****** HOT OFF THE PRESS! ******

1.)  GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE:

We are going to have a GOOD FRIDAY service on Friday night, April 2 at 6:30 pm. It will be a time to have your children with you in the sanctuary and remember what Christ Jesus has done for us on the cross. The service will last an hour and we will have nursery care up to 3 years old. If any of you would be willing to help in the nursery that evening we could use your one-time help. We will also need ushers and greeters for that night.

2.)  We are going to have a SUNRISE SERVICE EASTER MORNING!

This special Resurrection Day service will be held outside in front of the sanctuary at 6:30 AM. We will have coffee and water available (maybe some snacks as well). The service will last an hour. We WILL NOT be having any childcare for the sunrise service. If you would like to be on the set up team to put out the chairs and the portable sound system, please contact PASTOR JESSE at the church office. We will still have both of our regular services at 9:00 AM and 10:45 AM.

3.)  WEDNESDAY NIGHT BBQ’S STARTING AGAIN MARCH 24TH!

We are starting up our weekly spring BBQ’s before the Wednesday night service. The time will be 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm. Sign up in the foyer to let us know how many hamburgers and/or hot dogs you will be wanting for dinner. There will be other food items as well. Remember it is offered on a donation basis per person. If you would like to be on the serving team, the clean up team or the cooking team, put that down on the sign up sheet and/or contact PASTOR JESSE at the church office.

***** AND NOW BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM *****

There are several new families that have begun to make our church their home church. It is important for all of us to remember what it was like for us when we first came here. Don’t be shy about asking if someone unfamiliar to you is new to Calvary. That is the only way to know how to best minister to one another. Just go for it!

With these two new services around Resurrection Day celebration, it opens up a great opportunity to invite coworkers, neighbors and friends to attend. Offer to pick them up and bring them to church if you can. This might be the open door God uses to begin new life in Christ to them!

I want to personally thank all of you who have been praying for God’s grace in my going out more often to minister to different congregations around Arizona. It seems from the feedback of those pastors that God is really using it. This is part of your fruit. Pastor Jesse has been doing a great job feeding you from the Word on Wednesday nights and on the occasional Sunday mornings. Please continue to keep this new venture of outreach in your prayers.

The Wednesday night series I did last fall entitled WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? has finally been put into manuscript form. We are going through some editing of the book and giving it the title of TRUE LOVE BEGINS WITH GOD. This is an in-depth look at 1 Cor. 13. Lord willing, it will be done and published by the end of summer.

Thanks for your prayers concerning the paving of our parking lot. We received a special bid (below $3000) that blew away the previous bids ($7000). We had the money in savings and went for it. They did a great job!

Remember that April 3rd, Saturday morning, is our next church work day to clean up the campus. This will be especially important since the next day is Resurrection Sunday and there will be many more visitors on the campus. The sign up sheet will be available on the counter in the foyer.

Let’s keep the main thing the main thing! The main thing is JESUS!

Pastor Bob Claycamp

The person doing the formation into a book will have the manuscript done by the end of March.

Once the manuscript has gone through final editing, and I get the cover design from Micah Claycamp, it’s off to the printers.

There is another series being transcribed as well. It is the study I did many years ago on the first six chapters of Nehemiah. It is entitled HOW TO BE USED BY GOD. The transcription should be done March 21. This will be a good manual on how the Lord takes an ordinary person and leads them to do extraordinary things for God.

This Sunday I will be teaching at Calvary North. We will be considering the faith of Jacob and Joseph. There’s so much to glean from the lives of these men and women of faith.

On Sunday March 14 I will be teaching at Calvary Chapel of Coolidge, AZ. Pastor Jesse will be teaching at Calvary North.

Thanks to all you who have been praying over the new directions Jeanne and I are considering. The Lord is the One who really knows what’s ahead in the future.
