Safe Families creates extended family-like support for families in crisis through a community of compassionate volunteers. We keep children safe and families intact.
We organize vetted and trained volunteers from local churches to offer a broad community of support for families who feel overwhelmed or isolated. Our volunteers seek to empower, encourage, and strengthen families through mutually beneficial relationships. There are a variety of volunteer roles to come alongside families. The roles are flexible and volunteers can offer support according to their skills, interests, and availability.
Volunteer roles:
1. Family Friend- befriends and supports parents and/or their children, by offering services such as babysitting, transportation, mentoring, help connecting with local resources, help with job or housing searches, and other friend-like support.
2. Resource Friend- donates and delivers a variety of items (beds, clothes, diapers, etc.) or volunteer services (medical care, dental care, counseling, etc.) to families.
3. Family Coach- coordinates the team of volunteers, making sure that the parent, child, and Family Friends have the resources needed to thrive.
4. Host Family*- temporarily host the children of families in crisis so that the parent can work towards gaining stability.
*Overnight hosting is temporarily suspended in NYC, however, those who are interested in hosting in the future should come to this introductory training.

Sea Dog Theater in assoc. with Olmsted Salon presents
Inherit the Wind by Lawrence and Lee
Tickets $25: Wine & Refreshments included, DISCOUNT: $5 off ticket price with code: MBIRD
SEA DOG THEATER produces new and established work that addresses questions of alienation and reconciliation. We believe that great theater offers us opportunities in paying attention and cultivating compassion. With an emphasis on hospitality, our mission is to build a community of artists and theater-goers that join in the conversation of how reconciliation can take place in our daily lives. We are in residency at Olmsted Salon, a program of Calvary/St. George’s Church in Manhattan, sponsored by the Gramercy Park Block Association. www.seadogtheater.org @seadogtheater
INHERIT THE WIND This courtroom drama is based on the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," in which a Tennessee teacher was charged with teaching that man evolved from apes, instead of state-mandated Creationism. The drama contains a powerful confrontation between a character based on William Jennings Bryan, who believes only what he reads in the Bible, and another based on Clarence Darrow, who defends science and open intellectual inquiry.
DIRECTED BY: Dan Foster
FEATURING: Tony Award-winning Len Cariou and Obie & Drama Desk Award-Winning Jay O. Sanders
WITH: Eric Sheffer Stevens, Shaun Bennet Fauntleroy, Dan Kublick, Rachel Murdy, Brigitte Choura, Jenn Miller Cribbs, Michael Castillejos, Anthony Platipodis, Connor Coughlin, Dorea Slagle, Matt Love, Devin Burnam and Janice Amaya.

“Devotion Groups” at Calvary ~ St. George's are small groups of parishioners who meet together weekly during specific seasons of the church calendar to devote themselves to Jesus and one another through prayer, scripture reading and a brief Bible study. They are called “Devotion Groups” because they follow one of the Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families described above in the Book of Common Prayer: morning,noon, early evening or “at close of day." The groups meet for just an hour, and follow a guided and time-tested format. You'll enjoy the brief guided study, engage in group prayer and meet new friends from our parish. The aim is to keep the time commitment small, but the takeaways large.
Celebrate the glory of The Resurrection at our three regular Sunday service times.
St. George’s Chapel, 8:30am - Morning Prayer
St. George’s Church, 10am - Holy Communion
Calvary Church, 11am - Holy Communion
There will be no 5pm service on Easter Sunday.
The Office of Holy Saturday, 10am - Calvary Church (15 minute service)
Holy Saturday is where the liturgy brings us into the tomb with Jesus. Join us for the solemn and reflective service as we await the joy of the resurrection.
The Great Vigil of Easter, 8pm - Calvary Church
Service begins outside Calvary Church at 277 Park Avenue South at East 21st Street
The Great Vigil of Easter is the central service of the Christian year. The service begins on the steps of Calvary Church, where a great fire is lit. The service continues in the dark church, where readings of solemn prophecies of the Old Testament recall God’s saving deeds in history. The Great Vigil continues with a baptism. Suddenly, the church is flooded in light, the organ blasts and chimes ring out, the news is shouted throughout the church: Christ is risen! The choir and congregation join in singing the joyful Easter hymn: Jesus Christ is risen today!
Calvary Church Services - noon, 6pm
On Good Friday, in a dimly lit church, the sanctuary stark and stripped bare, we gather together to contemplate the mystery of God incarnate, sacrificed for those he created and loves.
Following each Good Friday service, priests are available to hear private confession in the Chapel of Repose and the Chapel of the Holy Cross at Calvary Church. A service book is provided, and all who wish to are invited to make their confession. In the Anglican tradition, our belief about private confession to a priest is that “all may, some should, and none must.”
