y l l u f ith Fa STEWARDING GOD’S GRACE As God has grown Calvary to more intentionally extend hospitality to our neighbors, He has given us the opportunity to welcome many non-native English speakers into our church family. Many are refugees who have resettled in West Michigan after fleeing dangerous situations in their home country. God has brought the nations to our doorstep and we have a great opportunity to share the love of Christ as we come alongside them in the process of settling in West Michigan. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10 12 The two stories to the right represent some of the many volunteers who have used their gifts and life experiences from around the world to minister to these refugees right here in Grand Rapids. May you be encouraged to see how God weaves the threads of our lives together to provide a tapestry of love and care for His people. And may you seek the ways God is desiring to use you as a faithful steward in this season.
