Easter Morning at Calvary
Come celebrate the Risen Lord at Calvary on Easter Sunday. Our schedule for the day includes a Sunrise
service at 7:45, Uplift Worship at 8:30, Easter Breakfast from 9:15 to 10:00, Sunday School at 10, and Traditional Worship at 10:55.
Maundy Thursday Worship
Maundy Thursday celebrates the command that Jesus gave his disciples on the night of his death “to love
one another.” (maundatum means command in Latin). We will celebrate this command with a brief Lord’s Supper service in the Chapel at 6:30 pm on Maundy Thursday (April 6).
Church Directory Update
We’re in the process of assembling a new church directory—but with modern technology. We’re moving our directory online, where you’ll have the ability to update your information—including your photo—at any time you wish. You’ll be able to view the directory online or using an app on your phone. But if you’re not comfortable with a “high tech” approach…never fear! We’ll be updating information, taking pictures, and printing directories for those who prefer a more traditional approach. More information coming.
“One Calvary” Sunday:
Our pastor and deacons have agreed that one important goal for our church in 2023 is to foster a deeper sense of connection among our members, regardless of which worship gathering they attend. As part of this effort, we’re scheduling four “One Calvary” Sundays this year—days that we’ll eat, study, and worship together as a way of celebrating that we have “one Lord, one faith” and “one Calvary” (see Eph. 4:1-6). Our first “One Calvary” Sunday will take place on February 19. We’ll have a church family breakfast from 8:45 to 9:25, Sunday School from 9:30 to 10:25, and one shared time of worship from 10:30 to 11:30. Please plan to celebrate with us!
Help us “save soles” this winter by contributing to our January sock drive! Your donation of new socks will help us serve clients at Surry Medical Ministries, Yokefellow, and other ministry partners. Our drive ends January 29. The biggest need is for men’s and women’s socks as well as socks for older boys and girls.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18TH
Calvary’s kids will present “The Power of the King,” 6 o’clock. Please come out and support them, and plan to join us afterward for a reception sponsored by the BYW
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24TH
Join us in the sanctuary at 5 pm for scripture, carols, candlelight, and a brief message as we celebrate the birth of our Savior on Christmas Eve.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25TH
Christmas Day worship on December 25 will be at 10:00 am. No Sunday School that day.
Calvary’s Choir joins with singers from 4 other local churches to present “Come and Behold
Him,” a collection of new songs and traditional favorites that celebrate
God’s plan to draw us to Himself. The music begins at 6:30 in the
evening. Arrive early to get a good seat.
Mark your calendar so that you won’t miss any of this year’s Easter Celebration at Calvary. A Maundy Thursday service will be held on this Thursday, April 14, at 7 pm in the sanctuary. Easter Sunday will feature a Sunrise service at 7 am in the parking lot behind the church office (weather permitting), followed by Uplift at 8:30, a full Easter Breakfast at 9:15, Bible Study at 10, and the Traditional service at 10:55.
This month, Calvary will mark the 20th anniversary of our Uplift contemporary worship gathering. “The Early Service,” as it’s often known, has changed over the years. And a lot of different people have been involved. But over the course of the coming month, many of those former worship leaders will be helping us out on Sunday mornings. And at 7 PM on Saturday, September 11, there will be a special concert here at Calvary to celebrate the way that God has used this service to draw people to Himself. Even if you’re not a regular “Uplift” participant, we hope you’ll join us!
