At Mount Calvary, we preach hospitality and act upon the Gospel. We proclaim God’s generous and perpetual love for all people and call everyone to serve God and neighbor throughout the world.
2021 Backpack Give Back
Every year, Mount Calvary’s Backpack Give Back program gives local families peace of mind knowing they can provide their children with the supplies necessary to be successful in school. This year Mount Calvary is closely partnering with Resource West and WeCAN to fill gaps where they are most needed. Resource West is requesting individual supplies, and WeCAN could use our support with providing large, good quality backpacks. Find donation lists and links online at below and drop off your donations in the bins in the Atrium by August 6th.
Every child deserves to start school feeling confident with the tools they need for success. Thank you for making this possible!

Due to circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, Beacon Interfaith has been sheltering FMF participants at a local hotel. Beacon is requesting that host congregations continue to provide dinner meals for families during the week as well as breakfast & lunch groceries. We are in need of volunteers to help shop and deliver groceries as well as deliver hot evening meals Monday, Aug 23-Friday, Aug 27. Click here for more information and to sign up to help.
Playground Renovation
Gethsemane Lutheran Church’s preschool playground is in desperate need of renovation in order to pass license inspection and be a usable space for their preschool children. Phase 1 of the project included repainting their play equipment and storage shed, and in July we will be removing the old woodchips and replacing them with new mulch. This project must be completed with the next 60 days before the upcoming inspection. A few able bodied families would make short work of this project and leave a huge impact! Please contact Heidi Busch for more info.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13
