Music Ministries
"Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises" Psalm 47:6
Liturgy is at the heart of all we do at Calvary. From the full array of Sunday services, in weekday worship, and during great feasts and church seasons throughout the year, we reach deeply into the richness of our Anglican tradition, building on it as we explore new ways to give glory to God in our prayer, preaching and music. Please join us and enter a spiritually- rewarding worship experience.
Traditional Service, 8:30am
Traditional celebration of the Holy Eucharist Rite I with organ and choir
This traditional service features piano or organ, with Holy Eucharist Rite I. Calvary has a small choir, with both professional and amateur voices, singing traditional hymns from the 1982 Episcopal hymnal, as well as songs from “Lift Every Voice and Sing”. This choir is sometimes joined by youth from Calvary Episcopal Prep.
Contemporary Service, 10:30am
Contemporary celebration of the Holy Eucharistic Rite II with praise music; also, Children's Chapel
The Calvary Music Ministry is a dedicated group of talented voices and musicians that help lead worship on Sundays at the 10:30 a.m. service. Members come from many backgrounds and range in age from high school to retirement. This dynamic team of musicians and voices offers selections tailored to the readings and the message for a particular Sunday. Often, their Sunday offering is a unique blend of the newer more modern worship music combined with the inspiration found in the tradition of ancient hymns. The team strives to serve God through the varied talents He gifts upon each member and together they offer this ministry to the Calvary congregation. Members share their talents of voice and instruments; some share both. Some are professional musicians, some are amateurs, but they all have one thing in common, a love of Jesus Christ, and that love is reflected in the voices and instruments they raise in praise during worship each Sunday.

Evening Service, 5:00pm
"It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name. O Most High" Psalm 92:1
The 5:00pm Sunday Service is a more informal service based on the Rite II Liturgy. It is a "come as you are" service with a more relaxed style of praise music with some gospel and inspirational music selections. We have a small worship team who share their gifts each week to facilitate worship and a spiritual connection. Our goal is to invite everyone, in their own way, to receive God's overwhelming love right where they are and participate in the offer of worship
