How to Use Your Advent Wreath at Home

Light the first purple candle on the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 28. This candle represents the hope that people felt before the birth of Jesus, and you can read Isaiah 64:1–9 to accompany your lighting.

You can also sing hymns like "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." You can leave the candle burning until you’ve read a piece of scripture or sung a hymn with your family.

One of our deacons, Linda Rosengren, has been working hard on our new monthly 9 a.m. worship for families and children which will begin December 5th, with a Saint Nicholas Day celebration. This is a new offering, designed by The Family Ministry Team. Each service will be followed by an activity in Taliaferro Hall.

Be on the lookout for our Brown Bag Pageant on December 19 at 9 a.m. More details coming soon. We look forward to worshiping with you all soon!

We are so grateful for our faithful friends who have pledged during this year’s 2022 Stewardship Campaign. We have been gathering with different ministries, mainly within the walls of our Cathedral campus, and have enjoyed witnessing the good works each group has to offer. We are halfway there when it comes to the 2022 Pledge Campaign! Your generous pledge helps us with next year’s budget and also enables us to offer meaningful, in-person and virtual programs and services for our Cathedral community and beyond. Won’t you please send in your pledge? Here’s how:

St. John's Cathedral offers many ways to get involved. Take a class. Join a Bible study or book discussion. See the complete list of offerings here.
