Happy Thanksgiving From All at Calvary Church!

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
~ Book of Common Prayer, Collect for Thanksgiving Day

Please note: the church offices will be closed Thursday and Friday this week, in observance of the holiday.

Angel Tree Christmas Drive
Starting Sunday, 25 November

This year, our Christmas Drive efforts go to support families that have successfully transitioned out of Family Promise over the last year and ones that are currently in the program. Please help by buying a gift for a child or adult who would not otherwise receive a Christmas present this year.

See the Angel Tree display in the back of the church. Take a card, buy gifts (suggested spending limit: $100) and return the wrapped present and the card by noon on December 23 at the latest. Thank you.

Adult Formation
Sunday, 2 December ~ Auden, the Psalms, and Me
Presenter: J. Chester Johnson

Kicking off our Advent series will be J. Chester Johnson. He, along with the eminent W. H. Auden, served as one of the two poets on the drafting committee for the re-translation of the psalms contained in the current Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Johnson’s book, Auden, the Psalms, and Me, which tells the story of this re-translation, an extensive project completed over a twelve-year period ending in 1979, was published by Church Publishing in 2017 and soon became one of its bestsellers.
