Jubilate! Handbell Choir Concert
Posted by Alan on May 2, 2019
May 14, 2019
7:00 PM
Calvary Baptist Church
Derby, Kansas
The name Jubilate refers to an outburst of joy and triumph as in Psalm 100: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth!" This 11-member English handbell choir from Appalachian Bible College is traveling to churches and schools in Illinois, Kansas, and Colorado in May 2019.
The theme of the program is Made to Serve, built around Hebrews 11:8: “By faith when [Abraham] was called to go out… he obeyed… not knowing where he was going.”
Besides five octaves of handbells, the Jubilate program incorporates additional instruments, drama and testimonies, and a brief challenge from Dr. Anderson at the closing. The concert is engaging and inspiring for all ages. Admission is free.
If you are interested in housing students on the night of May 14 after the concert, please fill out a Housing Form (find them outside the church office) and turn it into the church office.

Passover Seder Service
Posted by Alan on March 12, 2019
Sunday Evening
April 7, 2019
5 pm
Meal Provided
Free Ticket Required - Sign up at the table in the CBC foyer
Passover is the annual festival of remembrance celebrated worldwide by the Jewish people and many Christians.
On April 7, we will conduct a special service and meal called a Seder. At Passover, we remember the deliverance of the ancient Israelites from the bondage of slavery in Egypt. The blood of the lamb was spread on the door frame so the Death Angel would pass over.
We also remember how God made possible all mankind's ultimate deliverance from the bondage of sin by the blood of another lamb, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
You don't want to miss this special evening. Experience a traditional Jewish Passover Seder with an emphasis on Jesus the Messiah and His Last Supper. This night will certainly be different from any other - come celebrate your deliverance with us!
This event is free - tickets are required.
Sign up at the table in the foyer to reserve your place!
Children are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Evening Events:
5:00 - 6:00 Seder
This will be an enjoyable, family-oriented time recreating a Passover meal in the dining room of a Jewish family. Each table will display the traditional elements, and we will go through the meal step-by-step explaining the significance of each part.
More than a Jewish tradition, this time together will be a joyous remembrance of our deliverance from the bondage of sin through the death of the Lamb - Jesus Christ.
6:00 - 7:00 Meal
The Seder service will be followed by a church-family dinner.
The meal will be provided by the church.
7:00 - 7:30 Seder Conclusion
We will wrap up this special evening of blessing and remembering God's goodness and provision.
