WOMEN’S LENTEN RETREAT: ALTARS AND ALTERED

March 17-19, 2023

Cathedral women, along with women friends or relatives, are invited to attend our annual Lenten Retreat, March 17-19 at St. Mary’s Sewanee in Tennessee. As we weather transformations in our lives, it is important to remember and revisit our sacred core with intention. This weekend we will explore altars. What are they for? How do they ground us? What can they look like? And we will build altars—sacred spaces to visit within ourselves and outside ourselves. In the beautiful setting of St. Mary’s Sewanee, there will be plenty of time to rest, play, enjoy the outdoors, and be in fellowship with God and one another.

The retreat will be led by Canon Lauren Holder, with Canon Cathy Zappa. The cost for a single occupancy is $320 or $260 for a double. The registration deadline is February 23. Contact Canon Holder, lholder@cathedralATL.org, or Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@cathedralATL.org with questions. For more information and to register, visit cathedralATL.org/spirituality.

LENTEN QUIET DAY WITH DR. LERITA COLEMAN BROWN

Walking in the World with Inner Authority

Saturday, March 18, 9:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. During these times of misinformation, disinformation, and personal attacks, how can we walk confidently in the world? Both Howard Thurman and Richard Rohr suggest we become aware of and engage our inner authority. Join us for this Lenten Quiet Day, our “wilderness time,” to ponder our relationship with inner authority and its link to the restoration of the self God created. The day will include time in silence and meditation, journal reflections, walking the labyrinth, and other expressive activities.

Lerita Coleman Brown, PhD, Professor Emerita of Psychology, Agnes Scott College, is a spiritual director/companion, retreat leader, author, and speaker. She promotes contemplative spirituality, the living wisdom of Howard Thurman, and uncovering the peace and joy in one’s heart. Lerita’s new book, What Makes You Come Alive: A Spiritual Walk with Howard Thurman was recently published by Broadleaf Press. Lerita is a most grateful heart (28 years) and kidney (17 years) transplant recipient and survivor of several medical ordeals.

The Quiet Day will take place in the Lanier House on the Cathedral campus, 9:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Saturday, March 18 The cost is $20 and includes lunch. Please register before March 13 by contacting Jeannie Mahood, jmahood@cathedralATL.org

Stewardship

CHILDREN’S STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

This year we are encouraging families throughout the Cathedral to make Stewardship a family habit! Stewardship chairs Ron and Kate Henry will lead the efforts in educating Cathedral children on the basic roles that money serves – spending on the here and now, saving for the future, and sharing with others in need. As part of the Lenten season, we are encouraging children to make their own pledges, sharing with the Cathedral community.

Pledging allows us – and you – to encourage a spirit of generosity and opens the conversation of sharing what God has given us. Children who submit a pledge form will receive their very own pledge envelopes to share their contributions during the Offertory at Children’s Chapel or during the main service at “Big Church.” You can visit cathedralATL.org/kidspledge to learn more and find helpful resources.
