The year was 1987, and I was just beginning the 5th grade when I visited Six Flags St. Louis for the first time. It was a family trip, with my mom, dad, brother, and several aunts and cousins going along.
Prior to this day, I had been to a few carnivals and town fairs and ridden the Ferris Wheel, spinning saucers [...]
Beginning in early January, my wife and I plan to launch a new convert’s class at Calvary Tabernacle. Our church has been in desperate need of this type of ministry for some time, so I’m excited about having the opportunity to fill a hole.
We plan to schedule our class at 7 p.m. on Thursday, which [...]
Calvary Tabernacle experienced a tremendous manifestation of God’s Spirit during our Sunday morning service this past weekend. At the conclusion of the sermon, people flooded to the front for prayer, including a young Hispanic man who has not yet received the Holy Spirit.

Admittedly, it’s been a while since I have updated this blog. The problem hasn’t been a lack of source material, but rather a lack of writing time. Our family has been especially busy this month. Problem is, I’m not sure what we’ve accomplished.

As previously reported, Calvary Tabernacle has finally moved into our new location at 1125 Hampshire in Quincy. The building formerly housed a social service agency and senior center, but had sat empty for quite some time before our pastor approached the ownership about leasing it to our church.

There were several first time guests in attendance, including [...]
This summer, I signed up to be part of a Sunday School team at Calvary Tabernacle. I’ve played a variety of ministerial roles in my lifetime, even leading a Sunday School class for teens, but this has been my first experience teaching adolescents.
Each Sunday School team consists of a leader and two teaching assistants. As [...]
Calvary Tabernacle, the church Tollie and I attend, is preparing to move to a new facility. This morning we held our final Sunday morning worship service in our old building at 16th and Locust in Quincy. This afternoon, we spent several hours moving the remaining odds and ends to our new facility at the corner [...]
It’s Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer – and what a summer it promises to be for the Mohrs. After six years of ministry in Macomb, we’re moving back to Quincy to work in our home church, Calvary Tabernacle.
This has necessitated several changes, not the least of which is the impending sale of our [...]
United Pentecostal Church Evangelist T.L. Smith, of Kinder, Louisiana, preached a revival at Calvary Tabernacle in Quincy, Illinois, where he accurately prophesied the birth of Jonathan and Tollie Mohr’s baby boy.
