A Holy Hike outing is scheduled for April 13th, the Saturday of Palm Sunday weekend. We will once again be venturing to the Patuxent Research Refuge to enjoy the roughly 2 mile hike around Cash Lake. Meet at the National Wildlife Visitors Center, 10901 Scarlet Tanager Loop, Laurel, MD 20708, at 9:45am to join us for this hike. We will start the hike at 10am sharp! A Holy Hike involves a liturgical service broken up into several stations which will occur over the course of an easy 1-2 mile hike. All ages and skill levels, including young children, are welcome to attend.

The Women of Calvary will also be invited to meet this morning – watch for info from Kate Tomes to learn details.
Lent Midweek Services continue today. Join others this evening, and every Wednesday evening of lent for a worship service in the Calvary chapel at 7:30pm. Our theme for the midweek services this year is “Through the Eyes of Christ” as we reflect on those who were present at the cross and the ways in which Jesus looked on them with mercy.
