I heard this quote recently:
The mark of a great church is not its seating capacity, but its sending capacity.
I hope we have a great sending capacity at Calvary. At least we should. Our chairs are often filled during Sunday morning worship, and that's a good thing. But Calvary's true spirit is more readily defined by what takes place Monday through Saturday. Our true capacity is measured in what is being sent out of Calvary each week--in people, in time, in energy, in mission, in effort, in talent, and in sharing the good news with others.
I hope you are a part of Calvary's sending capacity.
There are many ways to become involved, of course. There are always needs. And so there is always a need for volunteers.
Our generosity of spirit . . . of time, talent and treasure is what makes Calvary great.
But let's always be looking to increase our capacity to send . . . .
