Re-imagine
Join us on Sunday, September 9, as we begin a new sermon series, Re-imagine. We will mine the Psalms, the prayer book of the Hebrew people, to help explore our own life of faith here at Calvary. Well look closely at our sanctuary, structure, mission efforts, and affiliations to review where we are and think about where we might go. Then we look at the prophetic texts of the lectionary to see what the world might look like if it were transformed by the Gospel message. What is our commitment as we think about our calling as a church to be salt and light in the world. Come re-imagine with us!

Amy Sullivan is a journalist who writes about religion and politics, most recently as a senior editor at TIME magazine. A Michigan native, Amy moved to DC over 17 years ago, around the same time she gave up on the idea of finding a Baptist church that was involved in social justice and valued women in leadership. After making the rounds of nearly every mainline denomination in DC, Amy is thrilled to have found Calvary and to stop calling herself a "former Baptist." She and her not-quite-two-year-old daughter Finoula look forward to being an active part of the Calvary community.
