Schmidgall was licensed by the Illinois District of the Assemblies of God in 1964 and ordained in 1969. During his early ministry there, he took part in Operation Saturation. Ill. He was still serving in that capacity when he passed away. Now Calvary Church, the congregation averages around 3,000 on a Sunday morning. It should be carried on throughout the week as we go to work and in whatever we do.
Worship is a two-way street.
Worship affects the way we act, but we must also remember that the way we act also affects the way we worship on Sunday morning. When each person is worshiping there is a feeling of being engaged with his fellow worshipers. And we must keep in mind that for each worshiper, the worship experience is a time of celebration, such that it creates a release for all participants. For this reason, no one in the congregation can simply be a passive observer. Each one must be involved.
