September Annoucements
Greetings, Church Family!
I just want to share how much of a blessing it’s been for me to step in and assist Pastor John and Maria, as well as the congregation of Calvary Chapel Pahrump Valley, our home church!
The staff and leaders have been outstanding, making my role that much easier. Lots of fine folk in this here church!
The Lord is faithfully adding to the ministry of the church, and it’s bearing much fruit. I have dubbed Christianity in Pahrump “Christianity Raw.” What I mean by that is it’s real. No one’s too big for their britches, and there’s a beautiful humility that the Lord is increasing among us.
Anyway, thanks for your gracious kindness to Sheri and me. We’re blessed.
-Bill and Sheri Holdridge
