Mt. Calvary offers a number of opportunities to gather together for worship.

Palm Sunday, April 13
“That Day, and Today” at 9 and 10:30 AM — Join us on a beautiful Palm Sunday with special music, baptism and Mt. Calvary Kids at Youth at 9 AM. Evil is often louder than good. Many days evil seems to be speaking louder and louder. On Good Friday, Jesus’ voice who rose above the rest for a dying believer. King Jesus already has a gift prepared in advance for the one who experienced evil, but God brought about a greater grace for good.

Maundy Thursday, April 17
“The Eternal Passover That Jesus Desired to Eat” at 7 PM — Join us for uplifting music, prayer, and Holy Communion. The Lord’s Supper is a foretaste of the feast that is coming. A banquet at which death will be swallowed up forever; a banquet at which Abraham, Peter and Paul are dining at a table with a believing criminal. By God’s mercy through faith in the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, you will be sitting there too.

Good Friday, April 18
“God’s Friday” for families at 10 AM – Come celebrate Good Friday as a family at Mt. Calvary! We welcome you and the children in your life to a craft morning at 10 AM. Walk at your own pace through the interactive stations and a kids' Easter message. It will be a fun morning for adults and kids to share, so bring another family and enjoy a truly good, Good Friday.
“The Day When Evil Collides with Good” at 7 PM — Our evening Tenebrae service features moments of prayer and contemplation, Scripture and special music with the Mt. Calvary choir. How can an evil Friday be called Good Friday? Because Jesus stood against the darkness for you. What a good God! What was meant for evil, God meant for good — for you and for the world.

Easter Sunday, April 20
“The Gardner of Easter” at 9 and 11 AM – The "good news" is inextricably linked to this encounter. Mary, initially consumed by grief and loss, becomes the first witness to the resurrection. Her encounter with the risen "gardener" transforms her from mourner to messenger. Jesus commissions her to "go and tell" the disciples, making her the first herald of the resurrection. This emphasizes the importance of sharing the good news of Jesus' victory over death and the hope of new life he offers. Just as a gardener spreads seeds, Mary is sent to spread the seed of the Gospel. The good news, therefore, is not just the fact of the resurrection, but the call to each of us to recognize Jesus, experience his transformative power, and share that experience with others. There will be two uplifting morning worship services with uplifting music, children’s activities and staffed nursery. A pancake breakfast will be served from 8 to 10:30 AM. Come experience the joy of Easter together!
