Lenten Worship at Calvary

Everything In Between Faith and Works



SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 2025 AT 10AM


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.

Our next Worship Service on Sunday, March 16:
"Everything In Between Faith and Works"

Luke 10:38-42


Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’

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?

Music

Add Your Voice


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.
