Spring is in the Air! – And a wonderful program awaits you during coffee hour today: “Building Bridges”, presented by Danny Thomas, Executive Director of The Peace Center. Excerpted from The Peace Center’s workshop, “Talking Across a Divide”, Building Bridges will explore the basics of and differences between communication and dialogue. They are not always the same! Our discussions will address the need for helpful conversations in these challenging times. Join us today and next Sunday, March 30 after the 10am Mass, in Synod Hall (guests welcome.) Enjoy coffee, tea, cold drinks and healthy snacks. This program started last Sunday – if you couldn’t make it then, come join in this week. You’ll be glad you did!

 

Stretto Bingo Night! – Saturday, March 29 from 6 – 7:30 pm in Synod Hall – come out and win some prizes while supporting Stretto’s 2025 United Kingdom Tour and help to bring everyone in their group abroad for this cross-cultural experience!

Each Thursday in Lent through April 10th, we will observe the Stations of the Cross at 8:00 pm via Zoom (in place of our usual Rosary Devotions.) If you would like to participate, call the office for the link.

 

Our 2025 Lenten Series – What are the collects of the Church? How can these beautiful prayers help to strengthen our faith by reminding us of God’s goodness, mercy, and love? Join us on Wednesday evenings in Lent as we explore these deep truths, how they connect to Scripture, and how we can inwardly digest them as food for our Lenten journey. We’ll meet via Zoom from 7 – 8:30 PM for five consecutive Wednesday evenings (March 12th – April 9th). There is nothing to purchase, you’ll just want to have a Bible for reference. If you need the Zoom link, please contact the Cathedral office.

 

It’s time to prepare for our Easter egg hunt! – On Sunday, April 20th we will host our annual East egg hunt on the grounds of the Cathedral (weather permitting). Can you contribute to the egg hunt? We don’t actually need any more eggs – what we DO need are egg fillers: candy, coins and very small toys and prizes that can fit inside. Please bring your contributions to the Cathedral office. Thanks!
