<p class="has-medium-font-size"><sup>9</sup> But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— <sup>10</sup> these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.</p>

<h2>Two Opportunities to Worship!</h2>
<p>Christmas 2023 falls on a Monday.  So not only will Calvary be having a morning service on Christmas Eve, there will also be an evening service as well!</p>
<p>Join us for Sunday Morning Worship (10:30 AM) and Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (5:00 PM) on December 24, 2023.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Now is the time </i>to start thinking about which family member, friend or co-worker you wish to invite to one or both services.</p>

<p>In the case of Jargalmaa, a 7-year-old in Mongolia. She received a box with a simple yet powerful note that said, </p>




		<div class='et_quote'>
			<div class='et_right_quote'>
				You are valuable and so loved by God.
				
			</div>
			<span class='et_quote_sign'></span>
		</div>
	



<p>This meant a lot because she had never heard &#8220;I love you&#8221; from her parents or grandparents. She then followed through as part of The Greatest Journey discipleship program and later accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior in 10th grade. </p>

<p></p>



<p>15 years after receiving her shoebox gift, Jargalmaa, her husband, and two young children (pictured above) have recently moved to a new community where they are ministering to youth in hopes of starting a church.</p>




		<div class='et_quote'>
			<div class='et_right_quote'>
				I would like to challenge people wo are preparing shoebox gifts to also write a letter showing God&#8217;s love. What&#8217;s written there may be very simple, but those simple words could completely change somebody&#8217;s life.
