Annual Events
Fellowship abounds year-round! Calvary's parish life revolves around the liturgical calendar followed by Christians everywhere since the first century. Many of our parish festivals are common among Anglicans; others, however, aren't as strictly tied to the religious calendar.
These annual parish events include:
- Wreath-making on the first Sunday of Advent.
- St. Nicholas Party in early December, for younger Sunday School students.
- Tree-trimming, hanging greens in the church, and carol singing just before Christmas.
- New Year's Eve Party, from 6 to 8 p.m., with a special clock set from 10 p.m. to midnight so everyone can be home in bed by 9:15.
- Burns Night Dinner, with a "Kirkin o' the Tartans" in church, followed by a Scottish meal, dancing, and the recitation of Robbie Burns' poetry.
- Shrove Tuesday pancake supper, with proceeds benefiting the youth mission trip fund.
- Agape Meal, following the Easter Vigil.
- Courtyard garden planting, on a Sunday morning in May.
- Oasis Party in the courtyard in July.
- The "Stone Throw" in late October, in which parishioners compete at tossing a large, heavy stone for distance out in the courtyard.
