Guest Preacher This Sunday: The Rev. Adam L. DawkinsThis Sunday, we are thrilled to welcome back The Rev. Adam L. Dawkins as our guest preacher. Many in our community will fondly remember Adam from his time serving as our Assistant Curate here at the Cathedral. Adam completed his Master of Divinity at the University of the South, School of Theology in Sewanee, TN, and was ordained, subsequently serving our community before moving to Los Angeles, where he now serves as the Rector of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Westwood. We are delighted to have him return to the Cathedral pulpit this Sunday! |

Godly Play Restarts!Godly Play returns this Sunday, September 13! Children (ages about 2.5 - 8) are invited to come downstairs to the Park Room for a Godly Play* lesson. The children's time starts at 10:30am in the Park Room and they will come back upstairs and rejoin parents for communion. *Godly Play is a beautiful and thoughtful Montessori-informed approach that nurtures children's spirituality as they engage with the stories and sacraments of the church. It was developed by the Rev. Dr. Jerome Berryman, an American Anglican priest. |

The Season of Creation: a reflectionThough seemingly benign in its simplicity that the earth actually belongs to God, or as eco-feminist theologian Dr. Sallie McFague contended, ‘the earth is God’s body’, and not ours to use, runs counter to popular belief. Much of western history, religion and culture has been... |

Alongside Hope: Light for St. Luke's HospitalSt. Luke's Hospital is located in Nablus in the West Bank, under the Palestinian Authority. It serves a population of more than 455,000 people, providing life-saving healthcare and operating as a vital maternity hospital for many in the Palestinian community. Frequent power outages make it difficult to provide consistent, safe medical care. Reliable electricity is essential for neonatal care, oxygen machines, operating rooms, and other critical hospital services. Bring light to St. Luke's through the gift of the sun. Alongside Hope is raising funds to install solar panels so the hospital can have a dependable source of electricity. As part of this effort, the Wild Ride campaign is helping to fund 70 solar panels. Each panel costs $865, which includes installation, maintenance, and associated costs. Our community hopes to raise $2,000. Every donation, no matter the size, will help provide reliable power for this essential hospital. Thanks to a generous donor, every gift to Light for St. Luke's Wild Ride donations will be matched dollar for dollar. We are taking on the "Watt's Possible" challenge by walking, cycling, running, embroidering, and using our many talents to support this important project. Image above is from our community walk which took place this past Saturday, August 29. |
