DAILY EUCHARIST

Those of you reading these words probably know this already, but it is worth reminding ourselves: The Cathedral of St. Philip is very, very blessed.

Our richest blessing surely has to be our people; our congregation, our community. We are nothing, and we are surely not a church, without a very committed congregation. We—You!—are the ones who show up. We —You!—are the ones who pledge resources and money to the ministry of this place. We—You!—are the ones who shine with the light of Christ in this sacred community. We are much more than simply a building, or a set of programs, or a set of liturgies. We are a living and committed community. Thank you!

But I think of blessing today because I am thinking of our services of daily Eucharist. Because our Cathedral parish is blessed with solid resources of both clergy and space, we are one of the few Episcopal churches in the country who can afford to offer services of daily Eucharist. Maybe some of you do not even realize this feature of our daily life! I recommend the practice!

Yes, of course, we offer many different Eucharist services on Sunday, from 7:45 a.m. through 5 p.m. The word, “Eucharist” means “Thanksgiving;” and “Eucharist” is our way of referring to “The Lord’s Supper,” “Holy Communion,” or even “Mass.” That grand service of Holy Eucharist is our way of giving thanks to God, our way of offering ourselves to God, so that God can bless those very offerings and then return them to us in the consecrated bread and wine of Eucharist. When we receive those offerings back, as the Body and Blood of Christ, then we become, sacramentally, the Body of Christ serving and going out into the world. It is a grand and liturgical mystery, at the heart of our common life.

The Holy Eucharist is the principal act of worship on Sundays, the Lord’s Day; and the Church recommends daily services of Morning Prayer, and Evening Prayer. But, there is another spiritual devotion, which many practice. That spiritual practice is daily Eucharist. Yes, here at the Cathedral of St. Philip, we are able to celebrate Holy Eucharist Monday through Friday of every week. Every day of the week, a different priest on the staff celebrates Eucharist and delivers a short homily.

I admit that I am thinking of this habit right now, because—as I write this—my day is tomorrow, a Tuesday. Tuesdays are usually my weekdays to celebrate Eucharist. That means that I must prepare. I note the lessons assigned to that weekday. I note whether the day is a feast day of the Church. I note whether I might use the lessons many of us have already heard this past Sunday. Each priest has the freedom on weekdays to use lessons from one of several sources. And, each of us, in our turn, prepares a set of words—a homily—that we trust God will use for the edification of the community.

I recommend these Daily Eucharist services to all of you reading this article. Here at the Cathedral, daily Eucharist is celebrated at 12:15 p.m. in the St. Mary’s Chapel (above the Atrium) Monday through Friday. Sometimes, there are as many as 15-25 people there. More often, there are anywhere from 3-10 people.

But, most importantly, God is there. It is a simple service, but a powerful one. Stopping during the day for this most ancient of Christian practices, Holy Eucharist, reminds us that God is present for us every day, in the midst of whatever else is consuming us, or demanding things of us. Daily Eucharist is a place to bring our sorrows and concerns, and certainly our illnesses and pains (the Friday Daily Eucharist is particularly crafted as a Healing Eucharist).

Yes, God is present every day at the Cathedral of St. Philip, and giving thanks is a blessing. I invite you to give thanks with us every day of the week. Thanks!

Sunday ADULT EDUCATION

OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOL

Child HallThis Sunday, Canon George Maxwell continues a series on The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis that will continue through Lent. As always, we’ll offer a warm welcome and great coffee. We look forward to seeing you there.

CO-LISTENING AT THE CATHEDRAL AND BEYOND

Room 239To be our best we need to have our minds clear of distressing thoughts and feelings. That includes little upsets, differing points of view, and major life traumas. Good news! We all possess a ready resource for doing this: taking turns listening to each another without interruption. Yet rarely do we organize our relationships and encounters to use this simple and remarkably effective aid: releasing each other’s listening potential.

That’s what this class is for: the theory and practice of organizing effective ‘listening exchanges’ that can keep our minds clear. Two occasions for exploring ‘Co-Listening’ are coming up at the Cathedral: Sunday mornings at 10:10 a.m. in Room 239, and Tuesday evenings, March 6, 13, and 20, from 6-8 p.m. in Walthour Library. Classes are led by the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith, [email protected] or 404-365-1093.

