When the Lenten Preaching Series and Waffle Shop begins, hundreds of visitors will start pouring into Calvary’s buildings. The success of these annual “Gifts to the City” depends on the efforts of our parish. Please get involved in the ministry of Lent and sign up to help with these volunteer opportunities:
Everyone can do this! Invite a friend to come to the Lenten PreachingSeries and Waffle Shop with you. Most people first come to the Lenten Series or Waffle Shop because someone invited them to go with them. If your friends’ time is limited, remind them that to-go Waffle Shop orders may be placed in the atrium on the first floor so that they can enjoy both the Lenten speakers and Waffle Shop.
Volunteer to be a greeter and assist in welcoming visitors and guiding them through the church’s buildings. You will direct visitors to the church and then to the Waffle Shop after the service. Arrive at 10:30 a.m., plan to stay through the service, and direct visitors afterward. Sign up now.
Spend one-on-one time with a speaker by offering to pick him or her up at the airport and escort him/her to the hotel. Contact Ray Hatton, 901-454-1131.
Ushers stand at the doors before the service and hand out bulletins. They also count the number of people who attend the service and help with the collection afterward. If you are planning to attend a speaker, signing up online is an easy way to participate in the ministry of the Series. Sign up now.
There are many ways to help in the Waffle Shop: waiters and servers, drinks, to-go orders, cashiers, waffle makers, and sausage/hash servers. Sign up now.
