I took a tour of the new Life Change Center yesterday. Our vision is taking physical shape! The inside is looking amazing, but there is still work to be done before the building opens toward the end of summer. It’s hard to believe that a dream we started dreaming 5 years ago is about to reach its first major milestone—the opening of a new space that will help change lives forever.
Last Sunday at Coffee with the Pastors, I talked with people who have been coming to Calvary for just a short time. I heard a story about how someone had been impacted in a life-changing way by the God Songs series in Psalms, another about how much a family’s children loved VBS and Sunday morning Calvary Kids, and still another from a couple who knew they’d found the right church when they witnessed our commitment to rescuing orphans and planting churches. Week after week, in big and small ways, the gospel is getting into people’s lives and changing them.
And while we are busy at work here, we are also going out into all the world! Check out our Global Outreach Facebook page.
This Sunday I’m looking forward to being back with you and opening God’s Word to the most famous psalm, Psalm 23. Come worship the One who refreshes souls and who comforts and protects. See you Sunday!
