Education for Ministry: FALL ENROLLMENT

Education for Ministry:  Fall Enrollment

Have you ever considered enrolling in Education for Ministry (EfM)?  EfM is a unique four-year learning certificate program created by Sewanee |The University of the South which has assisted more that 120,000 participants in discovering and developing their call to service in the Christian tradition.

Calvary has enjoyed strong participation in this program over many years and like other ministries it has evolved with the times.  Since the pandemic, EfM adapted to online programming which for many people is not just a workable path but a preferred way to study and be in community. 

If you would be interested in joining an online EfM Community on Monday evenings starting in the Fall, please contact Wendy Lomicka.  Wendy, along with Gaines Campbell will be co-mentoring in the 2023-2024 cycle that will begin in September and run through May. 

Gaines is a long-standing EfM Mentor and an EfM mentor trainer. Wendy is a recent EfM graduate who completed her mentor training in 2022.

CALVARY YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY

On Wednesday, May 24, our last Holy Happy Hour of the program year, we have a change of plans! We will meet at Lorelei (124 S. Highland Ave., 15206) at 5:45 pm. Afterwards, we will walk across the street to East Liberty Presbyterian Church (ELPC) for their Taizé Prayer Service at 7 p.m.

The Taizé Prayer Service at ELPC is based on the style of worship developed at the Taizé community, an ecumenical Christian monastic fraternity in France. The service at ELPC lasts about an hour and consists of chants from Taizé, spoken prayers, other music, and a time of silence. 

If you are in your 20s or 30s, please join us! You are welcome to attend just the Taizé service with us or happy hour or both, as your schedule and interest allow. 

If you would like to be added to the Young Adult Ministry email list, please contact the Rev. Cameron Soulis at csoulis@calvarypgh.org or 412.661.0120 ext. 123.
