It is exciting to see the Reach Welcome Grow (RWG) building expansion project making progress. During the winter months, it appeared that little was happening, but the foundation work was essential! Much had to be done before we could see the new structure rising from the construction site. During the service this Sunday morning, Elder Bill Bailey, Chairman of the Building Committee, will give an update on the expansion.
Again, I thank everyone for their generous giving to the RWG Building Expansion Fund. Praise God! I also encourage you to continue praying for the safety of the workers and the soon completion of the project. It is going to make a great impact on the life and ministry of Calvary Church. But the real growth at Calvary is not a building but rather the salvation and transformation of souls as we continue to proclaim the glorious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
