December 5th Mark Schultz Concert - We are blessed!

One week ago we were in the midst of final preparations for the Mark Schultz Concert that was to begin at 7 pm.  Anticipation and expectations were running high.  And when the hour arrived, Mark Schultz did not disappoint! You could probably ask anyone in attendance and they would say that the concert went above and beyond their expectations!

The concert was a near sell-out crowd and the pews (and extra chairs) were essentially full. Yet,
the smaller venue made for an intimate setting and the feeling that Mark was singing "just for me". At one point Mark even made the comment that it felt like being in a big living room surrounded by friends!

For more than an hour and a half the crowd listened to and sang along with some of Mark Schultz's biggest hits - "I Am", "Letters from War", "Walking Her Home", to name just a few.  The Mark Schultz favorites were interspersed with a multitude of treasured Christmas carols such as "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World".  All in all, the entire evening was truly a blessing and those who attended indeed felt blessed to be there.  Check out the pictures from the concert here:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151865893414385.1073741831.248295764384&type=1&l=fb68237816


The only downside of the night was that we were not able to have video with the music, as the set-up was not compatible with the way our system is currently configured.  So, for those who have not seen a Mark Schultz concert before and would like to see the video that goes with the song "Letters from War", here you go: (Enjoy! And, Merry Christmas!)

Vacation Bible School...Where Jesus Chooses Us!

It's Day 2 of Calvary's Vacation Bible School Daycamp 2011 and the kids are having a ball!  Today is "water day" and I've posted a few pictures from this morning as well as from yesterday.  God has given us another beautiful day for VBS (and yes, hot is good for water day).  Praise God!

I will try to post pictures and a little information about what the kids are learning each day.  Please pray for our VBS families, volunteers and the Lutherdale staff.  The Holy Spirit is doing great things at VBS!!

Monday Review
Theme:  Jesus Calls Us!
Verses: Matthew 4:18-22

Today we learned the story of Jesus calling his disciples to, "Drop your net and follow me!"
Great questions to ask your camper (VBS student):

1. Who did Jesus call?
2. Where were the men, when Jesus called them?
3. How does Jesus call us?
4. What does Jesus call us to do?
