SPIRITUALITY REGISTER BY MONDAY FOR 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, 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.
2018 WOMEN’S LENTEN RETREAT Icons Of Grace: Shining the Light of God’s Love Through Our Stories 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. The retreat leader will be the Rev. Beth Knowlton, Rector of St. Mark’s in San Antonio
(and former Canon for Liturgy and Worship here at the Cathedral!). Register online at stphilipscathedral.org/lentenretreat or contact Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@stphilipscathedral.org or 404-365-1031, for further information.
A DAY WITH CYNTHIA BOURGEAULT PRESENTED BY THE CATHEDRAL AND CONTEMPLATIVE OUTREACH ATLANTA Modern day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer, and internationally known retreat leader, Cynthia Bourgeault divides her time between solitude at her seaside hermitage in Maine, and a demanding schedule traveling globally to teach and spread the recovery of the Christian contemplative and wisdom path. On Saturday, March 17, Cynthia 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, jmahood@ stphilipscathedral.org 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. Cynthia is a member of the GPIW (Global Peace Initiative for Women) Contemplative Council and recipient of the 2014 Contemplative Voices Award from Shalem Institute.

Cathedral BOOK STORE 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, cfwallace2@stphilipscathedral.org, for more information.

OUTREACH JOIN THE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TEAM

Our next Habitat home will be built on Saturdays (and one Thursday) from March 10 through April 28. We welcome past builders and new builders. If you have never built, come be part of this exciting ministry. No skills required, just your enthusiasm. We will give you the tools and training that you need to make a contribution. You can sign up in the Atrium on Sundays beginning February 11 or contact John Champion, 404 307-0817 or jchampion@bellsouth.net, to get additional information. Also, you can sign up online through our Habitat site at www.stphilip.atlantahabitat.volunteerhub.com.

We'll kick the season off with a dinner in the Gould Room on Sunday, February 25; join us and meet some of our team.
February is food drive month at the Cathedral as St. Anne’s Guild reaches out to you for donations of food and/ or checks of $20 or more in support of Buckhead Christian Ministry (BCM). Please stop by our table in the Atrium any Sunday in February between 9:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. for a shopping list of food items or make your check payable to the Cathedral with “BCM Food Drive” on the memo line. BCM helps families of the working poor in our community who do not have adequate resources when faced with emergencies, illness, or layoffs. Currently, in addition to food, BCM has a tremendous need for cases of bottled water, personal hygiene products, and baby supplies such as disposable diapers, all in sizes that can easily be carried on public transportation. BCM provides various forms of assistance to an average of 40 to 50 clients per day. Your help makes a difference in so many lives!

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.
JEWELRY DONATIONS NEEDED FOR BENEFIT SALE St. Veronica’s Guild is collecting vintage, estate, and contemporary costume jewelry for a glitzy and glamorous sale in September.

LENTEN WEDNESDAY PROGRAM Join us from 6–7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, February 21 and 28, and March 7, 14, and 21 for dinner and conversation. Wednesday nights in Lent, Canon Lauren Holder will facilitate a book study of Shauna Niequists’ Present Over Perfect. Niequist writes: “A few years ago, I found myself exhausted and isolated, my soul and body sick. I was tired of being tired, burned out on busy. And, it seemed almost everyone I talked with was in the same boat: longing for connection, meaning, depth, but settling for busy.” Her book is a series of essays that invite us to consider what life might look like if we strip away the self-perpetuated pressure to excel in all things, and instead to truly excel in what we deem most important. Lent is an ideal time to be introspective and intentional about what is running us into the ground, and what we can chose to run after instead. Childcare, Godly Play, and youth activities will all be provided—all you have to do is be present. Find Present Over Perfect in the Cathedral Book Store, or listen on your commute with Audible. Join us, even if you have not read the book. Dinner is $8 for adults and youth, and $5 for children ages 4–12. Children 3 and under eat free. RSVP at stphilipscathedral.org/present. 6 p.m. Dinner 6:30 p.m. Programming • Adults will meet in the Gould Room. • Youth will color through the Psalms. • Children will talk about present-but-notperfect biblical characters in Godly Play. •
