Providing Dinner for Beacon House - Oct. 11th & 14th October 11 & 14 are Christ Church Cathedral's turn to be blessed by providing dinner for the residents (usually around 10 people of various ages) and overnight staff of The Beacon House. The food will need to be delivered to the Beacon House by 4:30 p.m. on the date you sign up for. Beacon House staff members are taking turns covering the overnight needs. They have asked for a $100 donation to help defray the cost of paying the staff to cover what volunteers would normally have provided. Thank You!!

Parish Meeting Sunday, October 23rd, 10:15 a.m. Dear Cathedral Family: The Vestry would like to invite you to a parish meeting on Sunday, October 23rd, following the 9:00 a.m. church service, in the Great Hall. We will be discussing our finances, stewardship, and provide updated information about our search for a new Dean. We are looking for strong participation; please find instructions for Zoom access below if you are not able to attend in person. The Vestry values your input on helping to make decisions for the future of Christ Church Cathedral.

Benjamin announced an upcoming Parish meeting to be held after the 9:00 service on Sunday, October 23. One of the topics of discussion at this meeting will be the search for our new Dean. Prior to the Vestry changing the full-time position posting to part-time, due to the low number of applicants, we received several full time applications. The Search Committee has interviewed several viable candidates, however, the $60,000 financial package we are offering has not met the level of expectation the candidates require for a full-time position. With that in mind, the Vestry has voted to suspend the search until the next stewardship campaign has been implemented. The hope is to increase pledges sufficiently to be able to offer a competitive package. Please make every effort to attend the Parish meeting on October 23. Your thoughts, prayers, and ideas are very important to the future of the Cathedral. Please pray for guidance as our search committee proceeds during this time of discernment. If you are unable to attend the meeting, contact the office with any questions or concerns. Diocesan Convention - Fri - Sat, November 11-12, 2022 We are so excited to be hosting the Diocesan Convention again this year!
