In addition to making music at home, the Calvary Choir has traveled to England to participate in a week-long choral residency at the Bristol Cathedral. They are known for both their dedication to and love of music and close camaraderie. Interested singers should contact Organist-Choirmaster Kristin Lensch.

Transforming Questions: Confirmation Class with the Rev. Scott Walters
2024-10-09 18:15 - 19:15 | St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, 700 Poplar Ave., Memphis, TN, 38105, United States
Transforming Questions: Confirmation
Wednesdays, 6:15 – 7:15
Transforming Questions offers the opportunity to engage in faithful questioning: Who is Jesus? Does God answer prayer? Why do bad things happen? By asking questions, we see our faith transform, deepen, and develop from something simple and superficial to something complicated and rich. And, by asking questions, we see ourselves transformed, as the answers that we find, or the new questions that we discover, demand that we respond, changing not only what we think but also how we live.
This class meets Wednesday evenings from Oct. 2 through Nov. 20 and provides a path for adults seeking Confirmation on Sunday, Nov. 24, when Bishop Phoebe makes her annual visitation. It’s also open to anyone who loves a good, meaningful conversation!

Paul McLain will guide us in living this question as we explore Brooks’s book How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others and Being Deeply Seen. Copies of the book are available at Novel bookstore and other local booksellers. All are welcome.

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 it is a musical training experience. Choristers often become peer leaders over time as they progress through the program. Rehearsal is on Wednesdays from 6:15 to 7 p.m. Afterward, they attend Compline until 7:15 p.m.
