July 2006 Update

Dear Friends,

We are looking forward to another Worship at the River gathering in Troutdale at the Glenn Otto Park this Sunday evening at 6 pm. This month, we are focusing on "deliver us from evil," in our journey through the Lord's Prayer, and look forward to what the Holy Spirit will unwrap through each of the unique gifts He has placed within every one of you.

One of the aspects of Biblical "agreement" has the flavor of an ensemble; a symphony. In fact, the Greek word translation for agree is the word: sumphoneo, which means: "to sound together" or "to be in accord, primarily of musical instruments." I imagine each of us as an orchestra member....following every nuance and gesture from the Holy Spirit, as we fix our eyes on Him. He is the best worship leader! He loves to magnify the Person and Work of Jesus and the character and love of the Father. I am continually amazed at His creativity; as He is eminently qualified as the composer, arranger, and conductor for the evening.

We have concluded 3 Saturday evenings of worship at Calvary Assembly, and each gathering caught a glimpse of God's heart for this region. Last Saturday, we concluded with each worshipper positioning themselves around the room relative to where they were from; with the city of Portland at the center. From many denominations, ministries, and backgrounds but with one voice, and in all four directions, we proclaimed "Grace...Grace...Grace..." to our city.


We invite you to join the chorus this Sunday evening! (no auditions required...He LOVES how you sound....you're already qualified!)

Bless you,

Darrell and Carlene
