Calvary to hold patriotic services

Calvary Baptist Church in Cleburne will have a God and country celebration in its 8:45 and 11 a.m. Sunday services.

The Calvary Singers, Calvary Quartet and Music Makers will perform patriotic music, and Pastor Charles Payne will preach a sermon titled “Remember Our Foundation.”

Members of the armed forces will be special guests and prayer will be offered for active duty personnel and veterans.

David Smith, a missionary to England, will speak at the 7 p.m. service.

Smith is curator of a Bible collection in London and will preach from the Bible of Emma Darwin, wife of naturalist Charles Darwin.
