Parish Mission Action Plan 2.0 Launched
Building on the success of the initial process, MAP 2.0 is now available for parishes ready to take their dreams for ministry to the next level. The MAP 2.0 is a shorter process with only one gathering and is designed to focus on listening to the Holy Spirit and our neighbours while engaging the missional imagination. The new MAP 2.0 guide builds on what has already been discerned and undertaken through an initial Mission Action Plan and invites us, as a parish, to dream bigger about God’s mission. Please be in touch with Emily Hill with any questions or to discuss how to plan and lead the MAP 2.0 process.

Cathedral Café Donations Welcome
In July we would like all to keep Cathedral Café in your prayers and help support with home baking and treats. A good option is to pick up a big box of granola bars at COSTCO while you are there. There is a blue box of 64 that they buy for the Cafe ( less than $15). You are also encouraged to pick up frozen juices, orange juice, punches – not lemonade – so that there is more choice for the guests in the hot summer. Your support will be much appreciated.With thanks from The Generosity Team.

From the Generosity Team
What 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 ActionFrom Climate Justice Cathedral It’s time to SPEAK OUT about the CLIMATE CRISIS! June’s Climate Action Reflection During the month of June, we’ve been urging you to SPEAK OUT about the CLIMATE CRISIS! But although the majority of Canadians agree that the issues are real, they often say or think: * too busy Were you able to talk about the CLIMATE CRISIS during June with a with a family member, a friend, or a colleague at work? Did you write a letter, an email, or call a politician, a corporation, or a community leader? We understand that it’s difficult to get past the roadblocks listed above. And it’s easy to put it off until “tomorrow”. But it’s not complicated or difficult to do! So, Make the call or write the letter. After you identify yourself, you can simply say or write: “I’m really concerned about the climate crisis. “What can you, we, and I be doing about it?” You can ask them about the wildfires, the rising sea levels, the flooding And then wait (for as long as it takes) for them to respond. Let them do the talking! When the conversation is over, be sure to thank them for their time. Remember, no one can do it all alone but we can do it together!
