Calvary Chapel(s) Then and Now

Lonnie Frisbee was preaching at Calvary Chapel Riverside when I first began going there in the summer of 1971. In the days ahead, I will be blogging about my experience there in the early 70s and also about Calvary Chapel Chino in the late 70s and early 80s. I am interested in contacting a few people from those days so, if you happen to know anyone who was involved in either church back then please send them to this site or have them contact Allen "Denny" Randall at First Presbyterian Church of San Diego.

I have it all! A mere few steps from where I sit, a pair of servants patiently await my wishes. One with a bucket of clean, fresh cold water, and a companion who stands at the ready with steaming hot water for my every need. On the other side of this very wall is a room which half the world would likely walk a hundred miles to find, for it is filled with the finest food from around the world: grains of all kinds, exotic fruits, nuts and spices. Fresh crisp vegetables of all sorts, different kinds of oils, sauces and dressings, each with a different and delightful flavor. Oh my--I see the time has arrived for me to take my royal carriage to town and attend to some court affairs. This will therefore have to be continued another time, for I have but begun to innumerate the many luxuries which fill our dear castle here. Until then, adieu...
