From Pastor Steve’s Study

You have no idea how blessed I was yesterday when so many of you raised your hands when I asked, “How many of you believe you are called to preach the gospel.”  You get it!!!  You really do!!!  Few things bring greater joy to a pastor’s heart!!!

We have been given a great privilege to “gladly announce the good news.”  Here are some thoughts to ponder this week.

1. Do you have a mindset to bless others in every situation with good news?
2. Do you keep your eyes open for God-given opportunities?
3. Will you plant seeds of blessing and truth even when you don’t have time to tell the whole story?
4. Will you pray about how to be more effective in sharing your testimony and telling others how Jesus has changed your life?

Important Announcement from CCV Property Team

Gene Tonn, Glenn Berkhahn and Bill Salerno updated the congregation that there will not be an extension of our lease at the September 2020 expiration. Financially, we do not have the resources or time to acquire property and build our own facility at this time.

Please make this a matter of individual prayer. Keep your eyes and ears open for any facility that might be a good fit for our services. Let any elder or member of the property team know if you become aware of opportunities that should be checked out.

Prayer Needs

• Prayers for Jenni

• Let’s continue our encouragement of Jenni by remembering her with a card.  Jenni and her family were so impacted by receiving a package full of cards of well-wishes and prayers from their CCV family.

Mary Barber will be collecting our cards and send them off in the next week or two.  You can bring them to prayer night on Wednesday or to the worship service on Sunday.

Praise the Lord and all glory to Him for all He is doing in and through Jenni!!!  We stand in awe!!!

• If you have any praise reports or prayer requests, please let Paul know or just hit “Reply” to this email.

  • If you would like to be added to the email prayer request list, let Paul know

CARE Ministry:

• Peter Pecoraro leads the CCV CARE Ministry. As our church is experiencing growth, the physical needs within our body are the highest priority in serving one another in times of sickness, loss of loved ones, and practical needs. The following people have stepped forward and are serving over six areas as follows:
• Bereavement / Don and Carol Mordas
• Visitation / Ollie and Carol Howell
• Meals / Marjie Setser
• Prayer / Paul and Karen Caucci
• Helps / Johnny Cyr
• Benevolence / Stan Grab
• If you know of physical needs within the CCV body, let someone know:
• Contact Pastor Steve, any Elder or Peter if you know of a need within our church.
• Peter Pecoraro:  Phone: 585-305-2470 or Email PDP1020@gmail.com

Missons & Ministry Update:    Missions Resource Center

Hopefully you have had a chance to check out the Resource Center near the information desk.  Rodger Sloan did a great job constructing the cabinet.

As seen in the picture below, there are three main features.

As we become more familiar with how CCV is reaching out, we can be more specific and intentional in our prayers and giving for this important part of the ministry.

A Bit More About CCV:

• CCV Giving Is Facilitated In Two Ways:
• A Calvary Chapel distinctive is that no offering plate is passed during service.

There is a Tithe and Offering box located at the back of the sanctuary

• Giving online is convenient and can be set up at the CCV website www.ccvillages.org

• • Go to http://smile.amazon.com/about.
  • Select “Calvary Chapel Villages” from the eligible organization list.
• Facilities – We are currently leasing the community center where we worship on Sundays. There is an “Expansion Fund” for CCV folks to give toward a future permanent facility. You may give by identifying your donation for this purpose on the envelopes (Info Table) or online.
• Visit the new and updated CCV Website: www.ccvillages.org
