The Weekly Update

Black History Month at St. John's Cathedral

Written by Cn. Earl Mounger

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

The time has once again come for our annual celebration of Black History Month. It seems like only a week ago that I penned an article about our plans for February last year.

This year’s theme is “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” as set forth by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. The observance was originally founded by Carter G. Woodson, the “father of Black History.” Woodson’s mission was to share and preserve the particular contributions of Black culture. In 1926 he launched the first Negro History Week, and fifty years later President Gerald Ford officially expanded it to a month in 1976. Read more.

Gardening Ministry Meets

Love fresh air, working with your hands, and helping things grow? Our Gardening Ministry is a great way to serve together while caring for God’s creation. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just curious, all are welcome. Come dig in, get your hands dirty, and help cultivate beauty, community, and nourishment right here on our cathedral grounds.

Children, Youth, and Family Meeting

Sunday, February 8

following 10.00 a.m. Eucharist

Families will gather in the parish office for a conversation about children, youth, and family life at St. John's Cathedral. Participants will focus on actively listening to one another. Parents, clergy, and other parishioners will share their hopes, experiences, and needs as we reflect on how we support community. This gathering will help shape future, more focused conversations.
