SUMMARY:Stones\, Scones\, and Halloween Bones
DESCRIPTION:Calvary Scones\, Stones\, and Halloween Bones\,\naka Eat\, Compete\, and Dress Up\nSunday\, October 26\, from 9:00 to 10:30 in the courtyard \nFall is in the air\, and it is time for Calvary’s annual Stone Throw. Legend has it that ownership of Calvary’s corner lot rested on a bet made by George Head\, Rochester’s first mayor\, and Benjamin Whipple\, Minnesota’s first Episcopal Bishop: whoever threw a massive stone farthest would become the owner. Every year\, we celebrate Bishop Whipple’s historic win with a recreation of the event. Come and see if you are the parishioner who will win the stone throw this year. Many thanks to the Mueller family for organizing the Stone Throw. \nAnd that’s not all! We are excited to announce that we will be serving homemade scones (just like the ones served to Mayor Head and Bishop Whipple) with coffee\, cider\, and hot chocolate. If you would like to contribute homemade scones\, please let Cindy Heins know at (507) 993-5824 or heins.cynthia@gmail.com. \nBut wait\, there’s more! It is the Sunday before Halloween\, so we encourage you to wear your Halloween costume to eat\, compete\, and of course\, attend the 8:30 or 10:30 service.

SUMMARY:Worship at Christ Church\, Frontenac
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, July 13\, we will be experiencing some unusual downtown construction that will make things interesting!\n\nGetting 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.\n\nWe 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.\n\nAdditionally\, 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.\n\nFollowing 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.

SUMMARY:Bylaws Forum
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, June 1\, is a parish meeting for all members age 16 and over at Calvary. Please join me in Crawford Hall at 9:15 am to hear about our newly established endowments\, vote on changes in our financial policy\, and vote on the new bylaws we have been working on since January. \nCalvary has been blessed over the past year with financial gifts that allow us to establish two endowment funds\, funds that will benefit Calvary for generations to come. Our finance team has been working very hard over the past couple of months to establish these funds and work on some changes to our financial policy. One fund will be called the Property Preservation Fund\, meant to benefit the integrity of our buildings and grounds. The second fund will be called the Bishop Whipple Calvary Mission Fund\, a general endowment for the mission of the parish. Both funds will be managed professionally and used when interest is generated. \nThe parish meeting will begin promptly at 9:15\, so grab some coffee and come upstairs for this important gathering. We are blessed at Calvary not only with these financial resources but also with the amazing people who are members – and the skills and talents of our finance team are beyond measure. John Winter\, Christie Atwell\, Darren Cooper\, Laurie Leaf\, Tom Abts\, Daniel Borup\, and our co-wardens\, Ellen Youngers and Jean Fox\, have joined together to create something exciting and lasting. I thank God for them. \nIn the name of our risen and living Lord Christ\,\nBeth+

SUMMARY:The Great Vigil of Easter
DESCRIPTION:7:00 pm\nEaster Vigil and first Eucharist of Easter\n\n\n\n\nAdapted from An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church:\nThe liturgy intended as the first (and arguably\, the primary) celebration of Easter in the BCP (pp. 284-95). It is also known as the Great Vigil. The service begins in darkness\, sometime between sunset on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter\, and consists of four parts: The Service of Light (kindling of new fire\, lighting the Paschal candle\, the Exsultet); The Service of Lessons (readings from the Hebrew Scriptures interspersed with psalms\, canticles\, and prayers); Christian Initiation (Holy Baptism) or the Renewal of Baptismal Vows; and the Eucharist. Through this liturgy\, the BCP recovers an ancient practice of keeping the Easter feast. Believers would gather in the hours of darkness ending at dawn on Easter to hear scripture and offer prayer. This night-long service of prayerful watching anticipated the baptisms that would come at first light and the Easter Eucharist. Easter was the primary baptismal occasion for the early church to the practical exclusion of all others. This practice linked the meanings of Christ’s dying and rising to the understanding of baptism.

SUMMARY:Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:12:00 pm\nGood Friday liturgy \n7:00 pm\nGood Friday liturgy \n\nAdapted from An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church:\nThe Friday before Easter Day\, on which the church commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a day of fasting and special acts of discipline and self-denial. In the early church\, candidates for baptism\, joined by others\, fasted for a day or two before the Paschal feast. In the west the first of those days eventually acquired the character of historical reenactment of the passion and death of Christ. The liturgy of the day includes John’s account of the Passion gospel\, a solemn form of intercession known as the solemn collects (dating from ancient Rome)\, and optional devotions before the cross (commonly known as the veneration of the cross). The eucharist is not celebrated in the Episcopal Church on Good Friday\, but Holy Communion may be administered from the reserved sacrament at the Good Friday service.
