Calvary Online

Calvary Online & COVID

Beginning Sunday, June 28th, Calvary will begin holding in-person outdoor and indoor church services, according to our typical summer schedule. It is both an exciting and anxious time! Worship will look the same in many ways, but with some very noticeable differences. Lay Ministry and church leadership have been discussing this transition for some time, endeavoring to plan for whatever contingencies we might face. We are overjoyed to be able to return to worshiping together and reuniting the faithful with His church, safely and to the fullest extent possible. Please note:

The outdoor service will be held Sunday morning at 8:30am. The majority of set-up will be done prior to service and you're encouraged to move chairs and sit where you feel most comfortable. Canopies are available to shield against sun, but check the weather, judge for yourself, and dress to ensure your comfort. Inclement weather will move this service indoors. The indoor service will be held at 10am - this will be the same service as the outdoor service, with some adjustments to process, such as communion (see below).
Holy Communion will be served by individual cup at your seat at the outdoor service, and in continuous fashion for the indoor. We will continue to observe social distancing with the Pastor and communion assistant wearing gloves and masks.
For both services, we will be following proper social distancing protocols – sitting at least 6' apart, unless from the same household, and wearing masks are strongly encouraged. Whatever our personal feelings, let us show compassion and caring for the welfare of others as Christ did for us.
We do have a touchless thermometer - please have your temperature taken before you sit, or take it yourself before coming to church to ensure you’re not running a low-grade fever which may have escaped your notice.
If you are sick, don’t feel well, have been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID during the last two weeks, please stay home – we will still be posting the service to the Calvary website.
Calvary will be maintaining an online worship service presence – each service will be recorded and posted to calvarylutherancs.org, along with the worship folder, as soon as possible following Sunday’s service.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we continue to navigate this crisis. Praise God we can now gather together, and we're working every week to improve and make the experience meaningful for everyone. Please check this website and monitor our Facebook page regularly, along with signing-up for Calvary’s email list, as news and updates will be shared as they happen. Lastly, don’t hesitate to contact the church office at 410.426.4301 should you have any questions, need additional information, or just to let us know how we can best serve you. There's lots of talk about how the church will never be the same and how we all have to change completely and forever. But the ones saying that are not the ones who are in charge – our God is - God is good, all the time!
