Israel Interest Meeting:
In a few weeks, on Easter Weekend, we will reflect upon the story of the cross. Can you imagine strolling through the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus prayed on the night of his betrayal and arrest? Or walking the steps Jesus did as He carried His cross to Calvary? Our church is taking a group to tour Israel in 2024, and we’ll see the hill on which our Savior died. We will see the tomb in which he was buried and from which he rose again, to bring us new life! Seeing these places with your own eyes will deepen your faith in profound ways. We still have more spaces available for our trip. Tour pricing, itinerary and details are available online: check them out and plan to bring your questions to our upcoming interest meeting today!
Agape Night:
Our next Agape Night is a couple weeks away. These monthly Wednesday evening gatherings are a time for God’s people to be together to fellowship, eat, worship, pray, and study the Word, as Acts 2:42 tells us that the early church "devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer."
Our hope is that Agape Nights will lead our church family further into a deeper love for the Lord and one another.
The Grille will be open for dinner from 5pm to 6pm with a different themed buffet meal each month. Worship will start at 6:15pm in the Main Sanctuary. Calvary Kids Club will learning about a different attribute of God each month, and is available for kids ages 1 year through 5th grade. Come early and stay late to hang out with old and new friends. Visit our website to get more information.
Thailand Missions Trip
We could not be more pumped to have the opportunity to take our high school and college students to Chiang Mai, Thailand this summer on a missions trip with our longtime missionary, David Joannes, through his missions organization, Within Reach Global.
We'll be there for 10 days this July, and will be doing outreach at the university, sharing the gospel at local english corners in the city, and visiting nearby villages with local pastors to encourage the believers there.
This will also be a transformative time for our students who go. We have 25 high schoolers, 5 young adults, and 5 adult leaders signed up for this trip. We're praying God would open our eyes to his kingdom work across the world and how he invites us to be a part of it.
But we can't go unless you, the church, help send us. We need your prayers and we need financial support. This trip costs approximately $2,500 per person... multiply that by 35 and that is a lot to raise. Please stop by our Thailand table on the patio anytime it's out to buy a baked good or drop some cash or a check in the donation box, and be sure to talk to a team member who is going on the trip.
We also want to make you aware that we'll have a fundraiser on the evening of April 14th! More details to come, but it'll be a time for you to meet with our team, hear about our trip, pray with us, and really invest in this missions work.
