This summer offers us an opportunity to worship in person in the main Sanctuary. Guidelines are still in place for our safety with regard to how many people can sit in the space. There will still be no singing indoors. But, we will have music! Our favorite pianist, Steve Sussman, will be here to play prelude music, an Offertory selection and a postlude. |

This is your chance to support a Sunday worship service. Sponsor a week in memory of a loved one. Give yourself a birthday gift of music. Or an anniversary present. Honor someone. It is a delightful and meaningful way to commemorate a special occasion. Give the gift of music!
Sign up for the week you'd like to hear Steve's fabulous musical selections. The cost of a week is $100, payments can be mailed or made online (select fund: Summer Music). Call or email the office with questions. Thank you for your support.

By God’s grace, our time in the wilderness may be coming to an end!
Your Vestry, Regathering Team, and Worship and Arts Team have approved an experimental time of in person, outdoor worship starting on May 9, Mother’s Day. We have also initiated the Diocesan process necessary to begin in person, indoor worship starting June 13. The overarching schedule is given here.
Thank you for your patience, as we seek to regather safely.

When we reopen, due to Covid-19 regulations, bulletins cannot be reused and prayer books cannot be in the pews. In efforts to be green, we hope to limit bulletin printing for now. So, for the 8:30 Morning Prayer service, we encourage you to bring your own prayer book. If you don't have a prayer book, we'd love to loan you one for as long as you need. Email or call us to coordinate a pickup. |

The food is served the next day to the Manna Community of unhoused individuals based at the Cathedral for a lunch meal, and each guest is given a bag lunch to take home with them for their evening meal. |
