Classes, Programs, Art & Fellowship Christ Church Cathedral Welcomes You!

166 Market Street Lexington, KY 40507 www.ccclex.org

Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral Discovering God’s welcome is the beginning of an exciting journey. To be accepted for who we truly are—precious and beloved by God—is to step into abundant life in God. “To live in God’s welcome is a gift available to all; to share that welcome with the world is our mission.” Many people long for a life of meaning and hunger for authentic relationships with people who live beyond themselves. If you are eager to explore your relationship with God in a community of welcome, we invite you to step deeper into God’s abundance.

Christ Church Cathedral serves a unique downtown ministry in the heart of Lexington. We are a people of prayer and action, eager to serve those in our community. We have programs and events for all generations. Everyone can find a place for involvement and service as we seek to extend God’s love made known in Jesus Christ.

The mission of Christ Church Cathedral is to restore all persons to unity with God and one another in Christ Jesus, through prayer, worship, proclamation of the Gospel, and the promotion of Justice, Peace and Love.

God has a dream to heal the world. Cathedrals are meant to give us a glimpse of that dream, and in so doing, to fortify and inspire us for that life-giving work.

If you would like to know more about the Cathedral, please call Parish Secretary Margaret Christensen at 254-4497 or email her at mchristensen@ ccclex.org to set up an appointment. Also, visit our website at www.ccclex. org.

Christian Formation, Art & Fellowship Fall 2012

Seasons of Pentecost, Advent & Christmas Lifelong Christian Formation at Christ Church Cathedral Discovering God’s Welcome This year we will explore God’s Welcome together. A good way to begin is to reflect on how we have been personally welcomed by God. When has that happened and what was that like? When we embrace how we have personally been welcomed by God, a desire to extend this welcome to the other is born. It becomes more than a polite handshake and a cup of coffee. The following passage is actually lived out: “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirstyand you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,... I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’... ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’” Matthew 25:35-36, 40 May we live into this vision together this year.

- Dr. Elizabeth Conrad, Minister of Christian Formation Prayer for Education Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom: Enlighten by your Holy Spirit those who teach and those who learn, that rejoicing in the knowledge of your truth, they may worship and serve you from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(The Book of Common Prayer)

Brotherhood of St. Andrew The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew is a men’s organization of the Episcopal Church founded in 1883 for the purpose of prayer, study and service. Our chapter, which was formed in 1893, was reactivated in 2011 after over thirty years of inactivity. We welcome and encourage all interested men in the parish to join us. Call John Perrine at 268-0306.

Cathedral Music Children have a unique ability to absorb and learn. A hallmark of the Cathedral music program is imbuing children and youth with a passion, joy and sense of purpose for singing great sacred music. Regarded nationally as a leader and innovator in the development of treble choirs, the Cathedral music program provides instruction for boys, girls and teens based on the curriculum of the Royal School of Church Music - www.rscmamerica.org.

Children and youth deepen their sense of history, liturgy, language, and art, as well as their ability to interpret sacred texts and music. Instruction balances warmth and humor with structure and attention to detail. As they learn and work together, Choristers develop lasting friendships and become part of a community that uplifts individual and collective efforts.

Contact Canon Musician Erich Balling, 254-4497, for more information.

Children’s Chapel Children ages 4 through fourth grade may join the opening procession of the 8:30am service and 11:00am service, then go into the Children’s Chapel for a service specifically for them. Children join parents during the Discovering God’s Welcome

Finding Jesus in Harry Potter October 28 Led by The Rev. Danielle Tumminio Can we find Jesus in Harry Potter? Is there salvation in the wizarding world? Are these books fiction with nothing to say about our Christian faith? The Harry Potter series has captured the imagination of millions because it engages timeless themes like sacrifice and justice. In this interactive forum, we will discuss whether or not there is a Christ-figure in the series and, in anticipation of All Saints’ Day, whether there is a community of saints in the series. Building on this, we will conclude our time together by discussing what kind of justice and salvation exists in the series and what that image communicates to us as Christians serving our neighbors and communities.

The Friends of Saint Benedict First Saturday of the month 10:00am-Noon Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Winchester Led by The Rev. Marcia Hunter Saint Benedict’s “little rule” written in the 6th Century provided a guide first for monastic members and later for anyone who wished to develop their own rule of life. Originally formed as a study group with Jane Tomaine’s book, Saint Benedict’s Tool Box, several of us found the sharing and accountability of regular meetings challenged, affirmed and enhanced our faith journey in such a way that we wanted to continue, and have done so for over five years. New people have joined and more are welcome. Our focus is the daily living of the faith we proclaim through continued study and discussion of Saint Benedict’s Rule and its application in the 21st century, prayer, Scripture and liturgical seasons. We have had several Quiet Days including recently a study of iconography and wisdom literature. Gatherings include Morning Prayer and/or Eucharist.

Riverkeepers, Opening September 21 Art at the Cathedral’s fall schedule begins with the September gallery, a traveling exhibit entitled “Riverkeepers” that was organized 10 years ago. It has been enlarged to include many local artists who consistently display with Art at the Cathedral (AATC). In addition to being a show on water-quality and conservation issues, it also serves as our contribution to the Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) program: “Water” www.er-d. org/userfiles/Session%201-Water.pdf The September 21 Gallery Hop will feature music and poetry in addition to the art. Also as a response to ERD’s “Water” mission, AATC will sponsor an art and craft workshop led by two outstanding artists: Pat Banks, watercolorist, EKU, and Judy Sizemore, art consultant, Berea. The workshop will be held in the Activities Room on Saturday, October 6, and will benefit all teachers and youth leaders. The workshop will be from 10:00am to 12:00pm and will close with a box lunch.
