MONTHLY NEWSLETTER OF CALVARY TEMPLE CHURCH
OCTOBER 2015
I LOVE SUNDAYS
Make Sunday the BEST day of the week!
Church Events
Sundays can surprise you.
Sundays can change your
whole week.
Sundays can change your
whole family.
Sundays can change your
eternity.
Sundays can change the world!
At the same time, more and
more people are wondering
why life isn’t working so well
for them. Just as God rested on
the seventh day after creation,
He wired us to also need rest,
relational connection and
spiritual renewal once a week.
 Oct 4th – communion
These are the topics of our 5
week series, “I Love Sundays”.
Living Sundays the way God
meant for them to be will lead
to benefits that cascade into
just about every area of your
life. Your relationships, work,
finances, and heath can all be
transformed by your decision
to let Sunday be the best day of
your week. “
 Oct 20th – Men’s Bible
It used to be that Sundays were
set aside for church, rest &
families. But, for most people
Sundays have become just
another busy day of the week
with no time left for church or
quality time with the family.
Come out on Sundays to learn
more!

The Authority of
Jesus Christ
Jesus ministry had begun. He lived a perfect
life. And because of that, He alone could offer
the redemption and forgiveness we need to be
accepted by God. Because He was without
sin, He could take the punishment for all
sinners who would turn to Him in repentance
and faith.
following Jesus. But our prayer is that you
will respond as Peter did when he said, “Lord,
to whom shall I go? You have the words of
eternal life.”
We encourage every adult who is not involved
in ministry on Wednesday nights to come and
join us for this study. Meeting time is 7 pm in
the sanctuary.
This quarter in Wednesday night Adult Bible
study, we will be looking at the life of Jesus
during the three and ½ years of his earthly
ministry. Through the next 12 weeks, we’ll
witness His amazing miracles that
demonstrated His power and deity. We’ll hear
His startling teaching that left the people in
wonder. And we’ll be faced with the high cost
of discipleship that caused many to stop

Study. Men of all ages

hay rides, a bon fire with hotdogs and
s’mores, and games for everyone.

celebrate our church family!
Pastor’s Pen
The Lord is not…wanting anyone to
perish, but everyone to come to
repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Starting October 1, we will be praying
around the world for 30 days! We are
participating in the Global Prayer Strategy
which takes us to several countries per day
in prayer.
We are asking you to join us by praying for
3 specific things for every county in the
world!
1. Pray for the Laborers. Pray for
those who are in each country
doing the work of ministry.
2. Pray for the Lost. Every country
in the world has lost
souls…some more than others.
Pray they will come to a
knowledge of Christ as Savior.
3. Pray for the Leaders. Pray that
the government/political leaders
of each country would become
men and women of God who
allow his work to move forward.
If you have not already received your World
Prayer Atlas, you can pick one up in the
church foyer. Even if you don’t get started
on Oct. 1, please join us in praying for our
world.

“These are the best ways to pray for the
whole world. God will empower you to do
this, but it will take a heart of determination
and a spirit of discipline.” (World Prayer
Atlas)
I pray you will join us in this great
endeavor. If you follow this daily plan, it
will normally take about 10 minutes of your
day, but in just 30 days, you will have
prayed for over 7 billion people! – people
Jesus died for and to whom he offers eternal
life. There can be no greater call!
James 5:16 tells us, “The earnest prayer of a
righteous person has great power and
produces wonderful results.” (NLT)
Missionary Update
Denny & Debby Seler:
Missionaries to missionaries in Costa Rica
Denny & Debby Seler are missionaries in Costa
Rica, but not in your typical understanding of
missionaries. The Selers are directors of a
school called CINCEL. The students at this
school are all missionaries who are planning to
go to the mission field in a Spanish speaking
country.
For three trimesters, missionaries go to CINCEL
to learn Spanish and cultural studies, before
they arrive in the country of their calling. So, in
a way, the Selers are missionaries to
missionaries!
They became directors in May of 2013 having
served cross-culturally in Spain and Jamaica
where they lived for extended periods as well as
working with FACULTAD, the Assemblies of God
post graduate training program for all of Latin
America. Their ministry experience as district
leaders, national leaders, educators, and senior
pastors has provided a diverse framework of
ministry experience preparing them to serve in
the role of directors.
The Selers will be with us on Wednesday,
November 11th at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. Please
mark your calendars now to be there!
