From Sister Laura Castine
Dr. Frank Oberti, who attended the Resurrection Service w/me, would like to thank Sister Mary Drayton, and Calvary Baptist members for all of your prayers for his elderly father.
His father is recovering very well from his hip surgery after a bad fall. He will be in rehab for a few more weeks.
Frank is very grateful to you all, Dear Calvary Baptist Sisters and Brothers, for your caring and compassionate spirit. He experienced overflowing joy during the service, and felt very blessed and privileged to meet so many so you that morning!
May God keep you all as the Apple of His Eye.
In Faith and Sincere Gratitude.
Laura and Frank

At a time when our friends and Church Family are losing loved ones at an unbelievable pace, I want to thank and Praise the Lord for the love and fellowship that everyone has shown the bereaved. God has blessed us with the fruit of the spirit called "LOVE" and I just thank Him and thank all of those who have prayed for our friends who have to go through this facet of life. God bless Calvary for our solid foundation of Christianity.

As I go day to day confronting the challenges of everyday life dealing with the physical and mental trauma related to my diagnosed 'Progressive Multiple Sclerosis' in my effort to maintain my independence being the most difficult and yes in the beginning my doubts of His love for me, but the Lord has since once again had shown to me he has my back. I felt His mighty finger of love tap me on my shoulder saved me from a certain death or critical condition to say the least, some time last year. However I will make it plain now I will never doubt his Love for me again,it would be very foolish of me.He could have taken me then, but when he want's me He will take me , and no time before and I will take on any challenge he gives me until that day. The Lord has not failed in sending me his angels who are in the position to help me whom are often strangers, when it is needed... even holding open a door or offering to pick something up I dropped or a kind word to help me maintain my dignity and respect. The Lord has the last word. But what all I am going thru it has been very difficult to come to terms that my life has changed forever and my limits in indepence. But often people has confided in me certain thing's which made me realize at least I am not alone, and must continue to count our blessing's and move forward. For instance the desaster in Haiti, after all that happened they still recognize the awsome power of prayer.

What a beautiful website. Keep up the lovely work Calvary! Would you please email Lura Smith's email address.

On February 27th I was called into a conference room and told I was being laid off from my City job which I have held for 4 1/2 years effective April 3. I prayed on it and asked the Lord to help me either find another job or let me get enough. On March 10th I was handed a letter saying that I was being transferred to a different department still within the City. God is Good all the time. Never lose your faith in what the Lord can do, I didn't.

What 24 hours of prayer will change. Deaconess Barbara Owens is coming home from the hospital today. We thank God for His grace and mercy and we thank our Calvary family for all your prayers.

God has shown me the direction he would have me to go. Though my flesh insists I am an unlikely candidate for ministry, God has shown that the life I've lived was planned and I have been tailored to become a pastor. His call is loud and his signs are blatant. I am back in The States from Japan. I now live in California. I have a beautiful son named Jeremiah Ajani Hunn (Born Nov 1, 2007) Please pass my information to Rev. Thomas. My e-mail is THATSJAH@YAHOO.COM and my number is 916-955-0294. Since Calvary was and will ALWAYS be my church home it is neccessary that I began my journey by speaking with and seeking guidance from my original spiritual leader and mentor. Thank you! And though I've been gone for some years now, Calvary has never left my heart and prayers. God Bless.

Our prayers have been answered , our brother Fred Gates is home and feeling much better. He says thank you for all the prayers and concerns.
What a Mighty God we serve!

Blessings and congratulations to Calvary on the occasion of your 135th Anniversary. It was a bleesing to read the newsletter and to see how Calvary Baptist Church truly is "a place to grow!" I pray continued blessings on Rev. Thomas and the entire church family.

With Love and Respect, Felicia
