Hello, my riend.

Why are you here? Did you come because you are looking ora church? Possibly a riend or relative invited you. Or did youhave the thought that you should stop, park, and walk in justto see what is happening inside?

Peop e come for ma y reaso s. I like to think that you arehere because something (Someone) very power ul drewyou here. Assuming that’s true, be prepared or an incrediblymomentous experience!

Those o us who requently gather here come with highanticipation. When the music begins, we li t our voices tosing because God oves us, Jesus has saved us, a d we

ive to praise Him. When we meet one another, we delightin sharing our stories o God’s help through the trying andtreacherous events o li e. When we open the Scripturestogether, we scrutinize and pore over the Word o God as i our lives depended on it.

We expect to hear rom God, and we desperately need tohear rom Him. He never disappoints us. We are people who

need God and have ound Him – or, I might better say, He hasound us!

So come o i . Joi the so g, te your story, a d iste toGod. Ask someone or help i you can’t ind a certain room inthe building or an answer to your question in the Bible. I youcome empty, I hope you leave ull. I you come alone, I hopeyou make a riend. I you come lost, I hope you leave saved.

Read these pages to help you get acquainted with what ishappening at Calvary.

E joy your visit a d p ease retur soo !
