Calvary Wednesdays at the Cathedral

Holy Eucharist with Prayers for Healing

Returning Wednesday, April 10, Holy Eucharist with prayers for healing will be offered at noon in the church on Wednesdays and features a reflection by one of our priests.

Newcomer Gathering

If you are new to Calvary, generally visiting or joining within the past year or so, you are invited to attend an in-person gathering at Clay Woemmel & Brooks Terry’s home to enjoy some light snacks and a variety of beverages this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity to get to know other newcomers and meet staff and vestry members who can tell you more about worship, study, fellowship, and outreach opportunities at Calvary.

New Wednesday Evening Class

Come join the Rev. Paul McLain as he guides us in this mind-blowing exploration of the afterlife, our present life, and God’s ultimate purpose of bringing heaven to earth during the Easter season of resurrection. We will meet on Wednesday evenings, April 10-May 15, from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. in Martyrs Hall at St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, 700 Poplar. 

Copies of the book are available through Novel or other local booksellers.

This Sunday

Sundays at Calvary include Basement Church, Holy Eucharist, Formation Classes for all ages, and more. Note that due to Phase II of construction, all formation offerings take place in the Grizzlies Prep building adjacent to Calvary, and we will not offer parish breakfast.

This Sunday in the adult formation class, we welcome Dr. Emily Holmes, CBU Professor of Religion and Philosophy, who will present Cultivating Hope & Confronting Despair: A faithful response to climate change. Wildfires, atmospheric rivers, warming oceans, and melting ice caps—the climate news is grim, and many of us are grieving the woundedness of our precious world. How might we address our despair and convert it, through action, to hope? Together, we’ll learn how to understand and faithfully respond to climate change.

See the full schedule for this Sunday at the link below. 

Acolyte Training

On May 5, immediately following the 10:30 a.m. worship service, Acolyte Training will be held for the youth in grades 5–11 (those who will be in 6– 12 grade for the 2024-2025 school year) in the church.

Easter Flowers

Calvary's Easter flowers were glorious. We are grateful to Eric Milner, Flower Guild chair, and the entire Flower Guild for their talent and dedication. We also are grateful to all those who donated Easter flowers in honor or memory of loved ones. See the entire list at the link below. 

Easter Family Feast

Wednesday, April 17, at 5:45 p.m., St. Mary's Cathedral, Sisters' Chapel

Come celebrate and explore the season of Easter with a liturgy designed with little people in mind! All ages and stages are invited for a song, a story, and a simple communion service from 5:15 - 5:45 on Wednesday, April 17, in the Sisters' Chapel at St. Mary's Cathedral. Stay for dinner and more, or head home for bedtime afterward.

Children's Chapel Update

Due to Phase II of construction at Calvary, this Sunday, April 14, will be the last Children's Chapel until construction is complete. Children are warmly invited to stay in the pews with their families. Quiet activities will be available at the Praise Pack station in the back of the nave. Children are also welcome in our nursery from birth through their 6th birthday.
