Grades 6-12 | Faith Lens | Third Floor Youth Rooms
Students in grades 6-12 will meet in the EYC Room (301) from 9:15-10:15 a.m. for Sunday Formation, where we will be working with the Faith Lens Curriculum. Our formation hour will be a safe space for middle and high school youth to explore new ideas and interests using thought-provoking, fun activities, reflection, and discussion. We will explore topics of faith as they relate to us today, and current events happening in the world week by week. Youth will engage with Bible study, prayer, and service opportunities to explore their faith.
There are many ways for Calvary’s youth to serve in Sunday morning worship. Youth are encouraged to acolyte, lector, sing in the choir, usher, and/or help in Children’s Chapel. Below is the list of ministry opportunities and volunteer age requirements. Please contact Jeremy Demarest for further information on how to get involved with these ministries.
Acolyte: 7th–12th grades
Lector: 5th–12th grades
Usher: 6th–12th grades
Music: 1st–12th grades
Children’s Chapel Helper: 5th–12th grades
Grades 6-12
Sundays are for EYC, and youth will be invited to different fellowship and service events each Sunday. The time and location will not always be the same, as some events call for different places and times, so keep your eyes on the announcements, EYC GroupMe, and EYC newsletter. If you are not on the GroupMe or newsletter and would like to be, please email Jeremy at jdemarest@calvarymemphis.org. Sunday EYC is a fellowship time for youth to learn more about themselves and their relationship with Christ, find love and safety in their community, and learn how we can make this world a better place together.
