At the Annual Meeting of the Cathedral on May 27st, 2018, parishioners will be electing five members to the Vestry, each serving a three-year term. The Vestry is responsible for the legal and financial health of the parish; they act as stewards of the church finances and property, approve the budget, provide for maintenance of the buildings, and assure that the operations of the parish conform to legal requirements and best practices. Please contact Ann Dushane at adushane@global.t-bird.edu or Anne Pouret before April 8th at acpouret@gmail.com if you would like to run or nominate a fellow parishioner for Vestry.

On their last day, the Cathedral pilgrims were given a cultural, historical and political tour of Old Town Jaffa and its port by PhD student, Sami Abu Shehadeh. All the pilgrims agreed that this visit has changed their views of the region and the current situation. The biblical context and inclusion of prayer and meditation deeply enriched their spiritual experience and their hope for peaceful resolution in this ancient holy land.

On the penultimate day of their pilgrimage, the Cathedral Pilgrims ascend the Mount of Beatitudes, dip their hands in the Sea of Galilee, and share a last supper in Nazareth.

For Lent, many Christians give up indulgences like tobacco, alcohol, sugar, or swearing.  This year, the Church of England has asked Christians to give up a new item not traditionally on the list: plastic.  Coffee Hour at the Cathedral will be going paper and plastic free. In addition, the Wednesday night Lenten restorative yoga donation-based classes will be offering their donations to the Environmental Defense Fund: https://www.edf.org/. 

It's time for the 2018 Lenten Food Drive. This Lent, instead of giving up your favorite food, give away a food or kitchen item to the Friday Mission Lunch program, which serves a hot seated meal to over 60 guests in need every week at the Cathedral. Click here to see what you can donate.
