Calvary Link: Happy 2015

Calvary-Link-Good-to-be-HomeI hope you are blessed with a safe and joy-filled New Year! I look forward to seeing you on the first Sunday of 2015 as we continue our sermon series, Finding Joy in the Journey, during our regular worship times at 8:15a, 9:45a, and 11:15a.

And as you look forward to 2015, think about joining me on an incredible journey through the Bible with daily devotions through Lectio Divina. I promise you that being in God's word will increase your joy in the coming year.
