How to Know a Person
Wednesday nights, 6:15 – 7:15
David Brooks asks, “How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves?” The Rev. Paul McLain will guide us in living this question as we explore Brooks’s book How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others and Being Deeply Seen. Copies of the book are available at Novel bookstore and other local booksellers. All are welcome.

Transforming Questions: Confirmation Class with the Rev. Scott Walters
2024-10-23 18:15 - 19:15
Transforming Questions: Confirmation
Wednesdays, 6:15 – 7:15
Transforming Questions offers the opportunity to engage in faithful questioning: Who is Jesus? Does God answer prayer? Why do bad things happen? By asking questions, we see our faith transform, deepen, and develop from something simple and superficial to something complicated and rich. And, by asking questions, we see ourselves transformed, as the answers that we find, or the new questions that we discover, demand that we respond, changing not only what we think but also how we live.
This class meets Wednesday evenings from Oct. 2 through Nov. 20 and provides a path for adults seeking Confirmation on Sunday, Nov. 24, when Bishop Phoebe makes her annual visitation. It’s also open to anyone who loves a good, meaningful conversation!

Sacred Ground is a soul-shaping, perspective-changing series of conversations about race and faithfulness. This carefully created, eleven-session curriculum offers readings, videos, and rich discussions to open up new ways of thinking about where we’ve been and where we are going. Calvary is offering two opportunities to participate in this vital endeavor.
