A Message From Dave

This past weekend the Calvary Youth Ministry partnered with the KidsLife Ministry to put on another Family Worship Sunday. Family Worship Sundays are held four times a year and showcase our youth and children's ministries to the greater congregation. This past Sunday the youth ministry shared about our 2013 summer mission trip to Cincinnati, OH. We had four youth share their experiences from the mission trip through spoken testimonies from the main stage. Trevor and Nathan Koepke shared at the 8:00 service with Ashley Allgood and Jhoselin Delgado sharing at both the 9:30 and 11:00 services; we also showed a video slide show of our trip. If you were unable to attend this Sunday, check out the slide show here:

In addition to sharing about our summer mission trip, our youth band (led by Matt Kooi and made up of teens Ross VanKley, Ashley Allgood and Jhoselin Delgado) led the entire church in musical worship during the 9:30 and 11:00 services. The KidsLife kids sang along with the youth band to lead the congregation in worship, it was a great blessings for everyone.

Family Worship Sunday is a day to promote worshiping and honoring God together as a family unit, it's also a day to support our children and youth ministries. We hope you can join us for our next Family Worship Sunday in December. Also, be on the look out for information coming soon on next summers youth mission trip.
