​Children’s Chapel Children to Sing in on Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday, April 5 at the announcements

Children’s Chapel will sing “Celtic Alleluia” and “The Light of Christ.”  Myles Garver will work with the children during Children’s Chapel to prepare for singing.  We have two more Sundays left to learn the words and music. While the songs and words are not difficult, we encourage you to bring your children the next few Sundays so they can practice and be ready to offer their best on Easter morning.

Easter Memorial Designations

Deadline for Designations is Monday, March 30

Traditionally gifts are given at Easter to offset the cost of the Easter flowers, music, and for seasonal planting in the garden. Gifts may be given as a thanksgiving or as a memorial.  Please use the form on our website christchurchcathedralmobile.org/easteratthecathedral, or you may use the cards found in your pew, and on the ministry table.  Donations are $15 each.

Decorating for Easter

Saturday, April 4 at 9:00 a.m.

The Flower Guild will work its magic on Saturday morning. 

This year Saylor Wiley and Homer McClure are working together to design all of the Easter floral decorations.  Please let them know that you would like to help.  No experience is necessary—there will be jobs for all skill levels.  Just bring your gloves and your clippers.  

 

Easter Egg Hunt

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt takes place in Mardi Gras Park following the Easter service.  The hunt is for children through grade 2.  Hospitality for children will be served in the park.  Please bring a dozen stuffed, plastic eggs (no nuts or chocolate) for each child who will hunt by Good Friday, April 3.  

 

Easter Egg Hunt Helpers

The Fun Club will help hide Easter eggs on Easter Sunday morning.  If you are in grades 4, 5, or 6 and would like to help, meet at the back of the church after the opening hymn.  Once the eggs are hidden, we will tiptoe back into church to sit with our families. After communion, please meet again at the back of the church. We will smile for the parish photo and quickly exit the sanctuary to “guard” the eggs before the hunt starts!  

 

Cathedral Office Holiday

The Cathedral office will be closed on Easter Monday, April 6. 

We will reopen on Tuesday, April 7 at 9:00 a.m.

 

Send a Child to Camp Beckwith This Summer

Create a Summer They’ll Never Forget! 

Help send Prichard Preparatory School students to Camp Beckwith this summer. Christ Church Cathedral will be giving Prichard Prep 4th and 5th graders an experience they've never had before—enjoying a four-day camp session in “God’s Front Yard” that includes swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, games, and meaningful fellowship.

 

The cost to sponsor one camper is $300, but any contribution makes a difference. Jane Bartlett Nenstiel will speak to the congregation at announcements this Sunday to let you know more about the project.  To get involved, please contact Jane Bartlett at (251) 895-7702.

 

Later this spring look for information on a project to help donate items for camper care bags to send with the campers.
