June 2nd: Graduation and Recognition Sunday

Sunday, June 2nd is Graduation and Recognition Sunday.   This is the Sunday when we thank our Church School and Children’s Chapel teachers, and recognize all the children who have participated in these programs.  We also thank those who have sung in the Junior Choir and served as Acolytes.  Finally, we present certificates to children who have begun receiving communion this year.  Please plan to be present on this special Sunday!  There will be ICE CREAM SUNDAES FOR EVERYONE in the Parish Hall, after the 10:30 worship service!

Parents of children receiving communion for their first time in 2013, please contact the parish office ASAP with your child’s name, so that we may prepare a special certificate!  Thanks!

Rev. Jon Stratton to visit Calvary

Rev. Jon Stratton, Diocesan Missioner at the Deaconess Anne House in Old North St. Louis, will join us this coming Sunday, May 26th.  Jon will preach and teach.  The Deaconess Anne House is a new model Christian mission to the neighboring community.  It is designed to be a place where young Episcopalians can live in intentional Christian community sometime around their college or young adult years, and  can have a positive impact on the area around them, while they learn from their neighbors, and their neighbors’ needs.

It should be an interesting Sunday here at Calvary!  Come hear about the new ways Missouri Episcopalians are living out their call to follow Jesus, and help incarnate his love.

PS–Calvary’s Youth Groups are helping furnish a room at the Deaconess Anne House, and will take a mission trip there this summer!
