Worship at Calderwood

We had an amazing worship experience at Calderwood. We were blessed by the three baptisms and were honored as the church made special effort to introduce us and pray over us and ask God to bless our time and efforts here. They also prayed for Living Hope.

John kicked off a new sermon series entitled “Love Defined in Love Excelling.” He presented a very wonderful and practical sermon about the patience aspect of love.

On Sunday evening, we heard from a team of teens and their leaders, who are heading to Croatia in six weeks for a mission trip to continue a partnership with a Baptist church in Croatia. It was wonderful hearing stories and seeing pictures of last year’s trip and hearing plans for this year’s trip.

It was so exciting to see the recurring theme of world church partnerships between Living Hope and Calderwood and Calderwood and churches in Croatia. The two were linked together as were able to pray and give to this mission effort! Isn’t God’s church a wonderful thing?!

After church, Jeff participated in a men's discussion group. It is a mixture of believer's and nonbelievers. This week they discussed Phillip Yancey's book about prayer. He really enjoyed it.
