Preaching Team Plan

     As of this month I have instituted a preaching team concept for our Sunday morning worship services.  The primary preaching team consists of 7 people (others outside the team will preach on occasion).

     Chad Mason, Paulo Gatan, Marcus Rodriguez and I (Julio Guarneri) will be the primary preaching team in English.  Julio Varela, Eder Ibarra, Daniel de León and I (Julio Guarneri) will be the primary preaching team in Spanish.  We will share more about the preaching team later.

     I will continue to preach most Sundays while the English language preaching team will have a greater opportunity than previous years to share the pulpit.  I will also significantly increase my preaching in the Spanish service while alternating with the Spanish language preaching team.  This plan allows me as a Lead Pastor to care for all of our three services while also providing Calvary with the benefit of hearing other gifted preachers.  (It also helps me share the privilege and the work load).

     I pray it will help us to affirm our oneness as a church and to affirm our commitment to a shared leadership model for all we do at Calvary.  We do not want to depend on only one person or personality for anything.  We are a body and we will lead as a team, while the Lead Pastor continues to have the responsibility of being the team leader.

    Please pray for this team.  Pray that God will continue to speak powerfully to his church.  Encourage those who preach.
