WELCOME TABBI MORRIS!
We are thrilled to announce that Tabbi Morris has been chosen as the next manager of the Cathedral Bookstore, effective March 13.
Although originally from Atlanta, Tabbi only returned to the city last summer after working in Florida and California. Her background includes over 20 years of executive management in luxury brands, non-profit organizations and high end firms. She is very eager to embrace the unique ministry of our bookstore and happy to reactivate her membership at the Cathedral.
Tabbi relieves Jen Waters, who has been the interim manager on a volunteer basis since last June. She has steered the bookstore to a financially stable position, increased volunteers and improved many existing systems. Tabbi will reap many of these rewards and inherit a beautiful store with a strong and devoted team of fabulous volunteers. Please thank Jen when you see her and welcome Tabbi to the Cathedral!

CHILDREN’S Ministry
This year we will continue following the Israelites after they traveled through the wilderness making their way to the Promised Land. In the Promised Land, unexpected journeys, epic battles, secret spies, and other surprises are in store as we follow God’s pursuit of his people.
Week of Wonder is a traditional week of Vacation Bible School for children ages 4 – 5th grade. We will enjoy the simple and relaxed joys that summer brings, using nature, art, music, play, wonder, and of course, popsicles.
The Nurturing Center will also be open for younger siblings! Register at cathedralATL.org/weekofwonder.

POSTMASTER: Dated Material. Please deliver by March 23, 2024
One of the most profound Sunday 4 o’clock choral services of the year, A Meditation on the Passion of Christ, with Carols, employs lessons and carols, spirituals, anthems, motets, and congregational hymns to illuminate the Passion of Christ, which is retold using biblical narratives from Mark, Matthew, and John, sung to some of the most ancient plainchant known to the Church. It is a deeply meaningful way to step back from the hectic pace of life and enter into Holy Week. The service begins at 4:00 p.m. this Sunday, March 24, with prelude music beginning at 3:40. See page 2 for detailed music listing.