LIVING FAITH

Room 120 Through the season of Lent, we are exploring what Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish mystic and founder of the Jesuits, has to say to us today. We are using his Spiritual Exercises as a guide to explore Ignatian practices of prayer and discernment and to seek to hear God’s call for us. This series is led by Dr. Kyle Lambelet, a new Cathedral parishioner who teaches at Candler School of Theology, with Canons Wallace Marsh and Cathy Zappa.

YOUNG ADULT LENTEN BIBLE STUDY

Room 240 Young adults are invited to a special Bible study led by seminarian Caroline Carson and parishioner David Boyd. Join them as they take a look at the Gospel of John.

SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY

Room 122Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead an ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on the book of Genesis. For more information, please contact Jim Bingham at 404-373-3273 or [email protected].

THE ENJOYMENT OF BIBLICAL GREEK

Room 356 (1:15 p.m.)Also open to beginners, this class includes long-term members who use translation aids including lexicons and commentaries to enjoy how probing the Greek of New Testament texts adds nuance and depth to reading Holy Scripture. For more information, contact the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith.

Unless otherwise noted, these adult classes meet from 10:10–11 a.m.

ADULT CONFIRMATION

Adults seeking to be confirmed, received, reaffirmed, or just (re)acquainted with the Episcopal Church are invited to join Canon Lauren Holder during the Sunday School hour, 10:10–11 a.m., March 4-April 22 for adult confirmation class. This promises to be a time of faith exploration, discernment and fellowship. We will kick off with a joint confirmation/newcomers coffee time in St. Mary's Chapel on March 4. The adult confirmation class will then continue to meet in Room 133 through April 22, gearing up for a Confirmation service on April 29. Contact Canon Holder, 404-365-1036 or [email protected], if you have any questions!

Newcomers! Come enjoy coffee and refreshments, learn more about the Episcopal faith, and hear about different opportunities to get involved at the Cathedral this Sunday, March 4 at 10:10 a.m. in St. Mary's Chapel. Even if you’re not planning to attend the confirmation class, join us for this first one so we can introduce ourselves!

SPIRITUALITY

PRAYER CORNER – CHILDREN'S CHAPEL

On Sundays during the 8:45 a.m. service in the Nave, three groups of children experience the Word in their own children’s chapel services, led by a group of dedicated and loving adults in the education wing.

Divided by age, the two’s, three’s through Kindergarten, and first through third graders meet to share their own experience of God’s word. The message from week to week is the same: God loves you so much he sent his only son Jesus to teach people how to love each other. God's gifts and grace are present throughout your life and the church is a loving and wonderful place for each of you.

The prayers and songs resonate with enthusiastic children and the adults find it contagious. The teachers find the joy and enthusiasm of the children both draining and reinvigorating, yet they most often discover that chapel is a time in the week to pause and to be present. A time that rarely goes perfectly but is filled with the presence of God.

Anyone interested in joining this team of dedicated teachers may contact Sara Chapman, [email protected].—Kim Flanagan and Sara Chapman

RAISING YOUTH SERIES:

WHAT ADULTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH

The Cathedral Counseling Center’s Caroline Paris will lead a discussion on the mental health of teenagers and college students this Sunday, March 4, from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Gould Room. The discussion will focus on communicating with adolescents and getting them to communicate with you. Other topics addressed will include social media, stress, depression, grief, and suicide. Please RSVP to Canon Cathy Zappa, [email protected], or Maggie Paul, [email protected].

YOUTH Ministries

INFORMATION DESK VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Perhaps you have noticed the light is always ON at the Information Desk in the Atrium, signifying that the Cathedral is always open and welcoming. Volunteers staff the desk, now referred to as the Welcome Center, to extend greetings to parishioners and visitors, providing information and direction. Additionally, general calls coming into the Cathedral are answered here and directed as needed. Join this fun ministry by contacting Ivory Richardson, [email protected] or 404-365-1037.

