You are warmly invited to an online publication “release party” of a new book of music by Howard Helvey:
TRANSFORMATIONS
Ten Piano Solos Based on Timeless Hymn Tunes
Howard will perform the ten piano solos from this new book, and offer brief commentary, in a special 45-minute online event on Sunday, November 15, at 7:30 PM. It can be viewed on Calvary’s Facebook page or the church website.
These piano solos gradually came to life from June through September, and were heard initially—sometimes in early form—during Calvary’s weekly online services of Morning Prayer.
Howard’s book was born directly out of the COVID-19 pandemic this year when choral and congregational singing all but disappeared. Circumstances opened up the necessary time for him to formulate and craft the collection. Transformations was recently released in publication by Beckenhorst Press, one of Howard’s main publishers since 1993. This is Howard’s 17th book, and his third one written for solo piano.
Advent Wreath Supplies!
Calvary’s Family Ministries will be making Advent wreath materials available for anyone interested. All materials including a metal wreath form, greenery, and candles will be in the church for pick up the first week of Advent. We need a count in advance in order to set up materials in enough time.
Please sign up if your household is interested in having Advent wreath materials. Click Here to sign up

I am the vine you are the branches
2021 Stewardship Team
Each year the tree puts out new life – new leaves, new twigs, new flowers. For the tree to sustain this new growth, it also expands the trunk – new wood, a new ring, more girth, more strength; new wood to conduct nutrients to and from leaves and roots.
The good husbandman attends to the health of the whole tree.
The growing Calvary Church looks forward to expanded ministries and also to deepen existing ones. We tend to the need of our growing youth. We are are mindful of our roots and foundation, the health of our living members and the members and the legacy of our ancestors.
We are all stewards of the church, contributing as we can through time, talent and treasure to feed the life of this tree within God’s forest – to support both the trunk and the fruit that will come to share his Grace and Glory.
“I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit…”

Calvary’s Anti-Racism Journey Engaging our Faith in the World
Wednesday, September 23 7:00 pm
As Baptized Christians, we promise that we will strive for justice and peace among all people, with God’s help.
We’ve been taught that in a polite society, we don’t talk religion and politics. Some have expressed recently, “that’s all that’s left to talk about… so how do I proceed?”
How do we effectively engage our faith amid the realities of racism? How do we engage in meaningful civil discourse as Christians in this 21st century, COVID reality? What happens when politics intersect with life and faith?
