 Are you interested in talking more about the homily?

Do you have questions about the scripture readings? Are you just happy to sit around and talk with thoughtful people?

Would you be willing to meet after the second service around 12:15?

Can you find your way to the Spence Room (formerly the Living Room)? Have you noticed something strange about this announcement? Are you asking why it's entirely made up of questions?

Can you come to Digging Deeper and explain why to me, too?   

The Cathedral Cafe has a need for some new or gently used linens for those in need - in particular there is a need for a double flat sheet, a double or queen comforter and twin fitted sheets.
