Sun. - 9 am
Welcome to Worship! We welcome you in Christ’s name and thank you for sharing this worship moment with us. May this time of praise both honor God and inspire you.
We invite you to join us following worship for a time of fellowship with coffee & treats in our Fellowship Hall (through the glass doors in the gathering area).
If you are looking for a church home, come and explore all that Calvary has to offer. Please fill out a ‘Communion Participation & Visitor Registration’ card, located in the pew pockets, so that we may get to know you better. You may drop it in the offering basket or hand it to an usher. Then feel free to stop in at our “Welcome Desk” and pick up more information about our many ministries.
If you have any questions, please speak with Pastor Roser or any of our staff or volunteers wearing a grey nametag.
Large print bulletins are available from any usher.
Please silence cell phones during worship.

PREPARATORY PRAYER Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Please indicate this to the servers by bringing your service bulletin to the altar rail with you.
When an usher directs you, come to the front using the center aisle
Please kneel at the rail; receive the bread, then the wine.
Grape juice & gluten free wafers are available upon request
Children who do not yet commune receive a blessing
If you are unable to come forward but wish to receive communion, let an usher know and communion will be brought to you
When you are finished, return to the pew by the side aisles
