QUIET MORNING GATHERING Saturday, February 18 9:30–11:30 a.m. In the Lanier House Whether you are a beginner or long-time practitioner, or simply curious about a new practice, we hope you will join us for a quiet morning of centering prayer. Centering prayer is a practice that helps us rest and be grounded in the presence of God. Led by Cathedral parishioners Will Traynor and Jan Wyatt, the morning will include an introduction to centering prayer, along with sessions of sitting and walking prayer. Coffee and light snacks will be available. Please RSVP to Cathy Zappa, czappa@ stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1043, and mark your calendar for future Quiet Mornings on Saturdays, April 1 and May 6. LENTEN QUIET DAY: THE FULLNESS OF JOY Join Atlanta-based Christian author Carl McColman for a Lenten Quiet Day on Saturday, March 4 on the works of Julian of Norwich. Julian of Norwich, a 14th century Englishwoman, was a visionary and mystic who wrote beautifully about the love and compassion of God. Her writings are filled with shimmering imagery of the God who comes to us through nature, through grace, and most of all through love. This Quiet Day will be a time for reflecting on Julian’s wise teachings about prayer and contemplation as we seek to more fully respond to the God who is infinite Love. McColman’s books include Befriending Silence, Answering the Contemplative Call, and Christian Mystics: 108 Seers, Saints and Sages. The Quiet Day will take place in the Lanier House on the Cathedral campus, 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., Saturday, March 4. The cost is $20 and includes lunch. Please register before February 27 online or by contacting Jeannie Mahood, 404-365-1034 or jmahood@ stphilipscathedral.org.

RISE UP FOR THE SOUP-ER BOWL! Every year at the Cathedral, Super Bowl Sunday becomes SOUP-er Bowl Sunday, as our youth encourage us to bring cans and donations to benefit Buckhead Christian Ministry. But this year, as you know, is different! Sure, we’re all used to the New England Patriots making it far in the playoffs, but our Atlanta Falcons are in the big game this year! So, we’ve challenged Trinity Church in Boston to a friendly donation competition: • On Sunday morning, February 5, our parishioners bring in canned goods and cash or check donations for Buckhead Christian Ministry; our youth will be manning the bins in the Narthex. Trinity parishioners will do the same for their local ministry. • At the end of the day, we’ll tally up all the donations. Whoever brings the most, wins! • And, of course, there’s a little wager: the losing parish will send a gift of local goodies — a batch of Flora & Flour’s perfect buttermilk biscuits, or local treat from Boston. Check out our Facebook page to find out who wins! Go Falcons! Rise up to support the work of Buckhead Christian Ministry!
FEBRUARY 5 IS SCOUT SUNDAY Scout Sunday celebrates the founding of the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. In 2017, the Cathedral’s Boy Scout Troop 74 is also celebrating its own 66th birthday. It is a tradition for the scouts of Troop 74 to observe Scout Sunday on February 5 by worshiping with their families and serving as ushers at the 8:45 a.m. service. All Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and Scout leaders are invited to join this service in uniform, regardless of their troop or pack affiliation.
