Do you ever feel awkward or confused about how to share the gifts of our faith with friends and associates who are non-believers? This Wednesday, why not come for an evening on Sharing Christian Spirituality in a Post-Secular Culture, led by Canon Ian Mobsby, Community Missioner, in the Spence Room.

And don't miss the upcoming spiritual growth opportunities every Wednesday night in Lent, as well as a special Quiet Day on Saturday, March 9.

All these events take place at the Cathedral. You and your guests are welcome!

If you have any questions, please call the Cathedral Office or send an email.

Copies of Reflections for Lent, a day-by-day guide to prayer and meditation, are still available from the Narthex. The book “offers stimulating and accessible reflections, from respected Christian authors, on a reading selected from the Lectionary”. Donations towards the cost of supplying the book (about $10) gratefully received.

How did you do with this month's Cathedral Climate Action?

Did you eat less meat?

If so, talk with God about maintaining this habit as part of your Lenten discipline and beyond.

If not, talk with God about how you might adopt a flexitarian diet and the virtues of seeing meat as more of a treat because every step counts!

Stay tuned for next month's climate action from Climate Justice Cathedral!

For those who have asked for numbered donation envelopes and have not yet picked them up, this year's boxes are available for immediate collection from the Narthex at the desk by the main door.

Please note that the date for our Lenten Quiet Day has been changed to March 9. With a focus on the passion and crucifixion of Christ, we will explore how vulnerability is at the core of our intimate relationship with God.

For more info, please contact Susanne Prue.
