On Sunday, July 13, we will be experiencing some unusual downtown construction that will make things interesting!

Getting to Calvary will present some challenges due to the construction. Please note that the Damon Ramp will be open and can be accessed by traveling south on 4th Avenue, then turning left onto 1st Street, followed by an immediate left onto 3rd Avenue, and finally a left into the ramp. Please be aware that 3rd Avenue will be closed to the south of the ramp.

We will still be holding services at Calvary! Morning Prayer will be offered at both 8:30 am and 10:30 am, thanks to our dedicated Morning Prayer leaders.

Additionally, we have received a wonderful invitation to join the worship service at Christ Church in Old Frontenac, the parish of the Rev. Paul Ehling. Christ Church, located near Lake Pepin, will be hosting Episcopal parishes from Red Wing, Winona, Lake City, and Wabasha for their “All Churches Service” and has graciously extended this invitation to us as well. Many of you will remember Paul, who was sponsored for ordination by Calvary and remains a cherished member of our community. Christ Church holds its summer worship services outdoors in their beautiful hillside amphitheater, and the service will begin at 9:30 am. The drive to Old Frontenac is approximately one hour from Rochester.

Following the service at Christ Church, they will be hosting a potluck, and  Calvary folks are invited to bring a dessert to share. Weather permitting, Paul will also be leading a two-mile hike on the Prairie Trail at Frontenac State Park, which is conveniently located near Christ Church. We hope you will consider these options for worship on July 13th.
