April 28 - May 12 Rev. John Marcantonio: Dreams: Tools for Self-Discovery & Spiritual Growth (Part 1 of a 3-part series)
Sunday Bulletin For those of you worshiping with us via Livestream, below please find the Sunday bulletin.
Cathedral Foundations is an experience for those who are newer to the Cathedral and/or the Episcopal Church to grow in understanding of our faith and practices. The Foundations experience takes place Sundays, March 31 through May 12 at 9:20-10:15 AM. The first three sessions will meet as part of Adult Forum in the Dining Room of Sayre Hall; the remaining sessions in the Goodwin Room (3 rd floor of Sayre Hall). Click here for more details. To register, email Dean Pompa at tpompa@nativitycathedral.org or call the church office at 610-865-0727.
Past and Present Luncheon  For our closing Past and Present luncheon, our name becomes particularly meaningful as the program this month combines Hess's Department Store memorabilia [Past] with a fun fashion show courtesy of our very own Thrift Shop volunteers [Present]. We've been looking forward to this since it burst onto our brain waves around Christmas [We had to take naps after our first discussion.]. So please bring a friend and join us on Friday, April 26th for our "Thrifty Hess-Type Fashion Show" at 11:00. Lunch to follow. And Sarah says, "Yes. There will be strawberry pie." Yum! R.S.V.P.: Sarah Norwine (610) 954-8052 or Pam Bayliss (610) 798-7671.
Easter Egg Hunt   On Sunday, April 28, the Cathedral will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt. Toddlers up through 5th grade are welcome to participate. Children up to age 3 should be accompanied by an adult. Please meet downstairs in the Good Shepherd Chapel by 9:15 AM to receive further instructions. All Sunday School children will report back to the Good Shepherd Chapel after the hunt for additional festivities.
Cathedral Arts – On April 28 at 4 PM , Neil Harmon, recently appointed Professor of Organ at Brigham Young University will perform a recital that will also include his own compositions. On May 19 at 4 PM , Robert McCormick, Organist-Choirmaster at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Philadelphia will play a recital of works by Elgar, Bruhns, Vierne, delightful hymn settings, and will close with an exciting improvisation based on three themes presented to him just before he plays. A $10 suggested donation benefits the Cathedral Arts , and a reception will following each performance. Please come, celebrate with us!
Night Songs Compline  Join us on Wednesday, May 1 at 9 p.m. in the Cathedral for Night Songs Compline, a sung choral night prayer. Candlelight, beauty, rest – a peaceful end to our day.
Nativity Youth Camp Registration forms are now available. Click here for more details.
Nativity Cathedral welcomes Maria Flores-Barahona as one of our part-time housekeepers. Maria was previously on staff, and we are happy to have her at Nativity once again.
ShareCare Faith in Action is in need of 10 volunteer drivers. ShareCare is a program which links volunteers with individuals who are elderly or disabled.  Volunteers are needed to drive these individuals to a doctor appointment, the grocery store or pharmacy or to the bank.  Volunteers have complete control as to how many and which rides they are available for. It can be as little as one ride per month.  If you would like more information please contact ShareCare Faith in Action via email sharecarefia@aol.com or by phone 610-867-2177. If you would like to hear about my personal experience with ShareCare please email Cathy Bailey at cathybaileynnp@gmail.com . Thanks for considering this ministry. We are doing God's work in our community.  
Parishioners in the Hospital  If a family member is hospitalized, please contact either the clergy or leave a message with the parish office (610-865-0727) informing us of who is in the hospital and at which hospital.
