Message from Deacon Bonnie Matthews |
|
Dear Cathedral Family,
In the Gospel of Matthew 25:35 Jesus says to the disciples:
“ for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me in.” The disciple’s response: Lord when did we see you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink. In verse 40 Jesus replied; Truly I tell you just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
Recalling this gospel passage before the season of Advent, and as we wait for the coming of Christ, we are reminded that we are called to care for and love our neighbors in feeding them. I invite you to join me in helping to feed our neighbors who frequent the Food Pantry at Capital Community College.
An Advent tradition in my family is to receive a treat each day of December until Christmas. This year, rather than receiving a treat, I am using a Reverse Advent Calendar. Each day from December 1st-25th I will remember those who are hungry, use the attached Advent Calendar placing the designated food for the day into a box designated for the food pantry. After Christmas we will have a day to bring our food to Our Cathedral Auditorium prior to delivering it to Capital Community College. I invite you to try on a new tradition as we wait for Christs coming.
Faithfully,
Deacon Bonnie Matthews

A MESSAGE FROM OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Our musicians have been hard at work creating virtual music for our Sunday worship services. Singing and playing together on our music videos, it almost feels like we are back in the Cathedral building!
Please, considering wearing headphones while listening to our CCC music offerings, particularly those involving singers and guest musicians. Their remarkable efforts are much better experienced this way. Thank you!

CHURCH STREET EATS

December 13, 2020
Today's meal we prepared for 50 guests with the help of LaTanya, Angie, and Gloribel. They made the sandwiches and setup the lunch bags for distribution in the dining room and the grab-n-go door. The meal consisted of 2 sandwiches, cookies, orange slices, juice pack, Louis' famous hot chocolate and a serving of Mac &cheese. The mac had either ham or breaded chicken added to it. Everyone who enters the building is required to wear a mask. Those who didn't have one, or needed a fresh one Nancy was able to offer one through a mask donation from Windsor Volunteer Ambulance.

CHURCH BY THE POND

It was another rainy day at Bushnell Park as we gathered on the third Saturday of Advent. Rev. Taylor Albright was present to guide us in prayer. He provided a meditation on the Gospel. We were encouraged to be patient as we long for and wait for God's presence.
Our congregation of 18 shared prayers including those of thanks for our community, the vaccine's upcoming arrival, and our own health and safety.
Trinity Episcopal's parishioners blessed us with food and warmth today. Lunches were provided by John Corcoran and his team. Marge Vanderbilt collected handmade hats and scarves which were given out today.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
