Midweek Meditation: Wednesday, June 4, 2025
Dear Calvary Family,
“And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God”. (Rom 8:27)
How do I know if the Holy Spirit is in me?
If you are a believer, who accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have been given a gift of the Holy Spirit. I believe that you have the gift that Jesus promised before He ascended. I even believe that the Holy Spirit was working in you (prevenient grace) to lead you to Christ!
But more important than that is, are you being led by the Holy Spirit? How do you know?
Have you asked the Holy Spirit to help you make a decision? When was the last time you turned for the answers and for guidance to Him? Be patient in waiting and learning how to hear and how to obey.
If you truly want to know Him and obey Him, you will know the Holy Spirit because it is God’s desire that you do what pleases Him. You have to believe.
This Sunday is the day that we can turn to the third person of the Trinity and let that fire of truth and power guide us into holiness.
May the Holy Spirit lead, til we meet on Sunday of Pentecost.
…And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit remain with you all,
Pastor Jolita
Here’s what’s happening in the life of our Church and how you can get involved:
LEGO CAMP REGISTRATION UNDERWAY FOR PARTICIPANTS AND VOLUNTEERS
LEGO Camp is happening Monday, July 21 through Wednesday, July 23 from 8:00am until 1:00pm. We need many people to volunteer as we expect approximately 150 campers this year. Volunteers may sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0F45ABAC2AA3F85-56762360-lego. A registration form for campers is available here: https://calvaryunited.org/summer-camp/. Paper registration forms for both volunteers and campers are also available on the Mission Table in the hallway across from the office. The deadline for campers to register is July 1.
And if you’re volunteering, please note 11:15 Sunday, June 29 on your calendar! There will be a meeting for all volunteers in the sanctuary.
LEGOS WANTED
The Missions & Outreach team will have a couple of bins in the narthex to collect LEGOs again ahead of this year’s camp in July. Cleaning out a closet? Child has outgrown them? We’ll take them! As a side note: we would prefer actual LEGOs because the off-brands do not lock well with LEGOs. Thank you for your help and donations!
FASTTRACK
The Brownsburg Schools are hosting FastTrack again this year. This is a program that collects school supplies from organizations in the community, like our church, and then hosts a Saturday in July for local families in need to “shop” for those supplies and even get free haircuts! We are going to collect pencils again this year. The next time you’re in the store or shopping online, please pick up a pack of pencils! We’ll have a collection bin at the Mission table in the hall across from the office. Thank you for helping in this way!
MINISTRY UPDATE AND Q&A SESSION
On Sunday, June 22, following the service, grab your coffee and donut and find a seat in fellowship hall for updates regarding our ministry and for question-and-answer time.
SUMMER CHOIR
Have you thought about giving Choir a try? Summer Choir is the perfect way to do that! There’s no weekday rehearsal. Instead, meet us this Sunday, June 8, in the choir room at 9:00 am ahead of the service. We’ll also sing June 22, July 6, August 3, and August 17, if you can make it. Come when you can! If you have any questions, reach out to Mark on Sunday or at mherris@calvaryunited.org.
COMMUNION STEWARDS
We are in need of a couple more Communion servers to help on the first Sunday of the month, ideally every other month. If you are willing to help serve, please contact the office (office@CalvaryUnited.org).
A HISTORIC PUMP ORGAN LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME
Do you love old things with stories to tell? Sitting in our church hallway right now is a beautiful piece of musical history – a genuine Estey pump organ looking for a new home!
Made by the Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont, this charming keyboard instrument dates back to an era when music filled front parlors and country chapels alike. Estey made over half a million of these delightful organs between 1846 and 1955, known for their rich sound and decorative woodwork. Ours is in good working order (though one of the candle holders has a bit of a wobble – just adds character, we think!).
Here are the details:
• Organ Dimensions: 42½” tall × 22¾” deep × 45” wide (or 54” wide including the candle holders)
• Includes a bench: 30” wide × 13½” deep × 21¼” tall
If you’re a music lover, an antiques enthusiast, or just someone with room in your home and heart, this might be the perfect treasure for you. Stop by and see it! The church is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, and we’d be happy to let you take a look. Let’s find this lovely old organ the good home it deserves!
CLASSICS LUNCHEON
The next lunch is Tuesday, June 24 at Noon and we’ll be celebrating Independence Day with pulled pork barbecue and patriotic music! Bring a friend and your favorite side or dessert! RSVP with us in the office or on the sign-up sheet at the Mission Table in the hallway across from the office.
LEARNING ACADEMY OPENINGS
Calvary Learning Academy has a few openings in the Toddler Room (walking age), the Pre-K class, and the Kinderskills class for the 2025-2026 school year. We would love to have your families and friends join in the learning fun. Please share the word with others looking for a Christian learning environment! Reach out to us with any questions at (317) 852-2594. The registration form is online at https://calvaryunited.org/registration/. We look forward to hearing from you!
