NEW WORSHIP SERIES

“Come to the Table”

Sept. 6 thru Oct. 4, 2020, 9:30 AM

​

This Sunday September 20, 2020

WORSHIP SERVICE 9:30 AM or Facebook Live!

For persons of all ages and backgrounds

​

OUR FOCUS THIS SUNDAY IS THE “TABLE OF PEACE”  

Peacemaking is hard work!  We must be willing to suspend our tendency to judge others.  Forgiveness is on the menu at God’s table.  We are invited to successfully deal with one another despite our differences.  A timely and relevant topic in the divisive culture in which we live!!  This is the third service in the series “COME TO THE TABLE.”   

Join us to worship God online or safely in our large sanctuary where you can easily distance more than six feet from others.  CV-19 safety protocols are followed, and masks must be worn throughout worship.  We recognize and support how everyone’s definition of safety varies. Please exit Calvary’s sanctuary immediately after worship and socialize outside the building.

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” - Matt 18:20

In this “Come to the Table” series, we hear the call to dine with Jesus–an invitation that means much more than a simple eating experience. It never was with Jesus. The table was the place where he not only fed people but challenged them to acts of hospitality that reflect God’s way. When we say “yes” to the place at Christ’s table, we accept a way of life that embraces God’s definition of love, peace, grace, and joy.

WORSHIP UPDATE!   WORSHIP IS AT 9:30 AM

Our worship services will be “hybrid” meaning you can choose to come “in-person” or watch on Facebook Live @ 9:30 AM (or at your leisure as the video will be recorded and saved online).  You do NOT need to be a Facebook subscriber to participate in FB Live.

​

PHASE TWO OF OUR RE-OPENING PLAN HAS BEGUN                                                 Designated spaces on the first floor only (Sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, Stage, Narthex and Bathrooms) are available to all building use groups that have signed off on the Covid-19 Protocol Compliance Agreement.   

We will be posting a short video soon to visually walk you through the steps we’ve taken to keep all who use our building safe from the car to the pew/chair and back.  We want you to feel safe and to make decisions based on knowledge of YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS AND OUR BUILDING SPACE AND CV-19 PROTOCOLS. 

As a reminder, these are the main points of our CV-19 Protocols:

*  Safe distancing (6 ft min. is maintained (our beautiful sanctuary allows for this easily)

*  Masks are worn at all times                                                                                                      

*  Hand sanitizing upon entry or arrival

*  Commonly touched surfaces are disinfected before and after each group uses the building

*  Air circulation enhanced (why Calvary will worship in the sanctuary with all windows open)

*  No congregational singing indoors – we’ll listen to our wonderful singers and musicians

*  No touch policy – continue to hold off on those hugs and handshakes!

*  CDC and NJ State restrictions and guidelines are followed

Dumont Black Lives Matter Event - June 9, 2020 

Begin or continue your journey of changing inherent racism.  We invite you to reflect on this video, "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man," which is less than 15 minutes long.  Calvary UMC will continue its intentional effort to help individuals, and our congregation, to learn, listen, and change as we endeavor to BE the church and community that God envisioned.  Black lives matter just as all lives matter.  Please keep visiting our website for updates on events you are warmly invited to participate in, or give us your email so we can reach out to you.
