Throughout the Gospels, Jesus meets people at the table—welcoming the outcast, challenging the self-righteous, nourishing the hungry, and revealing His very identity. Lent invites us to slow down and reflect: How is Jesus meeting us at the table of our own lives? Where do we need to be fed, healed, or transformed? Each session will include scripture, discussion, and a simple spiritual practice to take into daily life. Led by Mother Michelle Robertshaw and Canon Mike Alford.
Ten Commandments Bible Study
“The Ten Commandments: Laws of the Heart” by Joan Chittister
Are the Ten Commandments just a set of rules or are they a way of life? How does each one call us to reflect on our life and values? What does it mean to love God and our neighbor in a world where violence, greed, and fear threaten our lives, our values, our hearts? Joan Chittister answers these and other questions.
Each chapter focuses on what one of the commandments means for us today. The final two shed light on the two Great Commandments, "Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself." Led by Deacon Hillary Peete.
Books are available at the front desk for $10.

Choral Evensong
Choral Evensong | March 23 at 5:00 pm, organ prelude at 4:45 pm
Our service of Choral Evensong for the Third Sunday in Lent, will feature the “Short Service” of Orlando Gibbons.
Gibbons 1583-1625) was an English composer and keyboard player. The best-known member of a musical family dynasty, by the 1610s he was the leading composer and organist in England, with a career cut short by his sudden death in 1625. As a result, Gibbons’s oeuvre was not as large as that of his contemporaries, but he made considerable contributions to many genres of his time. He is often seen as a transitional figure from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods.
The Anthem is Purcell’s “Hear my prayer, O Lord,” and the concluding hymn is “Cast out, O Christ.” An organ prelude at 4:45 pm performed by Music Director Dwight Thomas will feature the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The Cathedral Chamber Choir sings. A freewill offering is taken, and a light reception follows.

Legacy Letter Workshop
What is a Legacy Letter? It’s a personal letter you write to your heirs sharing your dreams, stories, wishes, and wisdom. Imagine what it would mean to your loved ones to hear, in your own words, your values, experiences, and hopes. So often, after someone has died, we regret the conversations we didn’t have, yearn to hear the stories one more time, wish we could benefit from the advice of our elders. This is your chance to give your heirs that priceless gift.
We’ll share examples, provide materials, and give you lots of ideas to get you started. And since we cannot predict the timing of our own death, no one is ever too old or too young to write a Legacy Letter ... or to encourage beloved family members to do so. Lunch will be provided. Register here.
