No doubt, your greatest days are ahead! Your acceptance of Paul and his family, and of course his ministry, will prove to be only the starting points of what God desires to accomplish. As I have stated many times, be patient, positive and prayerful. A fresh start! A new day! This coming weekend should prove to be a great time for Calvary’s youth! Your church tomorrow is our youth today. Continue to love and support them. Nate is doing a good job and has nothing but the best in his heart for Calvary’s youth. What happens this weekend will touch your home, various schools and certainly Calvary. Join Nate in making this life-changing investment! He values your support! I will return on January 12. I am praying that the last three Sundays of February will be most productive as we close out my time with you. I am searching the heart of God concerning the messages. Although I have been busy teaching the January Bible Study (this week I am at Rehobeth), I have missed being at Calvary. See you on February 12! Bro. Jerry Ministry News C.O.M.E. - Calvary On Mission Everyday I believe that our church has been blessed by bringing Paul Thompson to us as our next pastor. It was definitely clear that his heart burns for the proclamation of the gospel. We have a new challenge before us. Let’s unite and show Dothan the light that only God can give. Wouldn’t it be great if everyone reported for duty? Will you give that some thought? How can I serve our church? Ask God for His will for your life. Transition time is tough. Please pray with even more diligence for Bro. Paul and his family. Are you allowing God to transform you? Praise Report! I just want to share with you about one of our missions, Southern Community Fellowship. This mission is located right across the Florida state line between Cottondale and Campbelton. In the month of January they added 18 new members, of those are five on profession of their faith in Christ! Eighteen in one month for a mission that averages about 75 in worship is tremendous. Please continue to pray for Gary and his staff as they continue to reach out! Isn’t it wonderful to see God at work! Adults/Outreach Ministry Evangelism is Not an Option Sunday was an exciting day for all of us and a strong reminder of what must come first for us individually and as a church…EVANGELISM! I love the quote that Paul shared at the end “Let’s make Dothan a hard place for people to go to hell” and we have the framework already in place to make this happen! We cannot wait for someone else to do this. It is the “Great Commission” and it applies to all of us! Here is what we ALREADY have in place: • Every LCG has an assigned Sunday to go out and visit new people and those who have not been in a while. Make sure you are a part of it. • Taking Faith to the Home - This meets every Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. in G311. We make the in-home visits to prospects and we always need more people. Come join us! Let’s be faithful in what we ALL have been called to do! Recreation Ministry Camp ROCK Mentors Needed A mentor for one girl is needed for Tuesdays and three mentors for boys are needed on Thursdays, 3:00-5:00 p.m. If you would like to volunteer, call the ROC, 836-2949. Page 3 Music/Worship Ministry Ministry News God is at work and praise Him, we are a part of what He is doing. We do welcome our new Pastor and his family to this family of faith. Paul, Cecilia, Daniel, Alex, Mark and Sarah will be used by the Lord God to make a huge impact as we work and minister together. I am very excited to be able to work together to see a fresh vision for what our Lord wants to do in and through us. Thank you family of faith for how you have opened your hearts to the Thompsons as God is calling them here. There is no doubt that there are great days ahead and we can all rise and say… Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow! Preschool Ministry VIPs for Sunday, February 5 10:45: Rick and Rhoda Weber, Lee and Robin Braswell Thank You to Our Preschool Workers An extra special thank you to all of our preschool workers who served this past Sunday, January 29, during the 10:45 Worship Celebration: Daniela Amaya, Patsy Andrews, Becky Collins, Zabdy Jones, Megan Knight, Iris Lainez, FaBreka Morris, Brunie Petit, Matilda Salazar, and Bailyn Stewart.
