It’s been 98 years since plates were piled up with waffles, chicken hash, and fish pudding at Calvary’s first Waffle Shop in Lent of 1928. For all that’s changed in our world since then, Memphians still stream to Calvary each year for these three dishes, as well as more “recent” additions such as shrimp mousse, tomato aspic, and Tennessee bourbon pie. Why some of these might not have been on the menu even as long as you’ve been alive! But Waffle Shop has become the ultimate annual comfort food for many, so we are pleased to let you know that it will be up and running again in 2026!
Dining is offered in person in the Mural Room on a first-come, first-served basis. Groups of 10+ can make reservations in advance by calling 901-525-6602. To-go meals will be offered.

Classes begin at 9:15 a.m. We ask that you arrive promptly whenever possible. Thank you!

2026-03-22 09:15 - 10:15 | Calvary Episcopal Church, 102 North 2nd Street, Memphis, TN 38103, United States, 2 N 2nd St, United States
The word “formation” is more than just Episcopal jargon for Sunday School or Christian Education. When we come together in community to study and pray and discuss the ways of God, we are being shaped and reshaped by new ideas and the perspectives of others. Sometimes we get a glimpse of God and of who God calls us to be.

February 22 – March 15: Sunday Scripture: Lenten Lectionary Edition (Bethlehem Chapel)
The Biblical texts for Lent are rich with meaning. Come explore, discuss, and learn more about these passages that sometimes just wash over us in church. We’ll take a closer look at each of the readings appointed for each Sunday, and you’ll come away with a different perspective on our weekly worship.

March 22: The Hospitality Hub in the Bethlehem Chapel
Calvary helped found the HUB in 2007, and we continue to partner with them as we care for our downtown neighbors. Learn more about their vital work and what it means to serve those who are unhoused holistically and with compassion.

March 29: A Closer Look at Palm Sunday (Bethlehem Chapel)
A lot happens in our Palm Sunday liturgy as we move from the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem all the way to his crucifixion. We’ll take a careful look at the first part of the story that sometimes gets lost in the roller coaster of events.

April 5: Easter Sunday, no formation

At the beginning of the 10:30 a.m. worship service, children in grades JK-2 are invited to follow the banner out of the church to Children’s Chapel, which is held in the Corner Room adjacent to the nursery. There, children experience the Liturgy of the Word in an interactive and child-friendly manner. We sing, pray, and hear the stories of the Bible. Children are escorted back to church at the time of the Peace to join their families for Communion. All are welcome, including younger children accompanied by a parent. Older children are invited to take on leadership roles, such as reading prayers, leading songs, and distributing supplies. Please join us!

Using the Voice for Life curriculum established by the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM), Organist-Choirmaster Kristin Lensch promotes a complete and quality approach to children’s music ministry that is as much a Christian education experience as a musical training experience.
