“20/20/20″

by • on 6:05 PM • in Announcements

Good morning dear Calvary family!

We’re back and I’m in the office today if anyone needs anything. We are looking forward to seeing you all this coming Sunday. God has great things in store for CCB in the coming year and I am so excited to see all that God has planned for our little ministry.

Just reminder that we will be corporately partaking of the Lord’s Table together, and as always, Celeste will be leading us in a wonderful time of “LIVE” praise and worship!!!!

Also, I will be teaching on the subject of the importance of God’s Word. The title of our study will be “20/20/20” and we will be briefly looking at Exodus 16 for our text. What I will be sharing this coming Sunday will radically change everyone’s life, I guarantee it! It has radically changed everyone who has ever participated, and it is sweeping the church globally – in a getting back  to the power of God’s precious Word!

Sunday’s message is for everyone who is hurting, lonely, desperate, discouraged, depressed, having marriage problems, having parenting problems, relationship problems, wanting a closer walk with Christ, and for all who simply want to directly hear the voice of God speak to your heart.

Are you thinking about divorce? You need to be here. Are you thinking about running? You need to be here. Are you thinking about not coming? You need to be here, God will change your life!

Has your Christian walk become boring, dull, legalistic, ritualistic, mundane, a drag, empty-desert? Have you lost the joy of serving Jesus? Has your church attendance become a drudgery? Are you missing God’s peace, contentment and direction for your life? Do you have any major decisions that you need to make, presently or upcoming? Do you have anything at all that you are struggling with, or need God’s wisdom, or understanding, or insight??? Then join us and bring everyone you know who is struggling or simply wanting a closer walk with Christ, because you will be radically changed after our time together this coming Sunday. See you Sunday!

For His great glory,

Pastor Pete

Sunday 1/2/11

by • on 2:21 PM • in Announcements, Exhortation, Sunday Teaser

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Just a reminder that we will be celebrating the Lord’s table tomorrow during our regular worship service. All believers are welcome and invited to participate. Also just a reminder that there will be no children’s worship tomorrow, as we will all be worshipping together in our sanctuary.

As you probably know, tomorrow will be our (Friese family) last Sunday before we take our 30 day Sabbatical rest. Come out and worship the Lord with us, who knows…it may be our last time before our precious Lord returns!

As we begin our new year, the Lord has truly impressed upon my heart today this scripture:

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

2010, in many ways was a hard year for many of us – but it’s done now…old things have passed away, and behold our Lord has made all things new. A new year, new blessings, new Hopes, a new future.

As we begin the new year of 2011, I pray this prayer of the Apostle Paul upon our lives –

Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

May the grace of God abound upon your life in the year of 2011. Trust Him, call upon Him, and expect great and mighty things.

Pressing on,

Pastor Pete

Pastor Pete’ Sabbatical 1.3.11-2.1.11

by • on 7:33 PM • in Announcements

To: Members of Calvary Chapel Buffalo

From: Pastor Wayne Hathaway, Pastor CC Billings

Dear Church,

Greetings to you in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I trust you all have had a wonderful celebration of the coming of our Savior to this earth this Christmas season.

I am writing to you on behalf of Pastor Pete and Celeste. 

As a pastor I am well aware of the pressures of ministry and more than that, I know the Lord is well aware of those pressures.  That is obvious from His interaction with the disciples in Mark 6:31 where He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.”

Pastor Pete and Celeste have given themselves whole-heartedly to this ministry for many years now.  I have been in contact with Pete most every week since we started this church and am well acquainted with his passion and desire to see this fellowship grow both spiritually and numerically.  We have spent many hours together praying, talking, dreaming and planning.

And, because I am aware of his labor and know his heart for ministry, I am recommending that Pastor Pete and Celeste take a minimum one month sabbatical from ministry.  I believe they need a time for rest and refreshing in order to recharge their spiritual batteries.  I am personally contributing financially to this effort for them and want to encourage each of you, as the Lord enables and supplies, to contribute to their sabbatical fund so they may have this time.  God recognized that even the great prophet Elijah needed a time of rest and refreshing when He sent him to the brook Cherith to rest and recuperate from his time of ministry and to prepare him for that which was to come.

Would you please join me in assisting your pastors so they may have a time of rest and refreshing?  I believe the Lord will bless this endeavor so that they may return refreshed and ready for the next decade of ministry, should the Lord tarry, and that having had this time their effectiveness will only be enhanced.

May the Lord richly bless you as you labor together with them to build the kingdom of God in Buffalo.

In Christ’s love,

Pastor Wayne Hathaway

PS. Our sabbatical will begin Jan 3, 2011. I will be available all this week on my regular work schedule, so if you need me or have any questions, please call, email, or drop by. I love you, Pastor Pete
