Youth Gathering this Sunday

Wednesday Evenings at Calvary

Due to Phase II of Calvary's construction, all Wednesday evening activities, including dinner, classes, and choir rehearsals, take place at St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral. Join us for breakfast for dinner tonight! 

This Sunday

Sundays at Calvary include Basement Church, Holy Eucharist, Formation Classes for all ages, and more. Note that due to Phase II of construction, all formation offerings take place in the Grizzlies Prep building adjacent to Calvary, and we will not offer parish breakfast.

This Sunday in the adult formation class, we welcome Janel Bakker, a Memphis Theological Seminary professor. Together, we will explore what it means to love our neighbors and our enemies, especially during election season.

See the full schedule for this Sunday at the link below. 

Holy Eucharist with Prayers for Healing

Holy Eucharist with prayers for healing is offered at noon in the church on Wednesdays. During the summer season, we will use fresh liturgical language and a reflective conversation will be shared in place of a sermon. All are welcome!

Realm Help Desk: This Sunday

If you have questions about accessing Realm, Calvary’s member directory, look for Ebet Peeples in the Welcome Inn after the 10:30 a.m. worship service this Sunday, April 28.

What is Realm?
Realm is a safe, private, and secure ministry platform—a browser-based application for the parish. It is an interactive tool that integrates members, ministries, and groups. The member directory is in Realm.

You can update your own profile (including a picture), keep in touch with others, stay involved in groups, make a pledge and manage giving, register for events, and more. In the app store, search for Realm Connect for both iOS and Android.

Evensong: May 5

A service with ancient roots, Evensong is a 40-minute choral-led service of prayers and scripture. If you need to sit and reflect, if music feeds your soul, if you can’t quite make it in the morning, if you believe that beauty is a portal to heaven, this is a service for you.

Acolyte Training

On May 5, immediately following the 10:30 a.m. worship service, Acolyte Training will be held for the youth in grades 5–11 (those who will be in 6– 12 grade for the 2024-2025 school year) in the church.

12-Step Eucharist

Friday, April 26, 5:30 p.m. at Barth House, 409 Patterson St. 

All are welcome at a 12-step Eucharist, followed by an open 12–step meeting and a meal, on Friday, April 26, at 5:30 p.m. at Barth House Episcopal Center, 409 Patterson St., Memphis, TN 38111. 

Welcome Inn Donations

If you have clothes closet donations for our neighbors experiencing homelessness, please bring them to Calvary each Sunday when you come to church between 6 a.m. and noon. The security guard will help you put them in the bin as you enter from the parking lot. Or, if you come during the week, please bring them to  82 N. 2nd St., the Welcome Inn. We will be open for clothing donations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. Go south on Second Street since it’s one way.

Philadelphia Eleven Film Screening

Wednesday, April 24, 6 p.m. at Buckman Performing Arts Center, 60 Perkins Extd. (FREE) 

Thursday, May 2, 6 p.m. at Malco Paradiso Cinema Grill, 584 S. Mendenhall 

In an act of civil disobedience, a group of women and their supporters organize their ordination to become Episcopal priests in 1974. The Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia welcomes them, but change is no small task. The women are harassed, threatened and banned from stepping on church property. 

All are invited to watch one of these screenings. On May 19, Calvary will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Philadelphia Eleven. During formation, we’ll hear from the Rev. Mimsy Jones, the Rev. Eyleen Farmer, the Rev. Anne Carriere, and the Rev. Katherine Bush about their experiences as deacons and priests. 

Pentecost: Calling all linguists!

In celebration of the gift of the Spirit on Pentecost, Calvary parishioners who speak other languages are invited to join in the reading of the lesson from the Acts of the Apostles in various tongues on Sunday, May 19, at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Reach out to Ebet Peeples for more information.
