Dear Friends,
This time in Florida is testing our endurance for sure and we must do all that we can to be bearers of what Jesus consistently called The Good News, which is that NOTHING can separate us from the love of God in Christ and that we are blessed to be part of this incredible community.
And I have another piece of wonderful news! One of the positive results of this pandemic is that it has forced us to be creative and to make rapid advances in technology in order to reach one another. I have come to realize that our Cathedral needs to be on your iPhone! After all, your doctor has an app, your banker has an app, your exercise, diet, music and books have apps, so why not God?
It is my joy to announce that this fall, we will launch a St. John's Cathedral App. You will be able to hear morning devotions, listen to music and sermons, watch services and see what is going on here at the Cathedral all on your phone.
I want to thank Nancy Purcell and her communications team for working hard to make this app possible. Get ready! St. John's Cathedral will be on your iPhone!
With love and blessings,
Kate+

Help people impacted by earthquake in Haiti |
|
All funds raised by the sale of Native Fresh greens on Sundays will now be donated to the Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD) Fund for Haiti. Here are other ways to help and more information about what ERD is doing in Haiti right now.
The scene in Haiti right now is devastating . . . After a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck last Saturday morning, at least 5,700 people have been injured, 30,000 people lost their houses, hospitals and churches have been reduced to rubble and at least 1,900 people are dead. That death toll continues to climb.
It is also possible to give to St. John's Cathedral and designate Haiti Relief in the memo. Your check will be sent to ERD to help those in Haiti.
