Calvary
Calvary Episcopal Church is a congregation of the American Episcopal Church, which is part of the Body of Christ throughout the world, the holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. "Episcopal" means "having bishops." Just as the early Church had "overseers," (epi-scopoi) we have bishops who provide for spiritual leadership, direction, and oversight.
We live
our life together under the doctrine, discipline, and worship of an ancient
tradition of Christians, and we are related to the Church of England. Our
worship is liturgical, that is, it follows ancient forms, involving the
whole congregation but using modern language. Consisting of scripture, hymns,
sermon, prayer, and celebration of the Holy Eucharist (also called Holy
Communion, the Lord's Supper, or the Mass), our worship involves everyone. And,
that is what "liturgy" means: the work of the people. We are
part of the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, a judicatory division
(like a synod, presbytery or conference) headed by a bishop who lives in
Asheville. Services for Holy Week 16 March Palm Sunday 8 & 10.30 am The Liturgy of the Palms, reading of the Passion, Holy Communion
