One of the visions of Calvary Chapel Kaharlyk is to reach out to the community with social outreach. Micah Claycamp, Pastor Wayne, and Pastor Danny have been working towards putting a Coffee shop in the church in one of the old rooms. Realize that this is a 1920's sewing factory that has been slowly renovated for the church. So first off we had to clean up the old sewing room of machines, tables, etc. Then we began patching the walls from electrical and water pipe runs.

What a blessing our fellowships were to them today. They were overwhelmed by the coffee, Ikea mugs and saucers, and all the clothes we brought for the fellowship. THANK YOU to everyone who donated clothing and other gifts. Tomorrow is more work! Pray for continued health and strength for our team.
