Ukraine humanitarian crisis response

Dear People of God,

As the situation worsens in Ukraine, I urge you to both pray and to give. Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) is now on the ground in surrounding countries and, partnering with ACT Alliance and Anglican churches in Europe. ERD will be able to get aid to Ukrainian refugees fleeing their homes.

Click the button below to donate today. Your gift will help provide cash, blankets, hygiene supplies, and other needed assistance to refugees from Ukraine. You'll be pleased to know that ERD is rated an A charity by Charity Watch, the highest rating in how much money goes to help those targeted versus administrative costs and in the organization's reporting transparency.

You can also donate to the Cathedral and make a specific request for the donation to go to ERD. We will send it along. Both kinds of donations are tax-deductible.

Let us show our support for the people of Ukraine not only with our lips but by our actions and in our lives.

May God bless us all.

In Christ’s love,

Kate+

Care for Creation with Plastic Fast

The season of Lent is quickly approaching. It’s time to re-up our commitment to caring for Creation through the discipline of a Plastic Fast. What is this? The practice of a Plastic Fast is using the Lenten season to very intentionally think about our daily use of one-time plastics. And then, to take action to change our daily behavior!

This daily discipline is not easily done at a time when one-time-use plastics are proliferating everywhere we look! Some plastics are easy to avoid, like balloons, which are disastrous for the environment and for marine wildlife. We can simply refuse to ever purchase balloons. Other items, like plastic food packaging at the grocery store, are difficult or impossible to avoid. It takes intention, commitment, and creativity to minimize our use of plastics. So, this year we are asking for YOUR creative thoughts and ideas so we can share them to help each other be good stewards of Creation.

Lay Weeder Work Day - March 26

The St. Johns Cathedral “Lay Weeders,” the group that keeps the Cathedral grounds well-groomed and blooming, is having its spring workday Saturday, March 26, from 8 - 11 a.m. One task this year is to prepare our shrubbery to enable the pest control company (that will be fumigating the Cathedral for termites) to be able to get to the windows and doors that will need to be taped shut.

Shrubs below windows must be trimmed back so workers can access those work areas. Anyone interested in helping with this task and/or other landscaping tasks should email Julia Stark at juliastark@bellsouth.net or phone 904-563-0349. A lunch will be provided.

Join us March 30 for Art & Scripture via Zoom

God is the creator of heaven and earth . . . everything we see around us. Our Lord is the greatest artist.

God also created people in His image and likeness, and He has given people the inspiration to create wonderful works of art. God is the source of creativity, and we can look to the Bible to gain a better interpretation of it.

Attend the Art@Noon Salon via Zoom on Wednesday, March 30 at 12 p.m. and explore paintings, sculpture and other visual media that correlate with Bible verses. Join the discussion

See how Scripture and Art complement each other. RSVP HERE
