Set an example

Thanks to all the Calvary Christian faithful who came out after a frightening thunderstorm last night and witnessed a very solid performance by the football team who defeated visiting Southside Christian 37 - 14. But, this week's God story isn't about the football team or about the weather.  It's about the girls varsity volleyball team. 

Yes, the team is 4 - 1.  And, yes, they have many dominant players.  But, it's the outreach and ministry off the court that is starting to "set an example" for others teams to follow.  After Saturday morning's workout, the girl's visited for the second time the Grand Court Village, a local convalesent home.



Spending time with those in need is what God has called us to do.  Not only does it brighten up the day for those who rarely receive visitors, but it put's life in perspective as our girl's ponder health, wealth, and companionship.

I'm proud of our coaching staff and our girls for setting an example in conduct and in love.  Service aces, digs, blocks, and kills may receive the applause and the headlines, but sharing the love of Christ with someone in need and putting others first is discipleship and at CCA... "that's what we do!"
