Art CrawlArt Crawl is a wonderful way to engage with the community and to celebrate our beautiful Cathedral! Join us in the community and in the Cathedral every 2nd Friday of the month. The next date is June 14. We offer the beauty of our space to those who wish to take a moment of reflection or prayer. We also provide guided tours and often there are musical performances and art installations. Anyone interested in volunteering as a greeter or guide is welcome to speak to John Watts after the 10:30 Service or send him an email.

From the Generosity TeamWhat are your summer plans? Will you be working all summer, or have you been able to book time off work for a break? If you have time off, will you be travelling or remaining home for a “stay-cation”. Summer is a great season! Whether you spend time on your favourite city patio, relax at the cottage, or travel by car or plane … it can be a time of relaxation and rejuvenation. It is wonderful to be able to take a break from the regular workday grind and enjoy something different. While our routines tend to change over the summer, ministry continues at Christ’s Church Cathedral. Sunday services, Cathedral Café, pastoral care, and other events continue even though many parishioners are on vacation. Please help us avoid the “summer dip” in giving that many churches experience in July and August. While we may go on holiday, our parish does not! Please continue to your generous giving over the warmer months of the year. Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG) is a great way to make sure our gifts to the church continue all year long. Forms are available on the literature rack at the back of the church if you would like to set up your giving through this effective method. |

June's Climate ActionIt’s time to SPEAK OUT about the CLIMATE CRISIS! A large majority of Canadians are worried about climate change and believe it is the reason for an increase in extreme weather, a new national poll suggests. But the Leger poll says only a small fraction of people listed climate change as the top issue facing Canada today! And only 40 per cent said they would make some changes to their behaviours "even if this comes with a certain financial cost." Canada needs many more people talking about the climate crisis but they often say: * too busy If you agree it’s serious but you’re reluctant to talk about climate effects such as wildfires, fossil fuels, or greenhouse gases, here’s how you can get past these roadblocks. Recall a time when you took a risk on a matter of principle. How did you feel before, during, and after the risk? What conditions made your risk-taking possible? Let’s speak up! Talk with friends, family, and colleagues. Start conversations with letters, emails, phone calls, and petitions to our community leaders, politicians, corporations. It need not be complicated. You simply need to say, “I’m really concerned about the climate crisis.” Then ask, “What can you/we/I be doing about it?” No one can do it alone but we can do it together. |
