This weekend all of the Calvary worship gatherings will be meeting together at the Eisenhower Auditorium for one great big worship gathering! We’ll start with a prayerwalk at 9:45, coffee will be served on the patio at 10, and the singing begins at 10:30. We’ve got a great mix of worshipers from some of the gatherings lined up to lead us in worship, Pastor Dan is ready to bring a message about the awe-inspiring move of God in the Centre Region. And there’s a little something special planned that I’m keeping under wraps!

But you know what’s got me more excited than a super-duper worship gathering? It’s the 21 days of prayer that have gone before Calvary on Campus. There’s a group from Calvary walking the campus every day, asking the Lord to bless and move and make himself known to the students, faculty, and staff of Penn State. Our group prayed on Wednesday nights, and there was a great sense of anticipation each night.
I believe that God is going to do something unusual, something significant in our town this year. I don’t know the specifics, but I believe that it’s going to be remarkable. There are more than 40,000 students on campus (not to mention the faculty and staff) who are not connected to a local body of believers. Tonight as we began our prayerwalk, I read Jesus’ words from Luke 4:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
that the blind will see,
that the oppressed will be set free,
and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.
That’s what I’m praying about, asking God for, and believing that He wants to do–a total transformation of our town because of the Good News.
So I’m hoping to see you Sunday at Eisenhower, but–even bigger than that–I’m hoping that this is a year like we haven’t seen in a long time at Penn State!
