Christ and the Samaritan Woman
Altarpiece
ca. 1440
Cathedral of Santa Eulalia
Barcelona, Spain
Bernardo Martorelli

In today’s gospel the Samaritan woman asks Jesus for water, an image of our thirst for God.

Jesus offers living water, a sign of God’s grace flowing from the waters of baptism.

The early church used this gospel and those of the next two Sundays to deepen baptismal reflection during the final days of preparation before baptism at Easter. As we journey to the resurrection feast, Christ comes among us in word, bath, and meal—offering us the life-giving water of God’s mercy and forgiveness.

Calvary's 2026 Council was Presented to the Congregation in January

Journeying Together in 2026
 
An Invitation to The Porous Church from Pastor František


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

We are pleased to welcome Nicholas Skaggs, our new organist, to Calvary.

Nicholas earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Mars Hill College and his Master of Music degree in Organ Performance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Nick has served as organist in the Episcopal, Methodist, Catholic and Baptist churches.

He  joined us on Sunday, March 1.
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.
