Adult EDUCATION Sunday classes meet at 10:10 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
OLD FASHIONED SUNDAY SCHOOL
SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY Room 122 Jim Bingham and Gordon Mathis lead an ongoing small group Bible Study focusing on a particular book of the Bible for several months at a time. This year, we are reading the book of Exodus. For more information, please contact Jim Bingham at 404-373-3273 or binghamjim@ bellsouth.net.
Child Hall Canon George Maxwell continues a series focusing on what Paul, the apostle, was actually doing and why. This Sunday, we will discuss A Biography of Paul: To and From Galatia. All are welcome. You will find a light heart, warm welcome, and good coffee!
LIVING FAITH: FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE BIBLE AGAIN Room 120 Join Canon Holder and Canon Zappa as we explore what it means to live out our faith through conversation with scripture and tradition, contemporary books, and, most important, one another. This fall, we are taking a new look at an old book, the Bible, as we explore how we read it as Episcopalians and how we make sense of it today and, hopefully, fall in love with it all over again! We are using Rachel Held Evans’ book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, as a starting point for our conversation.
THE PATH OF COMPASSION Room 239 Life itself—to awaken this morning—is grace. Join us for good conversation and exchange of ideas in living and perhaps caring. Family, friends, neighbors, and perhaps others will benefit from your input. Join Canon Carolynne Williams and seminarian Caroline Carson Sundays, October 14 – November 4 as we discuss The Path of Compassion: Living with Heart, Soul, and Mind by Ron Greer.
OUR TRUE SELVES Room 240
The Rev. Dr. Thee Smith leads this series of co-listening classes that aim to enhance our ability to be fully ourselves—our true, worthy, and estimable selves. Topics can include everyday experiences and range through tough political issues as well as lifestyle choices and faith matters. For more information contact
the Rev. Dr. Smith, tsmith@cathedralATL.org or 404-365-1093.
BIBLICAL GREEK Room 356 Continuing Biblical Greek classes are offered on Sundays from 1:15–2:45 p.m. for anyone who wants to learn the basics of translation using grammar aids, lexicons, and commentaries. For more information, contact the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith at tsmith@ cathedralATL.org.
ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASS Our fall confirmation class is underway! This class is for adults who want to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church and for those who are new to the Episcopal Church or to the Cathedral and would like to learn more. We are meeting on Wednesdays, through December 5, from 6:30 – 8 p.m. in Room 120. (We will not meet on October 31 or November 21.) The confirmation service is at 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 9.

MUSIC
IN CONCERT AT THE CATHEDRAL
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12 7:30 PM Presented by Friends of Cathedral Music
FAURÉ REQUIEM ON ALL SAINTS’ SUNDAY All are invited to attend our annual Choral Eucharist on All Saints’ Sunday, November 4 at 4 p.m. This year we will observe this holy occasion with the ancient and image-rich texts of the Requiem as set to music by Gabriel Fauré. His is one of the most beloved and frequently sung works in the sacred repertoire, yet it is rarely experienced in the context for which it was written: a fully choral service of Communion in celebration of the life of someone who has passed into life eternal. The orchestra, underwritten by our Friends of Cathedral Music, will use Fauré’s original, most intimate orchestration for strings, harp, French horns, and timpani. This is music of transcendent beauty, which generations of Christians have found to offer a profound glimpse of the hope, peace, and surpassing joy of heaven. At this service we will remember by name all those friends and members of the Cathedral whose names have appeared in our prayers for the departed during the past year. Whether or not you have recently lost a loved one, it will be a meaningful opportunity to give thanks for the communion of saints who have gone before, and to contemplate the hope and promise of eternal life.
MEZZO SOPRANO EUNJOO LEE-HULS TO PERFORM This Sunday, October 28 at 3:15 p.m., the Cathedral welcomes Korean mezzo soprano Eunjoo Lee-Huls as our Sunday afternoon recitalist. Lee-Huls has performed all over North America (including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York), Europe and Asia, and has received critical accolades on all three continents. A graduate of Chugae Art University (Korea) and Licinio Reficeo Conservatory Frosinone (Italy), Lee-Huls’s program will include works by Handel, Dvořák, Bizet, Menotti, and others. We encourage everyone to come and hear this rising star of the operatic and concert stage.
VOCES8 is one of the most sensational new choirs on the international music scene, having earned its place as a firstrank chamber ensemble through stunningly beautiful video recordings for YouTube, music streaming services, and tours throughout the world. This first ever Atlanta performance by VOCES8 will be an evening not to be missed!

STEWARDSHIP Will you walk with us? In his homecoming sermon this year, Dean Sam Candler provided a powerful framework for thinking about what we have to offer to God, each other, and ourselves. As he has said many times over, we all have something to offer to God—our joy, our sadness, our voices, our quiet. And he went on to say, “Love is our offering. Love is what we give to. Love is where we make our offerings.” This community exists because of generations of parishioners that have loved, and offered, and given to the church. Walking is a great metaphor for our life at the Cathedral this year. We walk to receive communion together, many of us walk the labyrinth as a form of meditation, some of us even walk the Peachtree Road Race together. Of course, our walks together are more about the journey than the destination. We transform each other and the church by offering our steps, our paces, our gifts. We see things with

new eyes, new understandings, and new appreciation. Through all of these, we walk in love—offering what we can—presence, comforting words, financial support. This is our love in action and we hope you’ll join us!
