Weekly News Update | October 30, 2022

Stewardship Season


The cathedral has entered an important period of transition and change. Deans Mark and Dan have moved on to the next chapter of their lives, and that, in turn, initiates our move into a different sort of reality, one involving uncertainty and a degree of feat and risk.


But, in fact, we are just where Jesus wants us to be. He calls us in and through our current circumstance to trust his guidance and mercy and to look to the future with resurrectional eyes. As baptized persons we live the Paschal Mystery, that is, the fact that the one who died and rose again will always bring us to a place of light and life. Ponder this: the future of the cathedral, then, will be blessed by the Risen Lord.


During this time when we are considering our pledge to the cathedral, Jesus asks us to trust that your financial investment in the future of the cathedral in the coming year will both be a part of his blessing to you and a faithful support to his mission carried out by all of us in the cathedral community. Your pledge, then, is an act of trust in the Author of our salvation and in his presence and work in and through our parish community.


Please be filled with prayer and generosity as you make your 2023 pledge.

All Saints and All Souls Day

Sunday November 06, 2022


This year we're celebrating All Saints and All Souls Day on Sunday, November 06 at our 8:00 am and 10:00 am services. We are remembering in a special way all those who have left this world and whom we hold dear in our hearts. Bring a picture or memento of a loved one and place it on the High Altar near the Blessed Sacrament. After the service, you may choose to leave your mementos and photos for the month of November, where they will be placed on a special altar of remembrance in the style of Latin American folk culture.

Christian Education with Mother Lyn

"Practicing the Presence"

This Sunday, October 30 after the 10 am service


Meister Eckhart, the great German mystic said “If the only prayer you said in your whole life was thank you, that would suffice.” Come to this week’s Adult Education with Mother Lyn after the 10 am service to explore not only the spiritual benefits of gratitude but also what scholars at UC Berkeley have found are the physical and mental benefits as well.


This four week series will explore a way to practice the Presence that fits into the very busy lives we all lead. (We do not have to join a convent or a monastery to experience God’s Presence on a regular basis.) We will also look at how we can fully offer ourselves to God, what effect gratitude has on our relationship with God, and how we can experience hope in these challenging times.

Compline

Sunday, November 06 at 8 pm


Join the St. John's Cathedral choir for a contemplative service of candlelit prayer sung on the first Sunday of the month. Followed by a time of fellowship and food.

Vestry members are partners with clergy, encouraging the growth of community and the establishment of common ground in the spiritual life of the congregation. Parishioners are always welcome to speak with these individuals on Sunday morning; they assist in making sure our questions, comments, or concerns are heard.
