Black History Month Celebration 

Sunday, February 1 

Christ Church Cathedral looks forward to hosting Trebled Soul, the Alabama State University Vocal Jazz Ensemble, and the Excelsior Band for our 5th Annual Black History Month Celebration. Join us for a service highlighting the rich tradition of music we enjoy from Black composers and cultures, including jazz, Afro-American hymns, and spirituals.  We will also welcome that day The Reverend Bertice Berry, PhD, a sociologist, author, lecturer, storyteller, mother, and grandmother.  She is a woman of science and faith. Ordained a Deacon in the Episcopal Church, Dr. Berry will be our preacher that day. Dr. Berry believes that every one of us has been given a unique purpose and it is our obligation to find it and use it to improve first our own self and then the lives of those we live and work with. She is a world renowned expert in corporate engagement, belonging, transformational leadership and internal wellness. She has enthralled our delegates as a speaker at our Diocesan Convention, and we are excited to have her speak here at Christ Church Cathedral.

​

Kappa League Brunch

We are combining the celebration with our annual brunch in support of the Mobile Kappa League.  The funds are for preparation and fees for college entrance exams for members of the Mobile Kappa League.  We are asking for sponsors willing to support the project for $100 (sponsorship entitles you to 4 tickets).  Brunch tickets are $10.   You may become a sponsor, or purchase tickets by signing-up at church—look for a sign-up in the vestibules or by using the link sent in the weekly email and on the website landing page. 

Calling all Cooks

We need a team of cooks to prepare brunch. The sign-up link to cook or assist is on our website landing page.

Tell Out  My Soul: Annual Giving  2026 Are You a Pledging Member?

Christ Church Cathedral is deeply grateful to those who have made an annual pledge for 2026.  It isn’t too late to become a pledging member—pledges are essential. While many churches and cathedrals our size have significant endowments to help fund mission and ministry, Christ Church Cathedral does not—89 percent of the funds for our work come from pledges and gifts from people like you. To make a pledge you may go to our website, or contact Brenda Stanton, Financial Secretary.  Pledge envelopes for everyone who requested them are on the credenza in the Chapter House.  If you would like envelopes, please contact Brenda Stanton.

 

Cathedral Prayer List

At Christ Church Cathedral we pray for one another in different ways, and invite you to request prayer by the clergy, or the parish.  During our Sunday worship we pray silently and aloud for our own needs and those of others.  If you have a prayer concern that you wish to be included in our prayers, please email Carolyn Jeffers at cjeffers@christchurchcathedralmobile.org to send a confidential request. This could be a prayer for yourself or for a loved one, friend, or colleague.  Each year we ask that the names on the prayer list be resubmitted.  Please let Carolyn Jeffers know if you have added a name to the prayer list and would like for it to remain.  We will publish the new list on February 8.  When requesting that someone be added to the printed prayer list that is included in our Sunday service bulletins, please ask their permission before adding names.  If you will also send us their mailing address, we will mail a card letting them know we are keeping them in our prayers.   

 

Forward Day by Day

Daily devotionals for February, March, April are available on the ministry table.

Thank you from the Child Advocacy Center

In a note from Andy Wynne, Executive Director of The Child Advocacy Center, he said, “Thank you for remembering the young victims of abuse cared for by the CAC.  Your kindness not only provides direct assurance to them, it also is proof that there are good and kind people who care.”  We thank all of you who supported our community ministries throughout the holiday season.  We provided coats, toys and food to many in need of each.
