Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
(Matthew 6:10)
In March of each year, Calvary’s membership takes time to consider what transpired the previous year. It is with great gratitude that we look back on 2022. God has shown Himself to be faithful and blessed His church in so many ways.
I give thanks for God’s goodness. From the presence of the Holy Spirit in our services, to repeated stories of divine intervention, God has been so good to Calvary. 2022 was a year of increase in attendance, giving, missions involvement and community impact.
I give thanks for God’s people. Calvary is a special place with very special people. Through your involvement in ministry, lives are changed literally every day. Thank you for your sacrifice and service to allow God to work through you. Through your tithes and offerings, Calvary’s leaders were equipped to provide ministry both inside and outside the walls of the church. Because of sacrificial giving by many, we were able to pay off our mortgage in December of 2022.
I give thanks for God’s heart. God loves people. Through personal evangelism and global missions, individuals are finding salvation in Jesus Christ because of the people of Calvary Church.
I give thanks for God’s plans. Jesus taught us to pray that His kingdom and His will would be done in our lives. It is my firm belief that 2023 will be a year of seeing God’s kingdom growing in new and exciting ways. In these challenging times, God is leading His church to bring life change to many.
I give thanks for you. Rhonda and I consider it a tremendous privilege to serve with you at Calvary Church. The Calvary staff team and Deacon Board that serves you are some of the finest people I know. Together, I believe we are just beginning to see the things that God wants to do at Calvary Church. Thank you for believing, praying and acting to see lives changed through Jesus Christ!
