AMAZING TALENT

Our church is celebrating its 70th anniversary this month.

This in itself is quite amazing, in light of so many churches that are closing their doors for lack of attendance.

That does not mean our church is basking in the sunshine of masses of attendees.

It is a small church, but it loves the Lord and preaches the Gospel, untainted.

All month we are having special events.

Last evening's service kicked off the events.

We were privileged to witness 20 teens put forth their talents for the glory of the Lord.

What talent indeed. When there are so many stories of teens in trouble, one has to wonder if they were exposed to the environment these teens are they would be less likely to head the news stories.

These 20 teens showed their God-given talent in singing, playing instruments and drama. All of it was memorized.

I don't know about you, but I have trouble memorizing phone numbers, let alone reams of lyrics, notes and words.

This amazing group is known as the SOUTH NEW MILFORD BAPTIST CHURCH TEEN MINISTRY TEAM, from South New Milford, PA.

They are supported by a team of dedicated adults who are just as talented. Kudos to them for their hard work and love for young people.

The teens played piano, flutes, trombone, trumpet, and accompanied by an adult playing the cello.

One young girl played a piano solo, "How Great Thou Art". She showed talent far beyond her years.

Another young girl portrayed a woman, who as a follower of Jesus, wondered how His Crucifixion could have happened. Then related how Jesus had appeared to them after His Resurrection. Again her lines were memorized and her acting abilities were terrific.

If you are looking for a small, Bible believing, Gospel preaching, warm, friendly church, visit our website http://calvarybiblewb.org/ and listen to Pastor Sam Garnett's welcome message.

Join us for the rest of May's events. There will be special speakers and on May 22, it will be "HOMECOMING SUNDAY". Everyone who in the past has attended Calvary Church has been invited to come back for "HOMECOMING SUNDAY".
A great effort was made to research address's and contact as many as possible. If you have ever attended and didn't receive an invitation, please forgive the oversight or inability to find you and consider yourself invited, you are most welcomed.

Pastor Bob Matthews was founder of Calvary Bible Church. His talented children and grandchildren will be sharing their ministry in music on Sunday, May 29.

I'm sure Pastor Bob and his wife Esther will be told by the Lord, "Well done good and faithful servants."
