Worship and Harvest Strategy

Dear Church Family,

Loved by his Lord, John expressed the same kind of love to his Lord and others. His writings in the Scriptures encourage followers of Jesus in that same love. Join us this Sunday as we learn from the apostle John about what it means to be loved by Jesus.

ICYMI – Watch my sermon from last Sunday about Matthew – When Mercy Calls.

Deliberating Calls: A couple weeks agoI received two calls to consider being a pastor in other places: 1) To start a new mission church in Panama City Beach, FL. 2) To be the pastor of Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, MN. Thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers as I decide where I can best serve in God’s kingdom—whether in either of these new places or continuing right here in Doral. I will be announcing a decision soon.

Harvest Strategy Summit 2023 – Have you ever wondered “How can I connect others with our church?” or, “How do we connect families to Jesus for life?” On Sunday, August 27th after worship, we are going to gather together as a church to talk about what each one of us can do to support our ministry plan to reach others with the gospel. Click here for Pastor Caleb’s special message and find out how you can be part of it. Let’s work together to reach more of our community with the life-changing, life-saving love of Jesus and build our family in Christ!

Grand Opening Celebration Saturday, October 28 – Mark your calendars and save the date: Saturday, October 28. We want to celebrate the Grand Opening of our new Worship and Ministry Center with you! More details to come soon. If you would like to serve as a volunteer in any way, please reach out to Jorge Calil, Team Leader: 305-815-8244.
