Prayer of the Day
We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ your dear Son, that you have protected us through the night from all harm and danger. We ask that you would also protect us today from sin and all evil, so that our life and actions may please you. Into your hands we commend ourselves: our bodies, our souls, and all that is ours. Let your holy angel be with us, so that the wicked foe may have no power over us. Amen. Martin Luther's Morning Prayer
August 24 & 25, 2013

What’s Happening at Baldwin Center?
Baldwin Center is pleased to announce that they are a new sponsor of the summer feeding program in Pontiac. Each day throughout the summer Baldwin will be preparing healthy breakfasts and lunches which will be delivered throughout the City. Over 100 volunteers from Clarkston United Methodist Church came to Baldwin Center to transform its youth spaces. This week long mission trip, The Adult Righteous Mission Trip involved nearly 100 members of the Clarkston congregation. The group gathered at the church for breakfast and prayer then headed to Baldwin to get to work. The new facility was ready for the families for the registration open house on Friday evening. In order to celebrate a block party was held for the neighborhood. A bounce house, snow cones and hot dogs were served to over 150 people. Thank you Clarkston United Methodist Church for providing a warm, inviting, and enriching environment for our children to come to every day for academic support, enriching activities and most importantly, love.
The Baldwin Center is currently accepting donations of school supplies and backpacks for its annual backpack give away. Last year over 700 backpacks were distributed, enriching the learning process for many children around the Pontiac community. The Heart of Baldwin Gala was a great success and the Baldwin Center truly appreciates the generosity of all who attended. This first year event raised over $40,000 to help further the mission. We at Calvary continue to support this mission by serving there.

In this summer sermon series we will take a fresh look at some very familiar stories in order to gain new perspectives and deeper insight into these “Bible Stories You Thought You Knew.”
Bible stories included are Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors, Moses, Joshua and the Walls of Jericho, Samson, Jonah, David and Goliath and Daniel in the Lion’s Den.

Circle of Caring Telephone friends
Recently an idea was discussed at the “Matter of Balance: Reducing the risk of falling” series: One simple but very effective strategy to help elders remain safe & independent in their own homes for as long as possible, is to have a loved one, neighbor, or friend call them on the phone just to “check in” each day and make sure everything is OK. Caring Companion Ministry would like to coordinate a “Circle of Caring” toward this effort. If you would like to receive a brief caring phone call each day, or if you would be willing to make such a caring phone call each day, or on certain days of the week, please let Cindy Dixon or Leslie Welbourn know at 248-625-3288 (church office) Ext. #216. Blessed to be a blessing!
