Raising of Lazarus

In today’s gospel Jesus reveals his power over death by raising Lazarus from the dead. The prophet Ezekiel prophesies God breathing new life into dry bones.

To those in exile or living in the shadows of death, these stories proclaim God’s promise of resurrection.

In baptism we die with Christ that we might also be raised with him to new life. At the Easter Vigil we will welcome the newly baptized as we remember God’s unfailing promise in our baptism.

Readings for Sunday, March 22

Ezekiel 37:1-14
The dry bones of Israel brought to life
Psalm 130
I wait for you, O Lord; in your word is my hope. (Ps. 130:5)
Romans 8:6-11
Life in the Spirit
John 11:1-45
Baptismal image: the raising of Lazarus

I invite the entire Calvary community to join the council in a year-long journey of transformation.

The vision for 2026 is to transition from a model of institutional maintenance to one of intentional discipleship, where we become a "porous church".  

This means blurring the boundaries between our sanctuary and the Concord community, allowing the needs of our neighbors to "leak" into our hearts and our faith to "leak" out into the world.

Welcome to Calvary's New Organist

Growing in Faith - Sunday Mornings at 9:45am in the fellowship hall

Come join us! We began a new video study on January 25th: The Last Supper - Conversations that Led to the Cross
Travel with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in this profound Lenten six-week study that explores the parables and stories Jesus told at tables along the way to his final meal. Will Willimon invites viewers to experience how these table stories--about searching shepherds, welcoming hosts, prodigal sons, and rejected invitations--illuminate the deeper meaning of the Last Supper and Christ's sacrifice. All are welcome!

Discipleship Class - The Discipleship Group started a new study on Sunday, January 18th at 5pm in the parlor. All are welcome!

The Discipleship group is studying The Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. This book is a probing, insightful, and witty look at the ways that Christian nationalists misconstrue the Biblical teachings of Jesus and how to take the Bible back.

The Slideshow features pictures of Trailfest and of workers preparing the trail...

Trailfest occurred on May 24th. It was sponsored by Stewardship and Congregational Life. We enjoyed a cookout and activities celebrating the opening of the Serenity Trail.

Work has continued through the summer with much progress made on preparing the trail as a beautiful, serene place for our community to enjoy.
