I have the wonderful privilege of teaching the Calvary Membership Course. The last one concluded on October 11, with an average attendance of over 80! It was remarkable and encouraging to meet people from all over the world in this class. Some are recent immigrants, whereas others have been in the United States for a few years. The common theme of why they come to Calvary is to hear the Word of God and participate in Christ-honoring worship. Those with children and students express their deep gratitude for our ministries to their families.
On Saturdays, October 28 and November 4, I will teach the membership course again. If you regard Calvary as your spiritual home and have yet to become a member, I encourage you to SIGN UP for these classes. Gudny and I look forward to meeting you there!
