Welcome To Calvary Episcopal!

After 120 years, still a thinking persons church, and still thinking young.

We find God in mystery, beauty, compassion, justice, and inclusiveness. We embrace respectful differences of opinion on church and world issues. Like all of Creation, our understanding of faith (and ourselves) evolves as God continues to be revealed to us.

Check your expectations at the door. Those of us who call it home know Calvary Episcopal is a great alternative. Join us this week to see what we mean!

Calvary Episcopal Church News Highlights

Altar Guild Welcomes New Members!

Our group dedicated to quiet service is very excited to welcome four new members!

Children

Calvary Episcopal has Children's Sunday school every Sunday morning. We have two different age groups: 3-6 years old and 7-12 years old. Every week they learn from the same Gospel you will be learning during the Morning Eucharist. We welcome all kids to our Sunday school group where they get to learn about our Lord by sharing in some fun projects and crafts during their time with us; please come and bring your kids, grand kids, nieces and nephews, etc. We'd love to share this time with them! We will break for the summer from May 21st and will return in September; have a wonderful and safe summer!

Genteel Joplin Concert and Luncheon, June 9th.

The theme for our Annual Genteel Joplin concert and luncheon is not set yet but "they are back"! The “Ragtime Trio + One + One More”. The concert will be held on  Saturday, June 9th at 11:30 in our Sanctuary and admission to the concert is FREE. The luncheon will be at 12:30 in the fellowship hall; the meal will consist of our famous chicken salad sandwiches with fresh fruit, desserts and drinks all for $8 per person.

All of the proceeds from the luncheon will be donated to the Josh Eberting Scholarship Fund. This fund is a way for young men and women to attend an alternative High School.

We need volunteers to provide the chicken salad, desserts, and preparing the fresh fruit, serving the food, and helping with set up and clean up. As always monetary donations are gratefully accepted. Let’s make this the usual huge success it has been in years past! If you would like to volunteer or make donations you can contact Sylvia Hopkins. We hope you all will enjoy this year's concert and luncheon.

The Canterbury Book Club is for women who love to read. This ecumenical club is open to all, so bring a friend! The book to be discussed in May, is The Greater Journey, by David McCullough.
