We’ve been running multiple sites/venues at Calvary for some time now, but last weekend was my first chance to preach at all 6 locations live. It was a blast! Along the way, I learned a couple of things that I thought I’d share with you…
- My wife Kim is a good public speaker. She told our adoption story (at least up to this point) in each gathering, and did a fabulous job. She got applause every place we spoke. I’m not jealous–I’m just sayin…
- Each gathering is unique in terms of worship style and feel. The hearts of those leading worship shines through, and the leadership of each gathering blesses me. The tech teams at each place made it so easy to jump in and roll.
- There’s not much time to get from the 9:15 (on University Dr) to Gray’s Woods, and from Gray’s Woods to Midtown. We had a GPS feeding us the quickest route, but I wonder if we might be better off to map it out for the folks who travel that circuit to preach each week. We were late to GW and MT, and the folks there had to stall for a couple of minutes in each place.
- It was our first time to visit Gray’s Woods, and the place looked great. Good job of turning a school gym into a place of worship.
- Penn State students are back in town, so midtown was pretty full. I wonder how quickly we’re going to have to address a shortage of seats!
I am so blessed and thankful to be part of what God is doing in Calvary, and in the Centre Region. We’ve seen so many people step into leadership/serving roles as a result of going to multiple sites. Each week we hear stories of people who are coming to Christ, finding their way back to the church, or growing in the faith. As part of the Church of the City, I know that the best is yet to come!
