Sunday School this Week

This week our children will begin a two-week project for Mother’s Day as they learn a bit more about

the Hebrew people’s exodus from Egyptian slavery in Children’s Chapel. We will also carefully monitor our 

“Ladybug Land” terrarium for a planned ladybug release into the Cathedral garden on Sunday, May 5.

The Nursery is open from 9:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. for our youngest members. Youth are invited to the FUN CLUB

above the chapel right after worship for air hockey, snacks, and discussion with Miss Julia.

Dean’s Summer Read

 Paul: A Biography by N. T. Wright

As we concluded our slow reading of Paul’s Letter to the Romans, the Dean’s Bible Study group wanted to continue their slow reading over the summer by learning more about Paul’s life and ministry. We decided to read N. T. Wright’s popular biography of Paul and to invite members and friends of the Cathedral Family to join us.  We will begin reading Paul: A Biography in late May and conclude in August. Our group will meet for discussion together once a month, on Wednesdays at 5:15 p.m., both in person in the Huger Meeting Room and via Zoom. In between meetings, the Dean will post comments and questions online.  On our website you will find an outline for our reading, along with information on ordering the book and downloading a free reader’s guide.
