Fall Worship at Calvary

Will Justice Roll Down or Trickle Down?

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 AT 10AM

Amos was a small-town shepherd when God called him to be a prophet for justice. This relatively unknown "nobody" spoke boldly to those in power, railing against their policies and systems that favored profit over people. Join Amos on his quest for a fair and equitable society where justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Amos 1:1-2; 5:14-15, 21-24


The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of King Uzziah of Judah and in the days of King Jeroboam son of Joash of Israel, two years* before the earthquake.


And he said:

The Lord roars from Zion,

  and utters his voice from Jerusalem;

the pastures of the shepherds wither,

  and the top of Carmel dries up.


Seek good and not evil,

  that you may live;

and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,

  just as you have said.

Hate evil and love good,

  and establish justice in the gate;

it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,

  will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.


I hate, I despise your festivals,

  and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

Even though you offer me your burnt-offerings and grain-offerings,

  I will not accept them;

and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals

  I will not look upon.

Take away from me the noise of your songs;

  I will not listen to the melody of your harps.

But let justice roll down like waters,

  and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

A foggy mountain scene that says 'a sound of sheer silence'

Elijah is a very relatable prophet. He has moments of great faithfulness, and moments where his fear gets in the way and his hope dissolves into despair. How does God respond to Elijah, and to us, in those moments when we forget just how great God's faithfulness really is.

Toward the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his disciples to be the 'salt of the earth' and 'light of the world'. How is God calling Calvary to be light for the world?
An image of the SF fog rolling in at night, text reads
By Rev. Victor Floyd October 26, 2025
We must learn to let our spirits dance with God, even in the thick of this world’s confusion—with Halloween costumes, deep questions, and all the rest. Come ready for joy, mystery and a holy mash-up where darkness becomes the very place where God does her best work.

The Women of Calvary Bible Study

3rd Thursdays of the month • zoom • 6 - 7:15pm

The Women of Calvary Bible Study meets via Zoom on the third Thursday of the month from 6 pm - 7:15 pm starting on September 18, 2025.
This year's study is Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ by Rhashell D. Hunter. In this Bible study, we will explore resilience. This is modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus. The Bible study is also about joy. How do we find joy in a chaotic world? Christian joy may be different from how a lot of people define joy. We will also seek to rediscover our identity.
Please join us for this study whether you're new to Bible Study or have participated in this study for years. Books are $10, scholarships available!
