Well, I'm writing this email with excited hands. As you all know, this past spring, we launched a new church-wide program called 10,000 Ways to Bless Your Neighbor. We had business cards printed with the logo on the front and an explanation of how God blesses on the back. Over the months, hundreds of those cards were distributed by you when you blessed someone by doing something special for them.

Like I mentioned in my last email to you, we, as a congregation, have certainly been on the move and are BLESSING people, kids, families, organizations, teachers, firemen, police officers, neighbors, and most of all, strangers, the people we pass by daily, usually without any thought. We've been blessing the world where we work, eat and live at by the grace of God!

Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. The Reformed Church of America wrote an article for their quarterly magazine, RCA Today, about it. You can read the full story right here.

We've also been documenting some of the stories that we've heard from you. You can find it at our Tumblr page right here. Many more stories are being added daily.

Now, I'm thrilled to announce that now is the time to celebrate what God has been doing through Calvary for the past few months. This Sunday, October 27, we will be throwing a celebratory party and you're invited!

Here's what you can expect:
- The final tally of all the blessings that have been recorded
- A couple of videos showcasing a tiny slice of the blessings that we've received
- A few other surprises we have up our sleeve!

It also won't be a party without cake, so be sure to join us in the gym AFTER EACH SERVICE for cake, coffee and lemonade!

God is at work through YOU to touch lives. This has been an exciting program for all of us at Calvary, reminding us of the wonderful truth of God's grace. Join us for the party, won't you?
