On August 21, we’ll host a Godly Play Open House for parents and children, as well as a Youth Information Session for parents and youth.
TRADITIONS WORTH COMING HOME FOR By the Rev. Canon Lauren Holder, Canon for Community and Education
These faux chrysanthemums are adorned with glitter, tinsel, trinkets, and braided ribbon that nearly touches the ground. Homecoming mums are heavy, weighing down whatever garment you pin them to. A few years ago, I visited my youngest Texas cousin who was still in high school. I noted that homecoming mums had grown in both size and weight (because bigger is always better in Texas) so that girls now wear them hanging around their necks rather than pinning them to their clothing. This struck me as simultaneously practical and ridiculous. When I was growing up, these mums were meant to be a sign of school pride. They were a way of marking yourself as part of a community and celebrating that sense of belonging. Long after the homecoming game and homecoming dance were over, the mum would remain pinned to a bulletin board as a sacred reminder of friendship and fun. This Sunday we will celebrate Homecoming at the Cathedral of St. Philip. And while I don’t anticipate any Cathedral themed mums (I’m looking at you, Flower Guild!), I do look forward to the sense of celebration, community, belonging, and maybe even a little church pride.
On August 28, we’ll celebrate with a Parish BBQ for all ages and stages!
The Cathedral of St. Philip is ready to welcome you home with arms open wide, whether you have been here one year or a lifetime. Thank you for making this place your spiritual home.
When I think about Homecoming, the first thing that comes to mind is my beloved red, white, and blue homecoming mum. I’m not talking about the colorful mums we tend to put in our front porch pots in the fall—those are lovely. I’m talking about the super gaudy homecoming mums of Texas lore.
The CATHEDRAL TIMES The weekly newsletter of the Cathedral of St. Philip · Serving Atlanta and the World · August 14, 2022
On August 14, Homecoming Sunday, we’ll host the Ministry Fair between services. Come explore all the small groups that make this big community feel like home.
So many new people have joined our church community this past year, and I hear in their voices an eagerness to connect with Bible studies, volunteer opportunities, and social guilds. So many longtimers are rolling up their sleeves after some summer rest, ready to reconnect in old ways and new. There is a certain energy in the halls, a beautiful full sound in the nave, and a refreshed feeling in our classrooms. (Lisa and Keith can’t wait to show off their new spaces!) This Homecoming feels especially significant, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Note: Beginning with this week's issue, we move back to our pre-pandemic practice of listing only the choral repertoire in the Times music list.

The 32 Sonatas of Beethoven In celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven’s recent 250th birthday—and as a fundraiser for the Cathedral Choir's 2024 pilgrimage to England—pianist (and Cathedral Coordinator for Music)
MUSIC HELP SUPPORT CATHEDRAL SCHOLARS
Timothy Gunter is performing all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas in a series of eight recitals which began in 2019. The next recital of the series will be Saturday, August 13, from 4–5:30 p.m. The piano sonatas of Beethoven have been regarded for more than a century as one of the hallmarks of the piano repertoire. The old saying among pianists for generations has been that if you can play all of the Beethoven piano sonatas, you should be able to play anything.

THIRD MONDAY LABYRINTH WALK AND TAIZÉ
Program: Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31, No. 2 “Tempest” Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp Major, Op. 78 Sonata No. 29 in B-flat Major, Op. 106 “Hammerklavier”
It’s back to church and back to school time for many in the parish, including 11 Cathedral Scholars. Thanks to the generosity of many parishioners, 11 young women and men, who otherwise would not be able to attend college, will be attending with the help of a scholarship from the Cathedral. The Endowment enables us to offer holistic support to these deserving scholars, with opportunities to meet not only their financial needs, but their vocational, communal, and spiritual needs as well. While the current need has been met, your contribution to the Cathedral Scholars Endowment can be matched dollar for dollar and will ensure support for this program for years to come. To learn more and contribute, visit the website at cathedralATL.org/scholarship.
Get your week off to a peaceful start with a Labyrinth Walk and Taizé this Monday, August 15. A labyrinth introduction will take place in Child Hall at 6:30, followed by a facilitated walk from 7-8 p.m. Then the Taizé prayer service starts at 8 p.m. in Mikell Chapel. Originating in Taizé, France, this simple service of scripture, music, and candlelight will bring a beautiful and prayerful close to your Monday. The Labyrinth and Taizé take place every 3rd Monday at the Cathedral. Come to one, or both – and bring a friend!
