The Universal Christ:
How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For,
and Believe
by Richard Rohr
This summer we hope to read together each week and rediscover Jesus and learn to experience Christ in every thing. This week we are reading Chapter 4 - Original Goodness and Chapter 5 - Love Is The Meaning (pgs. 58-80). Many of us feel
disconnected by difficult times, longing for ways to awaken God’s love in ourselves and the world. The reality we face is simple yet difficult—the healing of the world hinges upon honoring the inherent sacredness of the world and every one in it.
The Universal Christ Reading Schedule
Christ is not Jesus' last name.
Christ has existed "from the beginning",
so the Christ cannot be the same as Jesus.

Christian Formation
VBS 2022: HayDay
Vacation Bible School 2022
Monday, June 27 through Wednesday, June 29
from 9:00 a.m. until Noon
All we need to make VBS a huge success are volunteers. We need two greeters each day, including Sunday. We also need a team to prepare and serve snacks, assistant youth leaders to help the campers move through a variety of activities, and adults to help with set-up on Sunday afternoon and take down on Wednesday afternoon. Please speak to Eric+ or use Sign-up Genius to be involved in the best VBS ever!
We Are Looking for Some Stuff
Each year we gather all of the supplies and props needed for VBS. This year is no different we need things like a wheelbarrow, a rake and a hoe. Please look at this list and see if there is anything you can supply. Everything should be delivered to the Chapel undercroft by Friday, June 24.
Children's Chapel Volunteers Needed
We still need volunteers to help officiate the Children’s Chapel experience for our youngest members each week. A new Sign-up Genius is posted on our website or see Eric+ for more details.
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.
