"Enter God's house reverently, sing joyfully, listen silently, worship expectantly."

| Worship at Calvary Lutheran |
|
Calvary offers a variety of options
as we gather to worship our Lord.
Holy Communion is celebrated at all services.
Saturday Night Alive! 5:15 pm Saturday
is our intimate, informal service which begins at 5:15 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Piano and/or guitar accompany the singing.
Liturgical Lutheran Worship 8:00 am Sunday
is offered at 8:00 am every Sunday morning and features one of the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) settings or the Chicago Folk Service. Hymns are usually from the LBW or With One Voice hymnals. Music from our beautiful pipe organ enhances the traditional LBW worship time while piano or Clavinova accompany the Chicago Folk Service celebrated each second Sunday of the month.
CELEBRATE! Contemporary Worship 10:30 am Sunday
is a praise worship experience. It features more contemporary music and style; our Praise Team leads the singing every Sunday. Text and lyrics are projected onto large screens near the front of the sanctuary. Guitars, African drums and a clavinova accompany the singing.
Adult supervised child care is available on Sunday mornings.
We are very grateful for the presence of children in church. We believe that children of all ages learn best how to worship by participating in worship. However, we know there are some times when it might be better if a nursery were available, and we are pleased to have one. Have one of the ushers take you to the nursery and introduce you to Robin, our nursery attendant. She is available from 7:45 to 11:45 every Sunday.

Large Print Bulletins Are Available
There are limited copies of the worship bulletins in Large Print available from an usher. If you would like to receive a copy on a regular basis, let Nancy or the church office know and one can be placed in your Narthex mailbox each week.
These are free for the asking. |
WEEKLY CHILDREN'S BULLETINS
Please ask an usher to direct you to the basket of Children's Bulletins and crayons at the table in the Narthex. The activities in the bulletins reinforce the scripture lessons of the day. Also take a look at the Kid's Corner for activity bags.
