 What's Going On?
Creation Care Sunday July 30
Fifth Sundays have been designated times for creative liturgy at the Cathedral, and the first of these will be Creation Care Sunday on July 30 at the 10 am service. The Cathedral Schola will return to help us celebrate our planet and our care for the earth.
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.
Visitor Open Hours this Summer
The church will be open for visitors this summer the following hours:
Sunday - 8 am-5 pm
Our summer Sunday services will continue to be Holy Eucharist at 10 am and Eucharist in Chinese at 12:30 pm, both in the sanctuary.
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.
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.
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!
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

The Pilgrim
Time to Rise
by Michael Damario
We are the ones
who keep silent
until we explode.
Now we feel lost
on this road.
Lost and cold.
Now we feel bold.
Let's protest his ways,
and not fade away,
after that day.
Turning our clocks back,
trying to relax.
This is what
we're up against -
the president is a fake.
We are the ones
who keep silent
until we explode.
So yell and chant.
Let them call it a rant.
They just don't get it.
Like talking to a wall?
Yeah, but the wall will fall.
The Pilgrim Journal is written by our homeless friends of the Black Seed Writers Group.

This Sunday
July 30, 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.