Volunteers are needed to work a shift from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The desk is covered Monday through Friday, so volunteers can pick the day that best suits their schedule. We can be very flexible and work out a plan that works best. Please consider joining this team of wonderful volunteers.

In particular, the agency collaborates with local church and ecumenical partners in nearly 40 countries to help communities create long-term development strategies and to rebuild after disasters. In 2009, the General Convention of The Episcopal Church designated Lent as a time to support, remember, and pray for ERD’s work and witness.

You can connect more deeply with their ministry by using ERD’s Lenten Meditations, available in Spanish and English, which will be distributed on Sundays in the narthex.

Episcopal Church WOMEN

On Saturday, March 24, the Episcopal Church Women of the Cathedral and Northside United Methodist Church’s Women’s Ministry present Awake to Wellness, a women’s retreat with Dr. Cathy Snapp and Kitty Crenshaw, authors of The Hidden Life Awakened. Cathy and Kitty will awaken our deep desire to live as God designed us, wholehearted and well-balanced—body, mind, and spirit.

In our three sessions throughout the day, we will talk about brain and body health in the context of awakening; about the brain’s capacity for renewal and transformation through focused attention; and about how a deeper awakening to our true self—our life hidden with Christ—will integrate within us a powerful spirit in its truest form.

The cost is $50/person ($45/person for tables of 8) and includes lunch from Simply Fresh. All proceeds go to Ignatian Spirituality Project, non-profit offering spiritual retreats to homeless women. Register online at stphilipscathedral.org/awake or contact Caroline Wallace, [email protected], for more information.

FREE LECTURE ON PHYLLIS TICKLE IN MAY

Before Phyllis Tickle died at 81 in September 2015, she named Jon M. Sweeney her official biographer. Sweeney is coming to the Cathedral Book Store to give a lecture on the life and career of this extraordinary woman. He will discuss her written work over fifty years (poetry, plays, literary, spiritual, historical, and theological), her marriage and family, and life on the Farm in Lucy, the subject of much of her oeuvre. Then there's Tickle’s work as an academic and book publisher in Tennessee; her impact as the founding editor in religion at Publishers Weekly during the boom of spiritual writing and interfaith understanding in the 1990s; relationships with Gwendolyn Brooks, John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, Brian McLaren, and Desmond Tutu; and the impact she had on the communities where all of her writing, scholarship, and advocacy has seen the greatest impact: the hundreds of thousands who took on fixed-hour prayer due to her “The Divine Hours” series; the Episcopal Church USA writ large; LGBTQ Christians awaiting full acceptance; and Emergence Christianity, for which she served as historian, forecaster, and champion.

If you would like to join us for the free lecture and book signing on Thursday, May 3 at 7 p.m. at the Cathedral, please reserve your seat on the events page at cathedralbookstore.org or by stopping by the store. This lecture is made possible by the generous support of our Book Fellows program.

On Saturday, March 17, modern day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer, and internationally known retreat leader Cynthia Bourgeault will explore the themes of her book, The Heart of Centering Prayer, at the Cathedral.

This day-long conference will include lectures, discussion and question and answer, and of course, time for centering prayer itself. The cost is $50/person and will include lunch. Register online at stphilipscathedral.org/spirituality or contact Jeannie Mahood, [email protected] or 404-365-1031, for more information.

Cynthia has been a long-time advocate of the meditative practice of centering prayer and has worked closely with fellow teachers and colleagues including Thomas Keating, Bruno Barnhart, and Richard Rohr. Cynthia has actively participated in numerous inter-spiritual dialogues and events with luminaries and leaders such as A.H. Almaas, Kabir Helminski, Swami Atmarupananda, and Rami Shapiro.

Enjoy a weekend full of spirituality and fellowship with other Cathedral parishioners and clergy. Kanuga is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and experience God with the beloved community.

The weekend includes old favorites such as s'mores, hiking, rocking on the porch, ice cream, bluegrass and, of course, the famous Kanuga toast. We will offer an adult program on Saturday morning and enjoy worshiping together in the informal chapel on Sunday. Meals are served family-style in the lodge and accommodations are available in historic cottages or the hotel-style inn.
