Gettin Started!

Well, as most of you know by now, 'the pulse' has finally become a weekly event! Beginning Tuesday, June 10th @6:00 PM we will still be meeting at the Calvary Fellowship offices on 15 Loop Rd.

I can honestly say that this is an exciting new direction for us and I hope that each one of you takes advantage of what's taking place this summer. We have events for every single month such as Night Vision, Water Bash, and Rescue Bowlin! We are going to have a good time no doubt but let me take a minute to make a grand suggestion...

For most of you, this time of year can't come fast enough; it's exciting, easy-going, and hey let's face it, there's no school (for some)! Anyways, I just wanted to remind you guys that if there was ever a time in your young lives for you to be actively pursuing our Savior... summer break would be the perfect opportunity. Most of you get a little extra time to snooze, others, spend the rest of the day playing video games and eatin' Doritos but if you are of Christ, and believe that He is worthy of your energy, efforts, and love, then I believe that with prayer and investigation you will and must find ways to reach out and love God and His people (remember the 'Greatest Commandment' Matthew 22:37). There are many things you and I can do to make a difference for the kingdom, and now is the time. Let's begin with discipleship; come out every Tuesday to receive some truth, be challenged, grow, and of course to have a little fun, then make an effort to serve or give yourself away by doing what God has called us to do. We are to love one another as Christ loved us, and this means that in every relationship, Mom, Dad, sister, brother, friend, neighbor, even strangers, everyone that you come in contact with deserves your loving kindness. So... share the gospel truth with someone you know or don't know, offer your services to your parents for a little while, take initiative and help with something you know needs to be done, go out of your way to be generous and courteous to strangers, this means getting out of the house and getting near other folks. Today is the day for us to make much of our King, and it starts right there in your own life, you must make that decision to love Him and others today... unconditionally, sacrificially, generously, this is a great calling and Jesus calls us all to commit to it! Let's make an effort together to reach out this summer to others and make a difference for Christ.

YYL,
