Every Sunday through April 3, we will gather from 10am – 10:50am inside the Church (you may bring in your coffee!) to learn about the Orders of Ministry and how all ministry orders work together to discern decisions and directions in The Episcopal Church.

In this continuing Sunday morning Lenten series, we welcome the Venerable Chip Whitacre as our speaker. Chip was recently appointed by Bishop Loya as Archdeacon for the east metro and southeast mission areas of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, including Rochester. Chip was ordained deacon in The Episcopal Church in 2013 and has served parishes, the wider diocese, and the community in many ways since then. All are welcome to learn from Chip about the Order of the Diaconate in The Episcopal Church.  In many if not most cases, God calls people to the diaconate out of their immediate faith community, and with the support of that community.  Chip will be our preacher at all services this Sunday as well as leading our Forum at 10:00am. We welcome Chip and his wife Lynne to Calvary.

Bring your questions and open hearts and curiosity about how God might be calling you.
