Sunday, February 26

As we continue to watch the tragedy of the earthquakes unfold, and as the war in Ukraine continues, humanitarian efforts across the globe are in full force to help the people who are recovering from a natural disaster or who are fleeing from the war and those who remain behind. We are urgently called to pray and respond.

It is especially important this first Sunday of Lent that is designated as ERD Sunday.

 

Resources for prayer from our Book of Common Prayer:

• Supplication [it follows the Great Litany], p.154

• For Peace, p. 815

• For Human Family, p. 815

• For those who influence public opinion, p. 827

 

Resources to respond. Currently, our support is best offered by means of monetary donations to the organizations equipped to offer aid:

• To give, please use our on-line giving link and select ERD from the drop down menu,

• or to give directly for earthquake relief using this link.

   

The ERD Lenten Mediations booklet is found on the ERD website.

This year during Lent the Cathedral Family will be taking something up.  The Jerusalem Challenge is a fitness plan with a spiritual heart. You are invited to grow your faith and strengthen your body for the ministry God calls you to in the Church and in the world.  We will be using Christ Walk by Anna Fitch Currie. The book may be purchased from Amazon or a local bookseller, but it is not required.

For more information please contact The Reverend Eric Zubler.
