This week I’ll be sharing the “Blessed Hope” found in Titus 2:13. If ever there was a time that people need hope, it’s now. However, this particular hope deals with the coming of the Lord, which is the Christian’s ultimate hope when Jesus comes for His children at the rapture of the church. It’s a great week to invite a guest to Calvary Chapel.
We also want to acknowledge Alexis Sell who will be headed to her basic training with the United States Marine Corps. We will pray for Alexis this Sunday.
In recognition of Memorial Day weekend, next Sunday, we will focus on the freedoms we cherish because of those men and women who paid the ultimate price with their lives while serving in the United States Armed Services. We will recognize our veterans and have one of our retired vets share a war story. I will share Scriptures that relate to Memorial Day, especially about the One who sacrificed His life to free us from the bondage of Satan, sin, and self. Invite a veteran for this special Memorial Day service.
Let’s believe God to help us pay off what we owe on the church facility. With the Lord’s help, we’ve paid off everything except the remaining $31K. Of course, there are always maintenance and upgrade expenses, but if we get the mortgage paid off we’ll be in good shape.
I also want to thank you for your faithful regular giving of tithes, offerings, missions, and special projects. Though we don’t receive a Sunday morning offering, God has still blessed us with your giving in the agape (love) boxes in the foyer and giving thru the mail. Thank you!
