These classes are held at Calvary on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.
What we do and make at Calvary can help make and shape our lives in the world. Flower arranging, being a friend in a crisis, knitting, and more. Join us for some very hands-on opportunities to practice the art and arts of being church.
Well, not the wild-wild, but the wild internet. Learn about the theology and thought of former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams (with a side of Nick Cave) from recent interviews and articles. One of the wisest Christian leaders we’ve ever known gets down to earth.
Mariann Budde is the Bishop of Washington, DC, and her sermon on mercy went viral this past winter (at least by Episcopal standards). Join Wesley in reading her How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith, part memoir/part instructional manual, and glean more of her wisdom for the living of these days.
Following the wisdom of local author Allison Pace, we’ll offer a series of conversations using her text and learning about seven truths of parenting. Parents, godparents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends at every stage are invited to connect with one another about this blessed and challenging work. Allison Pace will speak on Sunday morning, October 19.
Engage in a journey alongside Calvary clergy, staff, lay leaders, and the Bishop to discover more about the way of love in the Episcopal Church and a deeper life at Calvary. This class is open to all who wonder about their own faith and is also a path toward confirmation and fuller membership in the Episcopal Church through Calvary.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be offered on Sunday, December 7, when the Bishop is our preacher and celebrant. Those interested in Confirmation should commit to the series of classes, and those who are interested in the conversations but not pursuing Confirmation at this time are welcome to attend. No class on November 26.
Come read a short story or reflection by some of the best spiritual guides of our day. These readings circle around Advent themes and honor the season as we prepare for Christmas.
