THE COLLECT
Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Start 2020 in the beginning-with the Good Book Club and the Gospel of John! Each day, from Epiphany on January 6 through Mardi Gras Day, February 25, we will read a passage from this compelling gospel, inspired by "the disciple whom Jesus loved."  We'll encounter the favorite verse of football fans and inspirational sign makers with John 3:16, and we'll also hear stories only heard in John: Jesus turns water into wine at the wedding of Cana, encounters the woman at the well, and raises Lazarus from the dead.  The spiritual Gospel of John uses beautiful poetry: Jesus as the bread of life and as the vine. And it's in John that we hear the great I AM statements.

Forward Movement and partner organizations across the Episcopal Church-and this year, the Anglican Church in Canada-have prepared an array of resources to help you on the journey. The first step is easy: Open your Bible and start reading. A Journey with John books are available on the Ministry Table for $10. To sign up for Good Book Club resources go to:  https://www.goodbookclub.org/

S tewardship  2020
One of the Christ Church Cathedral Goals for 2022 states that, "In the past year, 100% of the membership of Christ Church Cathedral has made a pledge towards the annual budget."  For 2020 we have 163 pledging families-thank you.  We are now asking the 151 families who do not currently pledge to please make a pledge.  A pledge of $25 per month, for an annual pledge of $300, could be a place to begin this Christian discipline.
Eighty nine percent of our budget is made possible by annual pledges. Your new pledges would be used to make possible all our worship services, outreach, ministry to families, children and youth, Bible studies, classes, and pastoral care.  To make your pledge, please contact Brenda Stanton at 251-438-1822 or bstanton@christchurchcathedralmobile.org, or return a pledge card found on the ministry table.
