2018 WOMEN’S LENTEN RETREAT
OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOL
Icons are vehicles through which we can see beyond or through an image to more deeply experience the holy. Our experiences can serve a similar purpose when reflected on together in community. Join the women of the Cathedral on the 2018 Lenten Retreat, March 2-4 at Kanuga in Hendersonville, North Carolina, as we use the stories of scripture, our own lives, poetry, images, a contemplative art offering, and silence to more deeply cull the graces God gifts us. Plenty of time for rest, fellowship,
Child Hall Walking Through the Wardrobe: A Discussion About God, as Described in The Chronicles of Narnia Canon George Maxwell leads this class, which is in the midst of its four-week look at The Chronicles of Narnia. C.S. Lewis wrote the acclaimed children’s series to tell the Christian story without using explicit religious language. We will look at how Lewis depicts God acting in the world, and how we might find and respond to the voice of God that Lewis describes. As always, we’ll offer a warm welcome and great coffee. We look forward to seeing you there.

OUTREACH VOLUNTEER FOR THE ATLANTA POINT-IN-TIME HOMELESS COUNT Each year the Continuum of Care, a coalition of organizations working to end homelessness in Atlanta, spearheads a Point-InTime Homeless Count. This survey of people who are homeless is crucial for tracking the success of local programs to end homelessness and essential for planning future efforts. This year, the Cathedral community will lend support to this important work and we need volunteers to work with a team leader and other volunteers on the night of Monday, January 22. Our job will be to survey the unsheltered homeless who are sleeping outdoors on sidewalks, in parks and encampments, and under bridges. We will collect demographic characteristics, homeless experiences and history, and other information that is vital for meeting federal requirements, attracting philanthropic investors, and tracking the success of local efforts to end homelessness in metro Atlanta. The data collected will also help the Continuum of Care in its planning for effective housing and service interventions to prevent and end homelessness in the area. Sign up at stphilipscathedral.org/outreach or contact Canon Cathy Zappa, czappa@stphilipscathedral.org, for more information.

Cathedral BOOK STORE HART READERS RESUME IN FEBRUARY The Cathedral Book Store’s Hart Readers will host the Rev. Peter Wallace as he discusses his new book, Getting to Know Jesus (Again). The discussion, followed by a book signing, takes place on Thursday, February 1, at 6:30 p.m. in the Gould Room. Ensure your place at the talk by reserving a seat online at cathedralbookstore.org on the News & Events page or stop by and tell us that you will be attending. About Getting to Know Jesus (Again): Lent is a journey of the mind, heart, and spirit from the ashes of humanity to the cross and beyond—to the empty tomb. The central figure in that journey is Jesus. But who was he really? Why did he come and minister among us? How can his teachings enhance our lives? Why did he die? What does his resurrection really mean? These are questions that spur believers of all ages to seek a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Son of Man in their lives. In this collection of fifty-two meditations and additional resources for spiritual growth, Peter Wallace guides readers through the life and ministry, the words and works of Jesus, with the goal of getting to know him in fresh new ways that encourage a stronger faith and a spirited engagement with the world around us.

SPIRITUALITY LENTEN QUIET DAY: WANDERING IN THE WILDERNESS – WITHOUT GETTING LOST The first thing that Jesus did after his baptism was to follow the Spirit into the wilderness. He spent forty days there dueling with the devil over whether and how he would engage the institutional powers of his day. His choices would determine what he would do and who he would be. We are called during the season of Lent to follow the Spirit into our own wilderness. It’s a time to think again about the choices that we are making in our lives. Are they drawing us closer to God or driving us farther away? Canon George Maxwell will lead us in several contemplative practices that are designed to guide us in this discernment. The Quiet Day will take place in the Lanier House on the Cathedral campus, 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m., Saturday, February 17. The cost is $20 and includes lunch. Please register before February 12 at stphilipscathedral.org/ quietday or by contacting Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@ stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1031. We look forward to having you with us.
