Praying in Color Advent Retreat

Advent is the season of preparation for God’s coming into the world as flesh and blood at Christmas. Lush and heady words pepper our Advent vocabulary—incarnation, anticipation, repentance, preparation, annunciation…. But Advent is also a season of down-to-earthiness and the senses. It is a time for awakening the head, heart, and body.

With left-brain and right-brain exercises, we will explore some meditative and playful practices to journey through Advent--practices that also equip us to travel the entire liturgical year. Paper, pens, and colored markers will be provided. No artist skill is necessary. Just bring a spirit of Holy Adventure. Register online at spcathedral.org/arts.

9:30 am - Welcome and Coffee
10:00 am - Start of Retreat
12:00 pm - Light lunch available ($5 donation)
1:00 pm - Closing

No Cure for Being Human Book Discussion

November 7: Chapters 1-3
November 14: 4-6
November 21: 7-10

It’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? (from Penguin Random House)

Led by Deacon Hillary Peete, all are invited to gather in-person for a conversation in the Chapter Room about how we hold both the terrible and beautiful truths about life and find hope in knowing that there is no cure for being human.

Each week will open with a quiet meditation on scripture and then discussion around chapters in Kate Bowler’s book “No Cure for Being Human (And Other Truths I Need To Hear).

Copies of the book are available to purchase at church for $12 or you can purchase one on your own online. You’re also welcome to just come for conversation if you aren’t able to read the book each week.

Great American Teach In

The Great American Teach-In provides an opportunity for members of the community to come in and speak with students about their occupations, hobbies, or areas of interest. We’ve had volunteers talk about being a traffic engineer, do entertaining read-alouds of books, flower arranging, and art projects.You can volunteer for as little as 30 minutes or a few hours!

The Cathedral would like to have 4 or 5 volunteer leaders at Campbell Park to engage with students and help expand their perspectives and imaginations. If you’d like to lead a session or volunteer to support another volunteer, please contact Karen Raihill. Visit spcathedral.org/community for more information.

Themes such as environment, borders, foodways, and the sacred and profane are highlighted, with recurring symbols contextualizing the collective identity of the borderland region.
