Jesus loved little children—and so do we! As I often say, “Children are not the future of our church—they are an important part of our church family right now!” In fact, did you know that our children are already making a difference in the world? Yes—the children at Calvary fully sponsor two orphans—Adam and Mumwiza—at our own Kids Alive home in Mitaboni, Kenya. I just love, love, love it!
I learned in staff meeting on Monday that on Sunday we had more than 240 children here at Calvary. I just said, “Wow!” It seems these days that we are growing everywhere! I also heard that our team of committed volunteers could really use some help. Perhaps you would consider helping our team make a difference in the lives of our children—who are already making a difference in the world. More info will be available this Sunday.
Speaking of this Sunday—I can’t wait to open the Word—and encourage you to Live Strong before the Audience of One. I also have some exciting news to share with you about up and coming outreach opportunities we are planning here at Calvary. It’s getting crowded around here on Sunday—so be here on time and get a good seat.
Live Strong Friends, Lionel
