Crossing House Church During August
From now through September 7, The Crossing will be holding their Thursday worship at house churches. This Thursday's worship will be at Lamplighter Brewing Co., 284 Broadway in Cambridge.
Come and join The Crossing for worship and fellowship.
Sunday Morning Suggestion Box
The
Sunday Morning Council members are your representatives in making sure the needs of the Sunday Morning congregation are met in hospitality, welcome, prayers for each other's concerns, pastoral care, and deepening our faith and understanding. Your suggestions are wanted and needed as we make plans for the fall. Write your ideas and place them in the suggestion box
at the back of the church on Sundays or speak to (or email) Susan Butler ([email protected])or another Council member: Mark Felt, Mary Hancock, Jane Lee, Marlene Mugge, Jeffrey Seamans, Ambrose Spencer, Louis Tsien, James Van Looy, Brandy Weddington.
Spanish Service Wednesdays at 12
We're pleased to announce that beginning on Wednesday, June 28, there will be Holy Eucharist in Spanish at 12:00 noon every Wednesday. The Rev. Edgar Gutierrez-Duarte and Deacon Ema Rosero-Nordalm will preside.
Morning Prayer Thursdays at 8:30 a.m.
In a new offering, Morning Prayer will be read every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. in St. John's Chapel. Join us on your way to work.
Office Summer Hours
The Cathedral and Diocesan Offices will be closed on Fridays (the Muslim Friday Prayers will take place as usual in the church), through Labor Day.
Concerts on the Cathedral Steps Mondays and Thursdays, 12-2 pm
Come by on Mondays and Thursdays between 12 and 2 and enjoy concerts on the Cathedral steps presented by the downtown Boston Improvement District. The concerts are free, the entertainers are great, and it's a wonderful way to enjoy your lunch or just take a break.
New Signage in Front of the Cathedral!
Our new electronic signage is up and running, and we are in the process of learning how to use it. Come by and check it out, including our great video filmed by Celine Voyard and edited by Rebecca Kreshak for the kiosk!
Please keep your pledge payments up to date
We have received pledges from 21 households/individuals totaling almost 2,600 hours of service to our community, almost
6
,000
hours of prayer, and over $50,000. Please stay up to date with your pledges payments so that we can stay on target with our budgeting. If you need a pledge card you can contact the Cathedral office or pick one up on Sunday in church.

The Pilgrim
Write a Book
by Dylan Kane Rigter
Reduced to the essentials is what I remain
I think that's the right word?
Shit remains literal, and it often does
This time is no different form the last
Love and something of the contrary
It's as trong word
Life Death Right and Wrong
I often find myself walking in circles
between the same thin line
I still can't seem to find her
Perhaps I should find a job
It seems I can't finish one thought
without starting another
Buddy tells me I should write a book
He's such an odd soul
We could all learn a thing or two from him...
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Black Seed Writers Group. Sign up for an annual print subscription for $25 by designating your gift to the Monday Lunch Program on our giving page (make sure you specify that your gift is for a Pilgrim Subscription), or send a check to the Cathedral Offices with "Pilgrim Subscription" in the memo line.

This Sunday
August 13, 2017
During the summer we will have a reduced number of servers at the altar: vergers, sub-deacons and acolytes will be given a break from their duties during this time.
Please speak to Deacon Cynthia Pape if you are interested in serving at the altar during our services, or serving with the
Altar Guild
to assist with preparation and cleaning up after services. Churches rely on their members to help make our services possible, so please consider committing to help out.

Coming Up and Reminders
The 8:00 Sunday Eucharist is on hiatus until further notice.
Two of the Cathedral's and St. John's long-time and faithful friends,
