 The Cathedral is currently looking for volunteers to learn how to manage our sound board and live stream function on Sunday mornings.  Candidates for this ministry are people who work well as part of a team, are familiar with the Sunday liturgy (in order to direct the cameras to the correction location), have reasonable computer skills, and would enjoy acquiring new tech skills.  Specific duties involve connecting to the Cathedral's Youtube link, turning mikes on and off as the service proceeds, and directing the cameras.  Training and checklists for ongoing Sunday use will be provided.  When scheduled, volunteers will need to be at church about 45 minutes before the service to check the equipment and mikes, and stay about 15 minutes after. The benefits of this ministry are many: facilitating access to CCC's Sunday liturgy for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend, the chance to connect with new people, and the opportunity to learn some new tech skills. If you'd like to shadow tech volunteer coordinator Gen over the next couple of weeks to see what's involved before making a commitment, please email or call warden Elizabeth Wensley as soon as possible (eawensley@gmail.com, or 905-807-2596).   

 "We're in a climate crisis, and it's a moment of decision for each of us, each person, and as a Church," says the Bishop. "Please pray, personally and corporately, that we would become instruments of a new creation. This is crucial."

             The Unfolding Gospel by John Bowen
We plan to read together Dr. John Bowen’s book, The Unfolding Gospel, which looks at the future of the church in our secular age. Many are discouraged about that future and Dr.Bowen's book seeks to restore hope through his conviction that the solution is to recover a theological vision--that of Jesus and his Gospel which transforms every aspect of life.

We will meet on Tuesdays 1.30-3pm in the Spence Room from April 25 through May 16.

Please be in touch with Tricia in the Cathedral office asap if you would like to participate. 
Books are available for $20. 

 Would you like to learn more about the arts and history of the Cathedral?

We are offering tours after the 10:30am  Sunday service on April 23 and May 14.

Please join us to learn more about the artistic and architectural treasures to be found in our beautiful worship space.

Everyone Welcome!

 Did the homily stir up anything in you? Are there questions you'd like to explore about the readings?

Do you have a burning desire to have someone awkwardly attempt to explain Greek verb tenses to you based on six seconds of quick research?

Then come join us in the Living Room after the second service each Sunday around 12:15pm!

We continue to talk each week about what strikes us from the homily and the scripture readings and do our best to explore the connections to our lives.

We'd love to have you contribute your thoughts to the conversation.

The Cathedral is looking for counters to assist with counting weekly donations as part of a team. The maximum time requirement for this volunteer position is an hour or so a month. Volunteers count and balance donations from the Sunday and midweek services, Diocesan services, and fundraising activities.  Those interested, or for more information, please contact George Down or the Cathedral office at cathedral.admin@niagaraanglican.ca or in person. 

Thank you to all volunteers!

Current guidelines encourage mask wearing, particularly in crowded, enclosed, and close-contact settings. Effective immediately, Bishop Susan is strengthening guidance to mirror the chief medical officer of health's strong recommendation that masks be worn in indoor settings. By doing so, and applying additional layers of protection, we will not only protect ourselves but our most vulnerable neighbours. In this way, we are also bearing strong witness to God's call to love our neighbours.

   The Prayer Shawl Knitters Group has made available to the parish a wonderful abundance of both prayer shawls and lap blankets. If you happen to know of anyone who might be in need and might benefit from one of these beautiful items, please contact the parish office either in person or at cathedral.admin@niagaraanglican.ca   

 O God, your Son remained with his disciples after his resurrection, teaching them to love all people as neighbors. As his disciples in this age, we offer our prayers on behalf of the universe in which we are privileged to live and our neighbors with whom we share it.
