ANNOUNCEMENTS
Deep South Pastors Conference 2025

This year’s Deep South Pastors Conference will be September 1-3, and we invite you to come be a part!  Our theme this year is “Lessons for Leaders”. It’s three days of teaching, fellowship, and delicious BBQ! Facilitating the conference has a lot of moving parts, and we will need your help to make it all possible! We are seeking volunteers to assist in various ways, including serving food, maintaining the building, and more! If you have a heart to serve in this way, we encourage you to sign up! You can stop by the information counter this morning or call the church office during the week. For more information, please speak with one of our pastors.

Please be in prayer for the pastors speaking at the conference, the pastors attending, and the volunteers who will be serving.

Join us on Sunday, August 31 at 6:00 PM at Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain for this special service in the Sanctuary, followed by cake under the Pavilion.

Fall Volleyball League

Sign-ups are open for our Fall Volleyball League. CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED. Games begin Sunday, September 7, so don’t wait – you must register by the end of August in order to play. The cost? Completely FREE. We’re doing this to build fellowship and enjoy some fun, God-honoring competition – fighting for the volleyball trophy! The league is open to CCSM members ONLY – adults and high schoolers are welcome (ages 16 and up!). You can either sign up as an INDIVIDUAL, or with 1 to 2 friends. We will then build the teams and assign you to your team of 6-8 people. See you on the court!

CALVARY CHAPEL LEXINGTON MEN’S CONFERENCE || Men, Mark Your Calendar – The Deep South Men’s Conference is scheduled for October 3-4 at the Calvary Chapel in Lexington, SC.  A flyer with all of the details is available at the Information Counter.  The theme is The Hall of Faith, taken from Hebrews chapter 11.  The speakers will include David Guzik, Ken Graves, Frank Ramseur, and our own Pastor Sandy.  If you are interested in attending, pick up a flyer today. Talk to Pastor James if you have any questions. 

Women's Gathering: "The Full Armor of God"

Ladies! We want to invite you to a special event coming up at Calvary Chapel—our Women’s Gathering, titled “Full Armor of God.” This is an overnight retreat to open God’s Word together, worship, pray, and be equipped for the battles we face every day. We’ll be walking through Ephesians 6, where Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God, because we’re not fighting flesh and blood. We’re in a spiritual war, and we need to be ready. Whether you’ve been walking with the Lord for years or you’re just getting started, this retreat is for you. So mark your calendar, invite a friend, and make plans to join us. All the details and registration are at calvarycsm.com/register. We can’t wait to see you there!

Ladies Bible Study: Steadfast

Ladies’ Bible Studies have begun! There are still a few spots left in our Friday morning Bible study that meets here in the Brook at 9:30 am. They also offer childcare. Sign up this morning at the information counter! 

Men's Discipleship

Men’s Discipleship group study has begun.  There is an AM and a PM study.  Most of us meet on Thursdays at 7 PM here at the church.  There is also a 7 AM study at the Chick-Fil-A in Lilburn.  We’re reading the book, The Case for Christ by author Lee Strobel. 

Whether you’ve recently started following Christ or you’re still exploring His claims, this study will be especially valuable. Strobel’s investigation into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus will not only strengthen your own faith but also equip you to respond to the questions and objections of those you’ve been witnessing to.

Each week, we’ll read a few chapters on our own, then gather in small groups on Thursday nights to discuss what we’ve learned. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” We all need sharpening—and this study has the potential to make a lasting impact in your walk with the Lord.

You can sign up today at the Information Counter. The cost is $10, which includes your copy of the book.

Unshaken Kids

Unshaken Kids is on its way BACK! For TEN Wednesday nights starting September 10, we invite all kids from 3 years old- 5th grade to join us for a mid-week reminder about the powerful love of God. We try to make Wednesday nights a little … louder, and a little more … high energy while still getting into the truths of God’s word. And conveniently, middle school and high school are meeting here all at the same time, 6:00-7:30 pm. So mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 10, for the start of Unshaken!

The After is a Bible study for young adults who are out of college. We meet on Monday nights at 6:30 PM in the Calvary Cabin. Childcare is not provided. If you have questions or need directions, contact the church office or follow us on Instagram at @ccsmtheafter. For more info on our Young Adults ministry, check out this page.

 

In Romans chapter 6, Paul teaches us about the enslaving nature of sin.  In the beginning, as we toy with sin, we think we are in control, but very quickly, sin can take over our lives. We are not just talking about drugs or alcohol.  Any type of sin can take hold in our lives and spin us out of control.  Free Indeed is a Bible study designed to help you acquire tools that will equip you to battle the sin that so easily ensnares you more effectively. If you could use some help, why not join us? We meet in the Brook, in the back corner of the building. We meet most Tuesday evenings at 7 PM, and I know you can find help from the study of God’s Word and from the support of others! 

 

OFC is an informal morning fellowship for men meeting on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 AM in the Brook (contact John Borger for more details). We discuss family, share humor, review local, national, and world issues, and spend time in a casual study of God's word.

 

We’re excited to launch a new phase of our Time Out ministry, called “The Link". We are connected families walking side-by-side in faith and friendship. Parents with kids of any age are welcome! The first meeting will be this Saturday evening, August 23, in the Brook from 6:30-8:30. Please sign up at the Information counter if you plan on attending.

Backpack Buddies

Backpack Buddies is an outreach partnering with Shiloh Elementary. Each week during the school year, we send home backpacks of food to students on the free and reduced lunch program. Each school day they are provided a meal by the school, however, on the weekends, they are often on their own. So our bags of food are sent home on Friday afternoons. Only certain foods can be sent home, so make sure you check out the approved foods list at the info counter! We are particularly looking for pudding cups, small cereal boxes, and canned meals. Thank you so much for your support!
