YAM: Young Adult Ministries
The YAMs are a community of seekers within Calvary Episcopal Church, who are 20-35 years of age, without children. The YAMs strive to have inquiring and discerning hearts. We believe in questions more than answers, pilgrimage as a spiritual practice and engagement as a way of life. Come worship with us or participate in a pub theology discussion!
Sunday
Pub Theology and Outings: Once a month, after church on Sunday, the YAMs
get together for a Pub Theology discussion (usually) at Westy's on Main
St., OR an outing.
Here the group is studying The Spiritual History of Brewing in the British Isles with the Rev. George Yandell. From serious to lighthearted, the group tackles the topics.
Retreats, Canoe Trips and Parties: We make time for special events and parties several times a year, like the Lenten retreat, the August canoe trip on the Spring River and the Christmas Party.
Community
Service: 
The
YAMs participate in a variety of outreach projects from mission trips
to Mississippi or Honduras, to tutoring in the Memphis City Schools,
to ministry with the homeless. Here a couple of the young adults
are helping to prepare soup to sell on Soup Sunday to raise money
for hunger ministries throughout Memphis. The YAMs also sponsor
the a recycling ministry for Calvary Church, which eventually may
serve some of the apartment dwellers in downtown Memphis.
