A NOTE FROM THE CLIMATE JUSTICE CATHEDRAL COMMITTEEWhen we recite the “Land Acknowledgement” at the beginning of our Eucharist each Sunday, it’s like saying Grace before a meal. Those who first occupied these Lands regarded them as the Source of their well being: for food, health and medicine to be shared equally; not as a Resource to be exploited by a few. May the wholesomeness that continues to reside in these Lands, which we now occupy, give rise to the wholeness of the Spirit within us.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR GENEROSITY TEAMTAP DEVICE In an effort to provide an easy and efficient way for visitors to give to the life of our community, the Generosity Team has installed a “Tap” device at the back of the church near the baptismal font. Matthew Green worked with the team to design a banner to draw visitors attention to this option. The banner depicts snap shots of our collective life together. Each “tap” provides a $5.00 donation to the Cathedral, minus an administrative fee of approximately 5%. During Art Crawls and other open Cathedral events, we will also continue to provide donation boxes strategically placed throughout the Cathedral if visitors wish to donate by way of cash. While we anticipate that Tap will be used primarily during open Cathedral events, it is available at all times for anyone who is visiting us, including during any of our service times.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTAt our last community engagement meeting, we acknowledged our ministries in connecting with our local community. We felt one way in which we could further support them is through prayer. We’d invite your submissions for prayer to create a new prayer list including businesses, organizations, and groups for which you would like to pray. Please send all submissions to Sue Crowe Connolly at croweconnolly@gmail.com |
