At Christ Church Cathedral, we are dedicated to serving our community, and our efforts shine through The Community Table! On September 21st, our fantastic volunteers, led by Doug Faulkner, CCC's liaison for this ministry, came together to provide a warm meal to around 65 guests.
Despite the rain, the spirit of community remained strong. Our team served pizza, fruit, and salad, ensuring that no one left empty-handed with desserts and breads to take home.
We serve at The Community Table every other month on the third Saturday, and our next opportunity is on November 16th. We invite you to join us in making a difference — sign up on our church website to volunteer!
Matthew 25:35 "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me"

#ThrowbackThursday to our historic elevator groundbreaking!
Flashback to when we officially broke ground on our mission to make Christ Church Cathedral even more accessible to everyone in Eau Claire!
Back in 2017, we took a bold step towards inclusivity with our $600,000 project, adding an elevator and opening up more spaces for all. Whether you’re attending worship, coming to a Chorale
NouvEAU event, or a community meeting, now everyone can move freely through our beautiful spaces.
Missy Stepanek, our Elevator Committee Chair, said it best: “Our Cathedral is for the whole community, and now, we’re ensuring everyone can be part of it.”
This throwback is a reminder of how we’ve grown together as a church and a community!
Curious to see the final project? Pop by the Cathedral and explore how we've opened our doors even wider to Eau Claire!
Friendly Faces Friday!
Today, we shine a spotlight on Jany Chumas, a beloved member of Christ Church Cathedral for an amazing 67 years!
Jany's journey with Christ Church began in 1957 when she, as a college student, felt drawn to our community. Over the decades, she has been a quiet yet powerful presence in our church, contributing through Sunday school, study groups, confirmation class, Cursillo, Altar Guild, weddings, funerals, and fundraisers. Her dedication and service have strengthened our parish in countless ways.
Parishioner Missy Stepanek reflects:
"Jany is always cooking, caring for so many, with a generous heart. She quietly does things behind the scenes, living and sharing her faith every day."
And as Ellen Allison shared:
“When I think of Jany, I am reminded of Ephesians 2:10: ‘For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ She has never shown me anything but the love of Christ in all that she tirelessly does and says.”
We invite you to join us this Sunday at 9 AM for Ingathering Sunday. Together, we will continue Jany’s legacy of service by supporting our outreach programs such as Beacon House, Community Table, and the Needful Things Personal Care Pantry. Bring in personal care items and help us meet our financial commitments to these important ministries.
Stop stressing about tomorrow — it hasn’t even happened yet!
Too many people waste time worrying about what might go wrong, instead of being grateful for what’s going right right now. Focus on today. Make the most of it.

Faith-Filled Friday!
Today, let's come together in prayer for everyone affected by the recent hurricanes. Families have been displaced, communities devastated, and the road to recovery will be long. But together, we can make a real difference—through faith and action.
Take a moment today to lift up those impacted in your prayers. And if you’re wondering how you can help, consider supporting organizations like Episcopal Relief & Development or Samaritan's Purse, who are on the ground providing essential aid. Even a small contribution can go a long way toward helping someone rebuild their life.
Let’s unite in prayer and action.

We’re not just a church; we’re a community dedicated to putting faith into action with love, grit, and a little hustle.

Worship Wednesday is here, friends!
At Christ Church Cathedral, this season we’re walking a path of love and stewardship answering the call to care for our neighbors, our community, and each other. Our theme this year, Walk In Love, isn’t just about financial gifts—it’s about how we can each bring our time, talent, and treasure to the table.
Whether it’s lending a hand to a neighbor, supporting our outreach programs, or contributing to the church’s mission, every single one of us has something unique to offer. Stewardship is our way of coming together in purpose and love to create real change.
So, how will you walk in love this year? Take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your life and how you can share those blessings with the world.
Let’s take this journey together. For more details on how to participate, check the link in our bio or send us a message—we’re here to walk with you.
Let's Take a Moment to Reflect on This Thoughtful Thursday
Stewardship goes beyond giving—it’s about how we care for the gifts we’ve received and how we share them with others. At Christ Church Cathedral, stewardship is a call to live thoughtfully, nurturing the blessings we’ve been entrusted with and finding ways to serve our church and community.
Today, we invite you to reflect on this question: How can be better stewards of the blessings we've been given, both in our Church and in our Community? Whether through acts of service or supporting the mission of the church, we all have a role in making a difference.
We encourage you to share your thoughts and engage in meaningful dialogue with us in the comments below. Together, let’s inspire one another to live out our faith through thoughtful stewardship.

Fascinating Faith Friday
Did you know the striking red doors of Episcopal churches are more than just a beautiful entrance? Traditionally, red doors symbolize sanctuary, offering a place of refuge, safety, and connection with God to all who enter. The color red also represents the blood of Christ and the sacrifices made in faith, creating a powerful reminder of God’s love and protection.
Every time we walk through these doors, we’re invited into a sacred space, surrounded by peace, community, and a shared journey in faith.

Ministry in Action
Our ministry isn’t just about providing items—it’s about offering dignity and hope. In October, our Needful Things Pantry served 464 individuals, including 196 children. As needs grow, we’re inviting our Christ Church community and beyond to join this mission of love.
We’re especially in need of donations to restock essentials like:
Toilet paper (for over 100 families!), paper towels, and tissues.
Baby items such as wipes and diapers (thanks to Feed My People last month!).
Hygiene basics: laundry pods, dish soap, deodorant, shaving cream, and more.
Every contribution, big or small, helps us serve with grace. And if you know someone who needs adult incontinence products, please let them know we have an abundance available.
Thank you for helping us embody Christ’s love in action. We’re here every last Saturday from 3-5 pm.
