the Light - Intro Videos
“No longer will you need the sun to shine by day,
nor the moon to give its light by night,
for the LORD your God will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set; your moon will not go down.
For the LORD will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.
Isaiah 60:19-20 (NLT)
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1 (ESV)
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
Matthew 5:14-16
For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.
Ephesians 5:8-11
