College students are curious, and endeavoring to cram a great deal into their still developing brains. Many college students are also perpetually underfed. Beginning on Thursday, April 9th, Christ Church Cathedral is beginning a new program to change this unfortunate truth. Thursday's Table is a new weekly dinner ministry, meeting every Thursday at 7:00 PM through May 7th. We'll gather eight to ten college students around a table for a simple, home-cooked meal and a little genuine community. Nothing elaborate, nothing fussy. Tacos, spaghetti, lasagna. Real, home-cooked food, made with care. That is precisely where you come in! Each Thursday, we need a few generous souls to make the evening happen: someone to provide the main dish, someone for a side or salad, someone to bring a dessert, and someone to arrive a little early to help set up and welcome the students when they walk through the door. Signing up takes about ninety seconds, check out the Signup Genius link. Your cooking skill level is irrelevant. Your willingness to show up for a young person who is far from home matters enormously. Lenten Soup and Salad SeriesClick here to sign up to provide soup and salad! Please note: the book is not provided
Sign Up for the Nightwatch at the Altar of Repose
“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.” Each year on Maundy Thursday, we honor this moment by processing the Blessed Sacrament from the altar to a place of solemn rest — the Altar of Repose — set apart in a quiet, sacred space. This mirrors the journey to Gethsemane, where Jesus waited in deep prayer before His arrest. For centuries, Christians have kept watch through the night, remembering Christ’s anguish and unwavering love. We invite you to take part in this ancient tradition by committing to an hour of prayer and reflection at the Altar of Repose. ◊ Date & Time: Maundy Thursday, April 2 at 6:00 p.m. Whether in silent prayer, reflection, or simple presence, this is a sacred opportunity to walk with Jesus in His final hours before the Cross. Sign up for a time of watchful prayer immediately following the Maundy Thursday service. Let us enter these holy days with reverence, keeping watch with Christ.

March 18, 2026
We have had some busy evenings while we've been out since our last journal. We've provided for needs, met new people, and have encountered spring-like weather, only to return to wet and cold weather. We've learned over the years not to fall for Fool's Spring and leave our winter gear in the van and available until the threat of cold weather is gone.
We're observing what appears to be an increase in the number of people exhibiting mental illness symptoms over the last few months. We're not sure what contributes to the cycles of what we see, if anything, but there certainly seems to be periods when we see more people struggling than not. We encourage safety, but conversations can be challenging when it's unclear what someone is perceiving or understanding. The symptoms increase a person's vulnerability as they navigate not just how to get from place to place but to get their basic needs met in a safe and appropriate manner. .
The unhoused in our community routinely face uncertainties. For instance, one day last week was in the 50°-60° range, and this week's winter storm arrived. Some people cannot stay at the shelter, so they need to find a safe place to get out of the weather. Safety, in general, is an uncertainty, and this is especially true for women and those with health and/or mobility issues. It takes skill, perseverance, and knowledge of resources to continue moving forward.
Thank you for your support of the street ministry and the people we serve. We appreciate you! Blessings,
CVSM Staff
Something to think about as we enter Easter ....
..By North American standards, Jesus could be considered neither a successful person, nor could he be considered morally respectable. He identified with the prostitutes and drunkards, the unemployed and the poor, not because he felt sorry for them, but in order to reveal God's judgment against social and religious structures that oppress the weak. Jesus was born like the poor, he lived with them, and on the cross he died like them. James H. Cone - Theologian
