Creating Sacred Rhythms 2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5 C h r i st i a n Fo r m a t i o n Deep in the heart of every human being is a desire to be fully alive. Not just to exist but to thrive. Do you have a sacred rhythm for your life that makes you feel alive? Or do you long to live life at a different pace? Scripture tells us that there is a time for everything and that God has made everything beautiful in time. At Christ Church Cathedral, creating sacred rhythms is about listening to an ancient echo deep within that opens into resonant pathways to our true selves and to God, where rest and restoration, work and play, and reflection and worship ebb and flow with life force and divine energy. If you are eager to find a design for your life that accords with your creativity as it propels your life in service, prayer and generosity, we invite you on this exciting journey at Christ Church Cathedral. The promise is this: Creating sacred rhythms can reveal our deepest selves and highest purpose as we become more fully alive. When we live a life in sync with God and in tune with others we thrive and God’s love overflows in our lives and the world. Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral where creating sacred rhythms has the power to make us whole.
