SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE August 9, 7:00—8:30p.m.
Super Sunday August 23rd 3:00-5:00pm Definitely the grossest and yuckiest day of the year at Mt. Calvary! All of our middle school and high school youth and their friends are invited to wear some clothes that can get messy, bring a towel to clean off with (to the best of their ability), and a friend who is similarly prepared to this fun back-to-school tradition. You will get messy, you will get wet, you will have fun, and you will remember that God loves us despite our messiness and calls us to be his own children.
Catechism instruction will also begin in August.
