Hi Calvary Church family!

Today is day 13 of our 64-day journey through the Gospel of Matthew. I hope you are being diligent with your daily SOAP and I pray that you are already reaping practical benefits from your personal quiet time with the Lord.

I encourage you to check out the SOAP blog on our website or on the Calvary app, and the resources to help you SOAP! Reading the blog posts will give you some additional insights that you may not have gained from your own reading and meditation. Here is my application from my day 13 blog post.

The growth of God’s kingdom is of ultimate value and must be my #1 priority.

The devil tries to switch the price tags. He wants to deceive me into thinking that those things which have little or no value have immense value and the things which possess immense value have little or no value. If I listen to him, I will squander my resources and waste my life.

If I renew my mind on Jesus’ words and listen to the Holy Spirit, I will discern what is most valuable in life (The Kingdom of God and righteousness) and life a live a truly productive life!

If serving God is my #1 priority than I won’t be consumed with acquiring this world’s goods.

“Only one life will soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” – unknown

I don’t have to worry because I serve a God who is all powerful and loves me as his child. When I find myself worrying I need to recognize that I am believing one or more of these lies: I am either believing that God doesn’t know my needs, isn’t able to meet my needs, or doesn’t care about my needs. The truth is he KNOWS, he CARES and he CAN!!

It is time to start planning and preparing for ready to bless the families in our community as we host them for our GREAT ANNUAL CALVARY CHURCH EGG HUNT at Curtis Park. Our Egg Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, March 23. The rain date is March 30.

We will need at least 60 volunteers to help us effectively run this outreach which has for years given us the opportunity to SHARE the love of Jesus to the children and their families of our community and invite them to Calvary so they can LEARN the good news about Jesus and LIVE the new life which comes through Him.

There are many different ways to serve in preparation for this event. PLEASE consider joining one of our teams: Parking Team, Food Service Team, Set Up Team, Egg Zone Team, Inflatables Team, Medical Response Team, Loading/Unloading Team, Greeting Team, Sound Team, and Registration/Prize Distribution Team

We also need lots of volunteers to fill 14,000 plastic eggs with candy before the event. Bags of plastic eggs will be ready for you to take home and fill within the next coupe of weeks.

Have you experienced a loss of a loved one? GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where you will find comfort, support, and healing for your loss.

It’s not too late to join the current 13-week session on Mondays at 7:00 p.m!
