Worship at Calvary

Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 2026 AT 10AM PST


The hymns we sing in church have a theological and often biblical basis. “Holy, Holy, Holy,” one of the most familiar hymns to Presbyterians, takes language from Revelation. Revelation can be a confusing, difficult book, but the writer was responding to the crisis faced by first century Christians: Do we worship God, or the emperor? In 2026, we still have to choose.

Our next Worship Service on Sunday, August 9:
"Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty"

Sermon 07.26.2026: Sabbath Means We Are Enough

By Guest Preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt • July 26, 2026
Why do so many of us feel so much pressure to compete, judge, produce, win? The Parable of the Prodigal Son is about two sons. One son learns the hard way that he doesn’t have to earn his father’s love. The other son doesn’t get it. With which son do you identify?

Sermon 07.19.2026: Sabbath Means Abiding in Love

By Rev. Joann Lee • July 19, 2026
God does not create for the sake of creating. Rather, God creates in order to enjoy, relate, connect, and abide in love with all that is created. Sabbath allows us to enjoy and rest in that love.

Sermon 07.12.2026: Sabbath Means Freedom

By Guest Preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt • July 12, 2026
“Observe the Sabbath day, and keep it holy,” says Deuteronomy's version of the Ten Commandments. Does that sound like one more religious rule that’s too hard, or at least, too inconvenient, to take seriously? Or might an intentional break from our hectic lives be a path to freedom?

Calvary enjoys a long and treasured legacy as a center for great music in San Francisco. Through weekly liturgies, regular concerts featuring our choir and orchestra and guest musicians, and as an essential venue for the many arts organizations who perform in our historic sanctuary, that rich tradition is vibrantly alive today. Our weekly worship services feature our 40-voice Chancel Choir, our 6,155 pipe organ and Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, professional soloists and other fine guest musicians, children and youth, handbells, and a range of exceptional music you likely won’t encounter in many other places of worship.
