FROM THE SENIOR PASTOR

Cars and More Cars!

A year ago, we held our first Calvary Cruise-In. It was an outstanding success! We were surprised by the number of cars registered and the number of people who attended. It gave us the opportunity to welcome new people onto our campus, get to know them, invite them to our services, and present the Gospel. This is another example of Calvary reaching out with the love and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. 


This Saturday, we have the second Calvary Cruise-In. Everyone is invited! We will have many car “nuts,” and others who simply want to see the wide variety of cars. Do pray for all the arrangements to go well, for good weather, and for Pastor Jim Cashwell as he proclaims the Gospel.

Pastor John H. Munro
