April Highlights
A NOTE FROM PASTOR HENRY: Hola, Calvarians! God is leading His church! I pray you were BLESSED by the worship this past Sunday! The blowing of the shofar, the music, the flags, the freedom in the Spirit, and the openness to let everyone experience God in a way that changes their lives.
Joshua 6:20 (NET) The rams’ horns (shofar) sounded, and when the army heard the signal, they gave a loud battle cry. The wall collapsed, and the warriors charged straight ahead into the city and captured it.
We will start each worship service during the Vision 2023 sermon series by blowing the shofar (a ram's horn) to signify our new season. Blowing the shofar is our physical and spiritual declaration that we are a spiritual army led by Christ. We are boldly advancing to take back spiritual territory in our homes, communities, and nation from the enemy.
Hallelujah! We have the victory in Christ!
New Life this Spring
In April, we were blessed to celebrate believer’s baptisms, Resurrection Sunday, and to host around 100 guests at the New Hope Conference (Upper Midwest GMC). Thanks to those who served the Easter breakfast, facilitated our Town Hall, and to ROB STAIGER and team for replacing shingles on Calvary’s roof!
Do you desire to be like Jesus and be used by Jesus? Then join this great opportunity to serve organizations in the FM area while being the hands and feet of Jesus. You will serve alongside brothers/sisters in Christ who attend different churches as we go out serving as Jesus did (Matthew 20:28). United by one Lord, one faith, one hope, one baptism, one God and Father of all (Ephesians 4:1-7).
