Central to our life as a community is our corporate
worship—an expression of our common thanksgiving and praise
to God. Sunday services and weekday
services at Calvary combine the best of our Episcopal tradition
and joyful celebration. Worship, whether corporate or personal, ornate
or simple, reminds us that we can experience God in many different
ways.
Music plays an important role in worship. The beauty, innovation,
and tradition of Calvary's music program encourages the participation
of both children and adults, and is enriched by the magnificent Aeolian-Skinner
organ.
Sunday Mornings at Calvary
7:30 am Community Breakfast Blessing
Year-round, Calvary volunteers prepare and serve a hot breakfast to approximately 150 homeless persons in our community. A member of our Clergy team leads everyone in prayer before the breakfast.
8:00 am Traditional Eucharist
This service features more traditional "Elizabethan" language in a quiet and intimate setting. This service ends before 8:45 a.m. and many of the early morning worshipers gather for the parish breakfast which follows in the Mural Room.
10:30 am Eucharist with Children's Chapel
Using more contemporary language, this service attracts a congregation that includes many families with young children. The liturgy is an upbeat celebration of the Eucharist. During the Song of Praise, children age 3 through 1st grade are invited to follow the acolytes from the church to Room 203 for Children's Chapel, a special version of the Liturgy of the Word. Children are escorted back into church in time to join their families for the passing of the Peace and Holy Communion. The Calvary Choir leads the congregation in a mixture of traditional and contemporary music with occasional help from the Children’s Choir and the Calvary Ringers handbell choir. After the service, worshipers gather for Coffee in the Great Hall for coffee, tea, and conversation.
11:35 am Prayers for Healing
For those desiring prayer in response to their own or someone else's need for healing (physical, spiritual, or personal), the laying-on-of-hands for healing is offered at the altar rail on Sunday mornings following the 10:30 a.m. service.
Weekday Worship Schedule

Integral to Koinonia, Calvary's Wednesday evening program of fellowship and education, is the brief worship service that is held in the Mural Room following dinner.
