Discontinuing Saturday Services at Calvary

Hell my church family,

In an update to the church's financial situation, the leadership has decided to stop doing Saturday evening services after this month.  It's sad yet at the same time we know God is at work.  Before I discuss other serving opportunities if you were serving on Saturday (and there are other opportunities), Please read Allen's post on his blog here:

 

http://heroesthemessageseries.blogspot.com/2009/08/update-to-urgent-letter.html

 

If this kind of stuff shakes you at all about the church, please feel free to contact me directly on the phone.  I've been at the church for over 10 years now (serving most of that time) and I have seen the ups and the downs. 

 

Allen put it great in his letter but another way to encourage you is to realize: 1) At Calvary Austin God is worshipped, and 2) At Calvary Austin God's Word is preached.  Amen!

 

In Christ,

Randall
