Summer VBS 2025

Egypt: Joseph’s Journey from prison to palace

Sundays this summer from June 1 through August 3.

This summer we will spend a while on the Nile as we journey on Sunday mornings into the life of Joseph. This Sunday we will visit Joseph in prison to learn that God us always with us, no matter where we are. Children are invited to come dressed casually.  VBS will last from 10:00 a.m. until 10:45 a.m.  We will bring them into the back of church for communion.  We need helpers for VBS including characters for the skits, leaders for crafts, and someone each week to create an easy themed snack.  Service hours are available for helping with VBS.  Please use the sign-up link found in the weekly email and on the website, or use the sign-up sheet on the ministry table.

When you are Away this Summer...

As you plan for your summer fun, please remember to keep your Stewardship pledge current. This would be a good time to consider starting a monthly ACH withdrawal from your checking account or paying your pledge online through the Christ Church Cathedral website.  Please contact Brenda Stanton in the Cathedral office for assistance with either method. 

 

When you are away we encourage you to worship wherever you are traveling, or you may join us virtually

by using link to our services on our weekly emails and on our website.​​

Betty Coale Young Musician Scholarship

The Betty Coale Young Musician Scholarship grants financial awards to promising middle and high-school instrumentalists and singers. Recipients of this scholarship are featured during Christ Church Cathedral’s summer services.  Our first musician for 2025 will play on June 22. 

We are deeply thankful for Harwell Coale’s generous donation in memory of his late wife and for their long-standing support of the music ministry at Christ Church Cathedral. Betty Coale was a cherished member of the Christ Church choir, and we are grateful that her memory lives on in the support of education and performance opportunities for area music students.
