Dear Calvary Chapel Family,
As we move to re-open and regather this week I’m asking all to be very careful to abide in Christ... we need His leading in our lives now in this new season of ministry. I am reminded of the Apostle Paul’s admonition in Corinthians regarding love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a—Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Love. Patience. Humility. God is requiring us to walk in love and grace during these times. He will supply all we need according to His riches in Christ Jesus! We are excited to gather together with you again, please see details below.
In His Love,
Pastor James
