Forward in Faith > Project Updates & Ways to Pray

8/28/25 | The Weekly | by Eric Wakeling

    Dear Calvary Family,

    I wanted to give you all a little update on how the work is progressing on the projects that so many of you have generously donated to in our Forward in Faith initiative. Thank you so much for your sacrificial giving towards our church’s needs and your commitment to lift up Calvary Church to the Lord in prayer.

    The biggest phase of the project is the Worship Center Air Conditioning. This has had several delays beyond our control that included additional approvals by the city. We understand that it’s been warm recently and the timing of this maintenance is not ideal or what we planned when the work began in the fall of 2024. Crews are doing all they can to keep making progress, with the goal to have it finished by the end of September.

    It was very warm in the Lobby last week and I want to encourage you that it was much cooler in the Auditorium. There are also cooler parts of the room towards the front and especially to the right. So, come sit with me up front!

    We have also submitted plans to the city months ago for the Fireside Patio portion of these projects, which will also include moving the dumpster enclosure and improving the walkway entry area from the Wellington Parking Lot to be both more secure and more welcoming to guests. Please join us in praying for those plans to be approved soon. We have the funds needed and are ready to go to the next steps upon approval. Finally, we are finishing design plans to renovate the Central Courtyard patio area and refresh the Worship Center interior with elements like new seats and an updated stage. Please be praying for wisdom and creativity as we seek to be good stewards of these spaces for God’s glory as resources for ministry that will impact generations to come.

    Thank you again for your prayers and generous giving towards the needs and dreams we believe God has called us to pursue as we care for our church campus and our community. You can see more details and always join in this journey at CalvaryLife.org/Forward.

    Here are a few other quick things for this Sunday.

    • For those that like to read ahead, we will be getting back into our series in Luke on "The Week that Changed the World" with a look at Luke 20:1-8.
    • Did you know our Worship Pastors are now putting together a weekly playlist of each Sunday's songs? You can listen on Spotify and come ready to sing together! Find out more at CalvaryLife.org/Worship.
    • Right after the 9:00am service, we will have our Connect Fair in the Lobby, where you can browse LifeGroups to grow with and Teams to serve with. Find out more at CalvaryLife.org/Connect.
    • We will also have a Baptism Class at 11:00am in the Lobby. If you want to learn more about Jesus' command to be baptized and how you can take this next step in your faith at the Beach Baptisms on September 7, I would love to see you there this Sunday! RSVP at CalvaryLife.org/Baptism.

    May the Lord bless you and keep you,
