Organizations
Beyond the Sunday morning worship experience
Calvary offers many opportunities for folks to come together to engage in their favourite activities whether it is singing or serving or praying or simply enjoying a shared meal.
Here are some opportunities to consider.
United Voices:
Calvary's choir rehearses every Thursday night at 7:30 and helps to lead worship on Sunday morning. All who love to sing are invited to join.
The United Church Women (UCW) meet on the second Tuesday of the month. They enjoy a variety of programs, activities and outings and organize social events for the whole church. All women are welcome.
The Week of Guided Prayer
invites people to experience a retreat in the midst of day-to-day busyness. For one week retreatants spend half an hour a day in private meditation using scripture as a guide. Later in the day they meet for another half hour with a companion to share their experience. The next event will be held in November.
The Calvary Quilters
