This weekend promises to be a significant one in the life of Calvary. Not only is is the last Sunday before finals–which means a bag filled with goodies for every student to help them through the week–it’s also a weekend that we’re combining all of the Calvary worship gatherings. Instead of us meeting in 4 locations for 8 different worship gatherings, all of us will be meeting together at Eisenhower Auditorium on Penn State’s campus for one mack-daddy of a worship time.
I’m part of the worship team, and we met tonight to rehearse the songs and spend some time in prayer. I am excited about the songs we’re singing, and even more so by the thought that so many of us will be worshiping the Lord together. Don’t get me wrong–I love the fact that we’re a multi-site church. But there’s something special about getting all the Calvary family together once in a while.
And I LOVE the emphasis that we’ve been placing on our OneByOne Initiative, especially when we talk about doing a better job of reaching the next generation. My heart has always been for the middle school and high school students in our town. That’s a big part of why I asked to be Calvary’s youth pastor again. I believe that we could see a tremendous move of God in our town among the teenagers. That’s what I’m praying for, what I’m working toward, and what I am expecting. God wants to do something new here.
And the seeds of that are being sown right now. I can’t wait for Sunday.
