Summer Camp Registration Open
|
Christ Church Cathedral offers summer camps for children that bring a new depth to other offerings in the region. During the choir camp,
children sing, play instruments, create art, play games, enjoy good meals and explore Christian faith. The art camp explores the ways art and the sacred
meet through the creation of that art. Each week-long camp is led by professional musicians and artists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge, inspiration and spirituality with young people. And each is built upon the same principles: to use the sacred space of the cathedral to nurture both the faith and the artistic development of children.
These vibrant summer programs provide children from the cathedral congregation, the diocesan parishes and the community beyond an opportunity to come and enjoy an experience that intentionally and openly encourages them to awaken to their own inner
spirituality, no matter what their beliefs. Choir Camp: Monday through Friday, July 18 - 22, 2016, and Art Camp:
Monday through Friday, July 25-29,
2016. For 2016 Fees, Schedule and Registration, go here.

Aging with Spirit:
Spiritual Nourishment for Women
|
June 29
We navigate so many transitions in our lifetime-small ones and large, simple and complex, blessings and challenges. How do we continue to nourish ourselves spiritually as we change and grow over time? Join Liz Tassone and Joyce Keeshin, spiritual directors at the Cathedral Center for Spirituality, for an afternoon of
reflection and reimagining our spiritual
journeys. We'll begin by looking at our lives as they are today, recognize the wisdom we've been given, and consider any ways of doing and being
that no longer seem to "fit". With this
perspective, we'll explore possibilities
and resources for meaningful and timely spiritual nourishment. A light lunch will be provided. RSVP required. $10 donation suggested. Please call
the church office at 513-621-1817 to
register or email Canon Sherilyn Pearce. There will also be a sign-up sheet at the front desk for your convenience. Join us for this offering on Wednesday, June 29, from 12- 3:00 pm.
