A little falling rain didn’t dampen our spirits tonight as Calvary’s youth ministry got the summer kicked off in style! Intern Jake and his trusty sidekick Collin created a 100′ slip & slide plus a couple of other messy/wet games (which may have included a dunk in the pond!) to Read more…
A few of the Calvary pastors went away for a day-long meeting Tuesday, working on some big-picture things. I love these men, and love being part of a team with them. We are a diverse bunch in terms of theological backgrounds, church experience, and even geographical homes! We’re wired differently, approach Read more…
Our eldest graduated from high school Saturday morning along with 600 or so of his closest friends. I thought the commencement speaker (James Houck) was splendid, and even jotted a few notes from his talk. Levi and a few of his buddies were featured in the senior video that showed Read more…

I had a few minutes open up in my afternoon today. They happened to correspond with the time my wife was taking Charlie and the little girl she watches to the local park. So I zipped over to the park to see if I could catch up with them. As Read more…
Oh my goodness, what a night! We spent most of this past semester working through a fabulous study about the story of the Bible, starting with Creation, wrapping up with the beginning of the church. It’s been about 16 weeks (counting breaks and some city-wide worship nights) of goodness. I Read more…
Simply put, we’re hurtin’ for female leaders for our student ministry. We’ve had a handful at the start of each semester, but they’ve all headed for other parts at the end of the term. That’s a problem, because we put all of our proverbial eggs in the relational basket. A Read more…
