The CATHEDRAL TIMES The weekly newsletter of the Cathedral of St. Philip · Serving Atlanta and the World · April 28, 2019
EASTER IS HERE! By the Very Rev. Sam Candler Dean of the Cathedral Yes, I know we had a glorious Easter celebration here at the Cathedral. Thank you! Thank you for helping us, no matter what your part was, in celebrating Resurrection and New Life here at the Cathedral. With all the ways that people celebrate New Year’s observances these days, I believe Easter should be one of our great New Year’s celebrations. Happy New Year! Christ is risen, and the world is changed! And Easter continues! Join us this week for our continuing celebration of Easter! This Sunday, Sam Candler will preach at the 8:45 service, on the Second Sunday of Easter. That day always features St. Thomas in the gospel reading – Thomas, the unfortunate disciple who missed the first meeting, and who said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.’” ( John 20:25) – Thomas, who would later say, “My Lord and my God!” ( John 20:28). Then, at the Dean’s Forum this Sunday, at 10:10, we will welcome a special guest, Gary Shilling, the founder and president of the Episcopal Preaching Foundation. Come hear him speak about he was inspired to devote time and resources to the advancement of preaching in the Episcopal Church. He sponsors several conferences a year, for new preachers in the Episcopal Church. Our own parishioner, Everett Puri, is on that board of directors. See page 3 for more information. Then (still in the morning!), we will celebrate confirmations at the 11:15 service! Bishop Don Wimberly will be with us at that service only, to confirm and to preach. We have over fifty young people and adults who have been preparing for confirmation this year. Pray for them and welcome them into mature commitment to the Christian faith. Well, the season of Easter is officially fifty days long, too. For the next six Sundays (the Easter season contains seven Sundays in all), we will be celebrating. One Sunday will be Youth Sunday. On another Sunday, we will hear about next year’s beneficiary of the Cathedral Antiques Show. On another Sunday, we will present checks from the Thrift House Follies, and from the Antiques Show itself. Christ is risen, and alive, at the Cathedral of St. Philip. Come help us celebrate new life!

clergy to work on their preaching skills, and how the foundation is helping preachers to address the challenges of ministering to today’s congregations that are often divided, distracted, and looking to online media sources for direction.

IMMIGRATION EDUCATION AND DIALOGUE
GIVE THANKS WITH UTO
The Diocese of Atlanta is hosting an educational session and dialogue about immigration in Child Hall on Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The session will start with an overview of the U.S. immigration system, common immigration myths and concerns, and a description of what immigration reform could look like. Many U.S.-born Americans are not well
INGATHERING MAY 12
versed on the U.S. immigration system; hence, it’s important to cover this “head” knowledge before engaging in dialogue to get into the heart of the matter. Next, the session will bring people together in small groups to engage in guided dialogue about immigration. The dialogue session uses a short film about immigrant journeys and challenges and will include community members who can share their immigration experience as well as their experience working with immigrant communities. The event is $10 per person and includes lunch. A donation will also be taken to support the ministry of El Refugio and Just Faith Ministries in their work with immigrants. Register at episcopalatlanta.org/events.
Every day we have so many blessings that come our way. Let us rejoice and give thanks this spring by participating in our Cathedral’s United Thank Offering. UTO has been a tradition since 1889 and supports the missions and ministries of the Episcopal Church. Every cent collected fulfills diocesan grant requests. In the last 130 years, UTO has awarded 5,257 grants. UTO is entrusted to receive the offerings, and to distribute 100% of what is collected to support innovative mission and ministry throughout The Episcopal Church and Provinces of the Anglican Communion. Some recent grants have benefitted projects in the Diocese of Atlanta. For instance, in 2015 UTO gave a grant to Rainbox Village in Duluth to provide start-up positions for the Rainbow Village Early Childhood Development Program. Here are some ways you and your family can participate: • Pick up a Blue Box in the Atrium and place it in a prominent place in your home. • Every night, think of one thing for which you are truly grateful for that day and then insert some coins or dollars in the Blue Box to express your gratitude. The United Thank Offering invites you to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for your blessings, and make an offering for each blessing. Through UTO, your blessings become blessings for others. Be grateful each day and share your gratitude by putting some coins into your Blue Box, which are available throughout the Cathedral this month.
