Most parishioners connect to Calvary through liturgy and worship. Sunday and Holy Day liturgies at Calvary are joyful celebrations of our Episcopal tradition, enriched by notable musical offerings featuring our magnificent Aeolian-Skinner organ.
SUNDAYS AT CALVARY
Neighborhood Breakfast
Year-round, Calvary volunteers prepare and serve a hot breakfast to approximately 200 neighbors experiencing homelessness in our community. A member of our clergy team leads everyone in prayer before breakfast. Volunteers are always welcome.
8:00 a.m.Holy Eucharist, Rite I
Holy Eucharist, Rite I, is offered at Calvary each Sunday at 8. Many in the congregation enjoy food and fellowship at the Parish Breakfast that follows in the Mural Room at 8:45 a.m. The breakfast includes eggs, grits, bacon, sausage, biscuits, coffee, and orange juice for $5. All are welcome.
9:15 a.m. Formation for all ages
Faith formation classes are offered for adults, children, and youth on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m.
Calvary seeks to nurture the faith and spiritual growth of our community through inspirational and challenging formation offerings for adults. Classes are offered on Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings, and throughout the week. Classes and small groups are led by clergy, lay volunteers, and guest speakers from local colleges, seminaries, churches, synagogues, and non-profit organizations.
Sunday morning classes for children use Godly Play as its foundation, while youth focus on learning to interact as a community of faith and learning how faith shapes their daily lives.
10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite II with Children’s Chapel
We also live-stream Holy Eucharist at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday. Watch the live stream on Calvary’s Facebook page or on our website.
5:00 p.m. Evensong
Every first Sunday of the month, Sept.-May
Join us for a traditional Anglican choral liturgy in Calvary’s beautiful nave at twilight. Following the Book of Common Prayer service outline, Evensong gives weekend travelers an opportunity to worship or having been to a morning service, it offers a time of prayer and quiet reflection as evening falls. “Choral Evensong is a 45-min long peace-inducing church service in which the ‘song’ of voices sounding together in harmony is heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners time for restful contemplation–church members, agnostics and atheists alike.” (from choralevensong.org). This service also is live-streamed on Calvary’s FaceBook and YouTube pages.
WEDNESDAYS AT CALVARY
12:00 p.m. Noonday Prayers
Holy Eucharist with prayers for healing is offered at noon on Wednesdays and features a reflection by one of our priests.
