The Weekly Update

Lenten Book Study with the Rev. Dr. Maggi Dawn

Wednesday, March 18

12.00 p.m.

St. John's Cathedral invites all to share in a weekly online noontime Lenten series with the Rev. Dr. Maggi Dawn offering reflections on her book, “Giving It Up,” which offers daily Bible readings from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day.

Dawn is canon theologian for the Diocese of Rhode Island, a former assistant dean at Yale Divinity School, and wife of the Very Rev. Andrew Tremlett, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. She is also an indie rock musician and songwriter.

Each week Dawn will read a story, and participants will share thoughts and learnings, ponder a related question, and close in guided prayer or song. The biblical stories will be familiar, but how they relate to our lives will be fresh.

Dawn writes: "One of my favorite ways of going deeper in faith is to re-read the stories of scripture, imagining myself right inside the story. I want to get beyond the dry theory to something that connects to real life; and I believe that before we ever get to principles and lessons and calls to action, we need a deep and personal connection to God. It is my pleasure to join you this Lent for a weekly online meeting, looking further into how to deepen that connection with God. Lent is always associated with “wilderness” — but this is an invitation to a journey through Lent that does not feel like a dry, dusty punishment, but instead like a deep dive into a God who longs to feed our souls. I hope you will join me as we pray, read, and talk together."

Dawn’s book is available on Amazon electronically via Kindle or in print, though shipping may take 7-10 days. The zoom link will be available on the St. John’s website at: www.stjohnsla.org. The group will meet on Wednesdays, beginning on Feb. 25 at noon for one hour.

Spring Equinox: Sound and Voice Celebration

Helane Marie Anderson and other artists invite the public to a one-of-a-kind live sound bath performance at the cathedral. The audience will be immersed in sound vibrations and layered voices coming together in real time. More information and tickets may be found on the group's eventbrite page.

Children, Youth and Family

Children, Youth, and Family (CYF) Ministry will be hosting coffee hour in partnership with Martha Ree and Susan Joy Edwards to celebrate Women's History Month. CYF is looking for donations to help them expand their programming. If you have any unused musical instruments at home, please reach out to Luci Ibarra or the Rev. Mel Soriano to coordinate.

Add your name to the Altar Quilt

Twenty-eight more panels needed

The original altar quilt, created in 2010, draws on two African American quilting traditions—appliqué and embroidery—to tell the story of diversity and community at St. John’s. Each panel represents a member’s story through four elements: place of birth, year of affiliation, name, and involvement in parish life. You are invited to add your name to this shared history. Assistance will be available at the welcome table on Sunday where you may choose precut colors and follow simple instructions. If you have moved and would like to add your name, contact the church office for information. Download Your Order Form Here
