Fellowship
Supper Club
Supper Clubs are up and running. We have supper club groups with a variety of options: different days of the week, times of day, home dinners or even some that might want to gather at restaurants, and a group for young adults. If you would like to join a group, please contact Meg Mattei, or complete a sign up form.
Pastoral Care
GriefShare is a 13-session small group support program for those experiencing the loss of a loved one. This nationally known program allows for discussion and personal Bible study enhanced by viewing a weekly video. Common experiences and events shape the group experience, creating an atmosphere of care and comfort. Participation is on a week-to-week basis, as no two people grieve in the same manner or on the same timeline. Whether you have lost a loved one recently or a while back, all experiencing grief are welcome to participate in this group. GriefShare is open to anyone in the greater Mobile community. Please sign-up to let us know you are interested. The meeting times will be determined by the group. To learn more, please contact The Rev. Eric Zubler.
The Card Ministry Team ministers to the Cathedral family by sending each a birthday prayer card during their birthday month. The team also sends a card to everyone who is on the Cathedral Prayer list. The time commitment is 2 hours per month. The Card Team Chair will initially send a packet of cards, envelopes, and stamps, and then will send a list of those having birthdays. Special skills preferred: A dependable personality with a desire to help people feel connected.
Christian Formation
Children's Formation
Students of our Sunday School are immersing themselves in a new model of Christian Formation called the Workshop Rotational Method. Each month a new story or character from the New Testament will be introduced with four to five “workshops” or “stations.” The workshop will teach the story through hands-on learning, as one age group does an art activity, another does a science or cooking activity, another participates in acting out the story, another watches a video or other technology-based activity.
This curriculum works very well across the grade levels and enables students to immerse themselves deeper in the meaning, context, and setting of the story being taught over a four- to five-week period.
Sunday School Refresh
We have cleaned and planned for our Sunday School rooms and now we are ready to paint! We have scheduled two painting days:
Thursday, March 3 from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Friday, March 4 from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Please let us know you can help by signing up here. Childcare will be provided based on sign-up.
If you are interested in working with the program, please contact our Clergy Associate Eric Zubler+.
WELCOME TO CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL
Christ Church Cathedral offers a safe environment
and engaging worship that helps us grow closer to God.
We strive to make this a gracious, nurturing, and inclusive place.
We want all members of the Cathedral family and our visitors to feel at home.
People from all walks of life and faiths are welcome to worship.
New to Mobile? Unfamiliar with the Episcopal Church, or Christianity? Welcome.
Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey, the members of the Cathedral family hope that your experience here will strengthen and encourage you.
As you browse our website, you may consider visiting us for worship, attending our annual newcomers brunch, sign up for our inquirer's class, subscribe to our weekly emails--there is no cost, no obligation, and we will not share your email with outside groups.
Do as much or as little as you like. There are no requirements for being a part of our community of faith. If you want to be baptized, confirmed, or transferred from another Episcopal parish, we would love to have you--but, it's not required. Everything we do is open to all.
Here is an on-line visitor card--it is not required, but it helps us be more responsive to you!
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU HERE
WORSHIP
You are welcome to attend in-person, socially-distanced worship on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. Reservations are not required to attend.
We will continue to live-stream Sunday worship from the Cathedral on Sunday mornings at our regular worship time of 10:00 a.m. Christopher Powell will be on the bench to provide beautiful music for our worship, and we will sing hymns. The Dean will lead worship and offer a sermon. A lay reader will be present to read lessons and Cathedral Prayers.
We will send bulletins electronically, and they are linked at the top of this page along with the link to our worship service so that you may participate from home if you wish. Please share this information with anyone you know who might like to worship with us. If you are able to help someone who is technologically challenged access the service, please do so. The service will also be available on Face Book and YouTube.
