What to expect at our worship services

Our invitation to Holy Communion:

"So come you have been here often
and you have not been here in a long time.
You who are full of faith or full of doubt.
You who have tried to follow Jesus
and you who have failed.
​Come, it is Christ who invites us to meet him here."

(Taken from Bishop Deon Johnson's consecration service)

About Worship at Calvary

At this moment, all of our worship is being offered in-person and online. This choice is our compassionate response to the most vulnerable among us and our way of working to stem the spread to the coronavirus and its variants.

Our Sunday services, special music services, and other videos can be found and viewed on our YouTube channel. The complete time schedule for our Sunday services can be found on our Welcome page.

Our RITE I service of Holy Eucharist is a said service (no music) and uses traditional language (Elizabethan English). It is quiet, and the ancient language connects us to our faith history.


Our RITE PLACE service of Holy Eucharist offers  holy conversations on the Scripture readings along with contemporary/contemplative music.

Our RITE II service of Holy Eucharist includes hymns and an anthem accompanied by organ or piano, and uses contemporary language. 


The DAILY OFFICES of Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline are offered most weekdays. The days and times for these services can be found on our Welcome page.
