Dear Caldwell, I pray this finds you in the sure knowledge of God’s love and care. In addition to loving us, God blesses us with much to do at Caldwell – and I would like to ask a favor on behalf of the session. As you know, our “4H Dreams” are coming true, as scripture says, “more …
Dear Caldwell, It’s Gail here at the keyboard this week. I send you Eastertide greetings from Caldwell. Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with that term – Eastertide. What it means is that Easter is more than a day. Yes, we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord this past Sunday – and it was a time …
Dear Caldwell, We wrapped up the Elizabeth Communities of Faith Lenten Wednesday worship series today and, as with Jesus, turned our face toward Jerusalem. Our time of reflection, of self-emptying, is drawing to a close and Holy Week is right around the corner. I’ve deeply appreciated your willingness to explore what it means to, first, examine ourselves and, then, …
Dear Caldwell family, Gail here at the keyboard this week. I pray that this email finds you at peace and rejoicing in the Lord. It’s hard to believe, but Lent is almost over. After next week, we will enter Holy Week, which ends with three days of silence and sorrow, when we, along with Christ …
Dear Caldwell, Today’s Business Page reports that there is a new direct flight from Charlotte to Las Vegas. If the Prodigal Son lived here, he’d be on the first flight out.

Dear Caldwell, I pray this finds you well today as spring continues to poke out its head. I’d love to hear from you as we travel from Sunday to Sunday this week, specifically as we pause between the first half (2:6-8) of the “Christ Hymn” in Philippians and the second (2:8-11). You may recall from …
Dear Caldwell, Gail here. We are in the second week of Lent, the 40 days of preparation that lead us to cross, to the crucifixion of our Lord, and to the empty tomb of our Risen Lord. This year, we have chosen the word “Empty” as our theme. For some, that word brings up negative images …
Dear Caldwell, There is a country song in which a guy with the blues asks a bartender to give him the “good stuff.” The bartender pours a glass of milk, not whiskey, and the two end up talking about what really matters in life, the “good stuff.” As we travel from Sunday to Sunday, we are reminded …
Dear Caldwell, I wanted you to know that Cathy McHale, our Business and Operations Manager, has told us that fighting the traffic in her daily commute from Rock Hill is just too life-draining. So, with our blessings on her and her abiding affection for Caldwell, she has taken a position closer to her home. Cathy …
Dear Caldwell, Are you having pancakes for supper? Many are, on this day often referred to as Shrove Tuesday. Down in New Orleans, they are wrapping up the party. All of this means that tomorrow we begin the season of Lent. For the next 40 days (not counting Sundays), we will remember how Jesus spent time in …
