I got an email from someone who was at the first service of Calvary Church in Naperville, Illinois back in 1967. That is the church my father-in-law, Bob Schmidgall, pastored for 30+ years. He said my father-in-law said something at he first service that he still remembers more than 40 years later!

“God has not brought us here to build a steeple, but rather to plant a cross.”

I absolutely love that.
