Cathedral OasisAn Open Time for Peace and Reflection - Sundays through August 12noon-1:30pm Our doors are open every Sunday through August for anyone to drop in for peace and reflection in the middle of our busy city. Feel free to light a candle, say a prayer, or just sit quietly in this beautiful space. Maybe you have never been in the Cathedral and just want to have a look around? Maybe you would just like to listen to some quiet, peaceful music? Whoever you are, whatever brings you to our doors, you are very welcome. In case you have any questions while you are visiting, there is someone on hand from our community. |
Birds Of The Cathedral Exhibit
Have you ever wondered why there are images of doves, eagles, pelicans, swallows and peacocks in the windows and wooden and stone carvings of the Cathedral? If you want to know, visit the exhibit of photos in the north-west corner of the cathedral from August 18 to September 8. You can find answers, and also see photos of some of the images in the Cathedral and of those species in nature. The exhibit has been compiled by Sandy Darling, a member of the congregation, a birder and author of the Visual Guide to Christ’s Church Cathedral (on sale for $10.00). |

From the Generosity Team
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews13:2 We love to show hospitality to strangers here at the Cathedral. As the mid-September SuperCrawl approaches, we’re gearing up to welcome huge numbers of visitors. Some of our guests are curious. Many are shy about coming in. Others are simply tired or overwhelmed, and blessed to sit in peace in this beautiful sacred space. Our friendly greeters welcome them all, in the spirit of Paul's message to the Hebrews. A thought for the month of August: it is YOUR generosity that keeps our doors open, our lights on, and our wonderful ministry team paid. When you give generously, thereby you-yes, YOU-have entertained angels unawares! |
