SUMMARY:The No-Rehearsal Epiphany Pageant
DESCRIPTION:The No Rehearsal Epiphany Pageant is Almost Here!\n \nIt is almost time again to celebrate our annual Epiphany pageant!  What is a No-Rehearsal Epiphany Pageant? Well\, for those of you who dread having to drag your kids to yet another rehearsal\, this\, my fellow parent\,s is the answer! Really\, there is no rehearsal. The pageant involves two steps:\n\n1. December 21 & 28\, 2025 – Costume Fitting \nChoose your child’s costume. On these two Sundays from 9:15 am to 10:15 am\, we will be available in the Children’s Church room downstairs for you to bring your child to choose their costume. We have sheep\, donkeys\, shepherds\, wise people\, and many other costumes to choose from! If you will be out of town for both of these dates\, please email Michelle McKean (faithformation@calvary-rochester.org)\, and she will make sure a costume is set aside for your child.\n\n2. January 4\, 2026 – The No-Rehearsal Epiphany Pageant!\nThe kids just need to show up about 30 minutes before the pageant to collect their costumes and then follow the cues given in the script. There will be a live baby Jesus\, many beautiful costumes\, and you really can’t miss seeing the Calvary camel! One quick tip – especially for the little ones who might want to dress in sheep or cow costumes: make sure they have some cool clothes to wear underneath! We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Advent Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:We are entering one of the greatest gifts of time that we have in our church seasons: Advent. The season begins on November 30\, and this four-week period is meant to give us time to prepare ourselves for the remembrance of the birth of Christ on December 25. Advent is always a time of counter-cultural challenge\, as our lives can easily become too busy\, with tasks both joyful and challenging as we enjoy the holiday season and all that comes with it. It is good to find some time for ritual and spiritual practice to center our busy lives as we walk to Christmas.\n\nAll are invited to join in a discussion based on the book\, “From Holidays to Holy Days: A Benedictine Walk through Advent\,” led by the Rev. Beth Royalty. We will meet on all four Sundays of Advent\, beginning on November 30\, at 9:15 am in the Larsen Fireside Room off of Brackenridge Hall. You may purchase the book\, but owning it is not required for participation. We hope you will attend!

SUMMARY:A Service for Those Who Are Grieving
DESCRIPTION:This time of year\, joyous and anticipatory\, focusing on family\, love\, and gifts\, doesn’t always offer space for those who have suffered loss – of a person\, of health\, of anything important\, and aren’t enjoying this season. For many reasons\, people find this time of year before Christmas to be a time of grief\, sadness\, even depression and anxiety. Many people have an empty chair at the table\, or just don’t have the life they had a year ago.\n\nEveryone is invited to attend a special service on Thursday\, December 18\, at 7:00 pm to find a space for prayer\, contemplative silence\, quiet music\, and candle lighting. A Service for Those Who Are Grieving is for everyone who would welcome a pause and a time to honor grief and shed tears\, if necessary\, in a safe place\, and soak in God’s presence in the holy\, liminal space that is Calvary. A place to lay their grief and anxiety at the feet of Christ\, who heals with his presence and his words. Please come and bring a friend.

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: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.
