Sunday's Feast
Dear Calvary Parishioners,
On Sunday, we'll gather outside for the Feast of Calvary Church: the Exultation of the Holy Cross. We asked all to register in advance if you want a boxed meal, and around 60 of you have signed up for the feast. We will celebrate from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the yard and parking circle behind the church building.
If you would like to come, please still plan on it! If you have not yet signed up, you’re invited to pack a picnic dinner and bring your own chair for a physically-distanced evening of fun, music, and worship. Please also pack and plan to wear a mask whenever you are standing or traveling from one place to another at the event.
Here are Sunday's Events in a nutshell:
Sunday Morning Worship ONLINE 10:30 a.m.
NO "Matinee" service
Calvary Feast Day Outdoor Event with Worship 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Faithfully,
The Reverend Allison English
Rector

Calvary's Anti-Racism Journey
Engaging our Faith in the World
Wednesday, September 23
7:00pm
As Baptized Christians, we promise that we will strive for justice and peace among all people, with God's help.
We've been taught that in a polite society, we don't talk religion and politics. Some have expressed recently, "that's all that's left to talk about... so how do I proceed?"
How do we effectively engage our faith amid the realities of racism? How do we engage in meaningful civil discourse as Christians in this 21st century, COVID reality? What happens when politics intersect with life and faith?
Join us for this important evening via Zoom.
We'll use a portion of the ChurchNext curriculum to guide our learning.
