Good Grief
July 31, 9:30 a.m.
Good Grief is a support group for anyone who is having difficulty with a loss. It may be a pet, a divorce, or death of a loved one...whatever it is you are suffering, feel free to bring yourself and share, if you wish, your hurt with a group willing to listen. Or listen to the stories of others. It all can help. People of any - or no - denomination are welcome. In fact, all are welcome.
Next meeting dates: August 28, September 25

Education for Ministry Open House
August 5, 5:30 -7:30 p.m.
Do you have questions about your faith? Education for Ministry (EfM) was developed by the School of Theology at Sewanee to provide a mechanism to work through those questions. This four-year course of study provides the framework to connect faith to daily life through reading and discussion.
Meeting once a week in small groups led by mentors trained to facilitate the experience, you will begin to think theologically, reflect faithfully, and speak civilly when confronted by beliefs and principles in opposition to your own. And that’s something we can all appreciate in today’s world.
By being an EfM participant, you will learn how to articulate your faith. You will learn how to shape your faith into action. You will become involved in ministries in your community and you will make a difference.
An EfM group will be forming at Calvary in the fall. Learn more about EfM at Calvary's Open House.

Adult Formation
Sunday Forum
The Sunday Forum meets during the non-pandemic program year and is open to all. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend once these programs resume.
During the pandemic, the Rector and Wardens hold a joint Forum on Zoom on the Sunday following the Vestry Meeting.
Common Ground Series
This speaker series addresses current issues and how they impact the world.
Books & Bites
Books & Bites provides a forum for people to discuss a book that they have read together. They meet on the first Sunday of the month at 9 a.m. during the program year.
Although some of the discussion is book specific, questions that address broader themes provide an entry point for participation by those who had not read that month’s selection.
