Last Sunday after the service someone came up to me and said, "This sermon series has totally transformed the way I do my work." I asked where she was employed. "I work at the post office and have worked there for years," she said. Joy welled up in my soul. This is what I live for! Increasing the joy of God's people--postal workers, plumbers, professors, painters--and the list goes on!
This Sunday will be our final installment of the "Made to Work" series, and I will be talking about what to do when work is hard. You are sure to be blessed!
Can I urge you to make worship a priority this summer? Perhaps this can be a season of renewal for you in every way--even spiritually! We will make sure that every Sunday at Calvary is worth your while! Be here--and bring a friend.
Father's Day
Bring your blanket or chairs and join us on Sunday, June 15 at the downtown Central Park Plaza Amphitheater for a combined outdoor worship service at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate Dad's and Family! After the service, stick around the park, have a picnic (food vendors will be on site), toss a frisbee, walk around our 'Cruise In' of cars and enjoy spending time with your family and friends.

Join our Senior Pastor Lionel Young and his wife Stacy for the trip of a lifetime to the land of the Bible. Calvary's first ever 'Discover Israel' study tour will be February 1-12, 2015. CLICK HERE for further details on this amazing adventure.
Global Missions
Calvary is excited to be sending out two mission teams in July in partnership with Kids Alive International! Our student ministries will be sending a group to Guatemala to help with construction of a new girls home. This will make room for more girls who have suffered abuse and need to experience the love of Jesus. We are also sending eight married couples to Mitaboni, Kenya, to construct a playground and shower the children with love! Please be praying for both of these teams as they represent Calvary and spread the gospel around the world. If you would like to donate to these ministries, CLICK HERE and write a memo of "2014 Summer Mission Trip" in the note.
