Newcomers Brunch - you are invited!
Following the 10:30 service, Sunday July 24
In the Guild Room
 Are you new to the Cathedral -- or at least still "feel" new? Come learn about the wealth of programs and the sense of community -- and how you can get connected at St. Paul's. A light brunch will be served. For information contact Canon Chris Harris at harrisc@stpaulcathedral.org
Evensong
5:00 pm, Sunday, July 24
Come experience what has been called one of "the jewels of the Anglican Church." Evensong is a short, restful, and meditative service-a fitting end to a busy week as well as a quiet preparation for the week to come. We welcome with gratitude the Chancel Singers of First United Methodist Church, Chula Vista, with Juan Carlos Acosta, Director, as this evening's guest choir.

HELP WELCOME PEOPLE TO ST. PAUL'S! Coming to a big Cathedral for the first time can be an intimidating prospect. That's why the Greeters Ministry is so important. Greeters staff the welcome table and welcome newcomers to St. Paul's and encourage them to return. This simple commitment of time is just once every 5-6 weeks for 20 minutes, and it makes a huge difference in the life of our community. If interested, then sign up at the Welcome Table after church or email Pat Kreder at patkreder@cox.net See if this might be a good fit for you by joining us to learn more at an open greeters orientation meeting on August 14 at noon in the Guild Room following the 10:30 service.
BOYS AND GIRLS CHOIR CAMPS SIGN-UPS for sessions Aug 8-12 (girls) and Aug 15-19 (boys). This day camp is open to all ages 7 and up. The week for each includes basic music training, voice coaching, and basic musicianship along with other activities and field trips. Info: Martin Green greenm@stpaulcathedral.org or 619.298.7261 x 318. CHILDREN, YOUTH, & FAMILY: CAMP SPIRIT - August 15-19Take advantage of Camp Spirit as a fun option for your youth and children this summer. The theme is Back to Nature and we will be doing things focused on nature including nature walks, a service project, eating at a vegan restaurant, and a visit to the Natural History Museum. The camp is 9 am-3 pm each day and costs $75 plus some pocket money for our outings. For questions or to register, contact Christine D'Amico at damicoc@stpaulcathedral.org WHEELCHAIR NEEDED - Do you have a collapsible wheelchair you could donate to St. Paul's? On occasions we need one -- and right away -- so if you have one that's not being used, we'd be grateful! Call Canon Brooks Mason at 619-298-7261 x 325. WHAT IS THE CATHEDRAL'S "MASTER PLAN"? In short, it's our plan for redeveloping our campus by developing our adjacent property (the empty lot on Nutmeg St.) and our parking lot and apartments next door on Olive Street. When complete, the project will provide:
- 20,000 sq. ft. in much-needed program and office space
- A redeveloped, expanded campus
- An endowment for mission and ministry
- 85 underground parking spaces
- Residential and retail space including 11 units of affordable housing
- "Green" development and neighborhood beautification
WHAT DO WE NEED? The plan is 100% self-financed (i.e., it is not another capital campaign) and we are not seeking donations. What we seek is your moral support, e.g., letter-writing and attending meetings as the project works its way through the city's planning and approval process. Click here for more pictures and information and stay tuned for updates and opportunities to learn more. To add your name to the list of supporters, email us at Talk@StPaulsForTheFuture.org or call 619-330-2202. |
