We’ll launch the fall season with some storytelling and reflection from Scott Walters on his sabbatical journeys.
Wesley arrived at Calvary mid-summer and is already deep in the work of this place. Come hear a little bit of his story and how his winding path to faith and church brought him to Memphis.
A conversation about how to live generously now and how to continue to give beyond your mortal years. We often avoid conversations about money and death. Come participate in a joyful reflection about these realities that we’ll all navigate.
Dr. Meeks is the author of The Night is Long but Light Comes in the Morning and was the founding director of the Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing. She is a favorite Lenten Preacher, and we’ll be in dialogue with her as a teacher this morning.
Come dig into some good conversation and learn more about the stories we hear in church.
Calvary was a founding supporter of the important work of the Samaritan Counseling Centers. We are delighted to host an office on-site again, an outpost of support and care in downtown. Meet Jeremy Pitzer, LCSW, who will serve here at Second & Adams, and hear from Executive Director Kristin Fox-Trautman about this renewed partnership.
Local author and Episcopal leader Allison Pace brings wisdom and lived experience to a conversation about faithfulness in our households at every stage of life. She’ll be speaking today about lessons applicable to just about every home.
Following this conversation, Calvary will offer follow-up small groups for fellowship and connection on Sundays and Wednesdays with her workbook, The Sacred Order of Parenthood.
Following the wisdom of local author Allison Pace, we’ll offer a series of conversations using her text and learning about the seven truths of parenting. Parents, godparents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends at every stage are invited to connect with one another about this blessed and challenging work.
This is a small group offering in the Corner Room. Participants are encouraged to come to the series and read the text, but all are welcome to drop in.
Have you noticed all the beautiful artwork bringing our new spaces to life? Come hear about the historical pieces we’ve brought forward and the new commissions for this next chapter of Calvary. David Lusk, Catherine Erb, David Johnson, and Carroll Todd will be in conversation on this Sunday morning.

She teaches internationally and is the author of The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: Living Beyond Your Type.

For our recently-completed organ restoration, Jonathan Ambrosino of Boston directed the project’s artistic side. Raised in an Episcopal choir of men and boys, Jonathan has spent much of his life researching organs of our exact builder and era. This background allowed him to bring a keen sense of how to get the sound and feel of our Aeolian-Skinner organ closer to its 1935 roots. In this Sunday’s forum, Jonathan will discuss what that sound is and some of the remarkably low-tech yet detailed ways that sound is achieved.
Join us on the Sunday after Thanksgiving for our annual Advent Festival. Wreath-making supplies, candles, and some fresh greenery will be provided. To ensure enough greenery for everyone, participants are also encouraged to bring greenery from their own yards. We look forward to coming together for a time of festive fellowship and creativity!
Wreath-making continues at Coffee Hour; supplies will be available for households to make wreaths to take home.
Advent can feel a little counter-cultural in the rush toward Christmas. Yet, the stories and messages of this season are right on time in many ways. We’ll listen closely to Isaiah and John the Baptist to hear some timely news from centuries ago.
It’s been some time since Calvary offered a Christmas Lessons & Carols (coming up on Sunday evening, December 21). We’ll take a deeper look at the meaning of the anthems and hymns selected for this beautiful event.
