In getting to this point the people of Calvary Church have had but one desire: Let God get the honor and glory for accomplishing His purposes in and through His church. We never wanted to manipulate the sale of our present location nor the move to our future location. It has been our heartfelt passion that we would not be able to explain this through our own effort; we wanted people to know this is the unmistakable plan that God has for His church. I believe God has great and wonderful plans for the future of Calvary Baptist Church!

The work has just begun! From what I've been told by other pastors I should be thankful that there is not a crystal ball showing all that will need to be worked out in the next 12 months. I look back at the date when all of this got started, August 2, 2007, and my mind is blown away by how quickly the time has gone. We are now simply 12 months from moving into a new building and beginning to experience the future God has for us. I am excited and scared at the same time.

I know the time will go by so fast that we will hardly have time to breathe. I am also aware that this is a time when many decisions will need to be made and the potential landmines for strife and division are many. Each of us must decide now that we are only making decisions about brick and mortar, and that doesn't amount to much more than a hill of beans. How we treat one another in making these decisions is what is important. In the process of building a structure I believe God could use this to continue building the unique unity of Calvary.

So, let's build for the glory of God alone and serve one another through love as we do this together. God is handing us a wonderful opportunity, let's not let it slip by.

Grace & Peace,

Scott
