We Grow

Fellowship in Faith and Cathedral Youth
Our Fellowship in Faith theme this fall is Creation Care, and most Sundays will find us outdoors for a game or low ropes challenge!
Cathedral Youth: On the first Sunday of the month, 1-3pm, 6th-12th graders complete a service project reflecting the values of our faith. Lunch is served. Friends are welcome! Upcoming dates: 11/5, 12/2, 2/4, 3/3, 4/7, 5/5.
Question of the Month: With enough interest, we'll expand our youth program to include a Sunday morning opportunity for 6th-12th graders to explore theological and ethical topics of their choosing. If you are interested, email Mo. Kate!
Confirmation Class: The Cathedral invites 8th-12th graders from around the diocese are to join our Confirmation program. From September-May, Confirmands commit to leadership roles in worship, community service and education - we'll teach you all you need to know!
Service Sunday: On the third Sunday of the month, during Fellowship in Faith, parents may join children in a service project at the Mercer School. Fall Dates: 10/15, 11/19.
Our Nursery will be open 10:15-11am on Sundays and relies on volunteers. If you can assist, please contact Mo. Kate, and thank you! As always, parents are welcome Sunday mornings in the classrooms or at the Dean’s Forum. Both will focus this fall on Creation Care.

Dean's Forum, Sundays at 10:15am
Join us in-person, Sundays at 10:15am, at the Mercer School of Theology (65 4th Street) for the Dean's Forum! In this fall’s Creation Care series, we explore the relationship between theology and ecology. Drawing from scripture, poetry and art, we consider ways in which our faith relates to the earth, conservation and ecological stewardship.
We Pray

A Prayer for the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
