2020 Annual Report

Session • February 17, 2021

The Calvary 2020 Annual Report is a fascinating collection of reports for ministerial, program, financial and administrative information. Although it is available in digital pdf form on the website, we appreciate that not everyone either wishes to read a 57 page document on their digital device or has the capability to print it. However the handling and postage costs to mail this document are high and complex in these times; therefore, if you wish pick up a physical version, we will have a few copies in a box by the front door from Sunday Feb 21 through Sunday Feb 28 for you to stop by and collect one.

Sermon 03.30.2025: Lent 4: Find Your Way Home

By Rev. Victor Floyd • March 30, 2025

The Good Shepherd calls home all of the sheep, even "those" sheep. No matter how far you've wandered, no matter who has tried to separate you from God's fold, Jesus is waiting. It's time for a homecoming.

Sermon 03.23.2025: Lent 3: Fear, Faith, Figs, and Foxes

By Rev. Marci Glass • March 23, 2025

Jesus continues his journey to Jerusalem and his disciples ask him a question as they walk. They want him to answer the questions we always want God to answer for us too—why do bad things happen to good people? Join us as we consider Jesus' answer to the question.

Sermon 03.16.2025: Lent 2: "Everything In Between" Faith & Works (Deacon Sunday)

By Rev. Joann Lee • March 16, 2025

The story of Mary and Martha is often painted as a story where one does right and one does wrong. We know, however, that life is often more complicated than that. We know that faith is embodied through being present and taking action—and everything in between. Join us on this second Sunday in Lent as we consider, how can we live along the spectrum of faith and works.

Sermon 03.09.2025: Lent 1: Half Alive

By Rev. Marci Glass • March 9, 2025

In today's scripture reading, someone asks Jesus who, exactly, qualifies as a neighbor. Jesus tells the story of a person found half dead on the side of the road, but seen by at least one passerby as half alive, a neighbor worthy of care. Join us as we consider the question for today's world.

Sermon 03.02.2025: A Woke Church

By Rev. Joann Lee • March 2, 2025

Stay woke! Or we might miss the glory of God (at least according to Luke's gospel). The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record the story of Jesus's transfiguration on the mountaintop. But only Luke records that the disciples witnessed this amazing transformation because they had stayed awake. In a time when we are tired and overwhelmed with exhausting news, how can we stay awake to witness what God is doing in the world and in our lives?

Sermon 02.23.2025: The Greater Debt

By Rev. Marci Glass • February 23, 2025

In today's story, a woman washes Jesus' feet with her tears, drying them with her hair. It's an intimate scene. An emotional scene. A costly scene. And it makes the rest of the guests uncomfortable. We don't know her story, but we see her response to Jesus. How do we respond to grace, forgiveness, and second chances? Do we welcome second chances for others or just for ourselves?

Sermon 02.16.2025: Prophets Over Profits

By Rev. Victor Floyd • February 16, 2025

What makes for a trustworthy prophet? Let’s learn a spiritually sound way to vet our current-day prophets. We need clarity—and hope—for these troubled times. And, friends, there is hope!

Sermon 02.09.2025: Who is Worthy of Healing?

By Rev. Marci Glass • February 9, 2025

In today's story, Jesus interacts with people outside of his own community, and offers healing to people some would say were unworthy. How do we build community and healing across the lines that divide us?

Sermon 02.02.2025: Is it Lawful to do Good or Harm?

By Rev. Joann Lee • February 2, 2025

Rest and sabbath are necessary. As such, work was prohibited on the sabbath in observance of God's example in creation and commandment in Exodus. But when do our rules hinder rather than promote healing, wholeness, and shalom in our lives? Are Sabbath Day sins allowable in certain circumstances?
