THE NEW FALL LINE-UP
August 14, 2016
Welcome home! We hope that you enjoyed your summer—made some memories and enjoyed a different pace for a time. We have been working hard to assemble a new team for the upcoming program year, and we are very excited about what we have been able to put together. You are going to see some new faces doing familiar things, and some familiar faces doing new things. Wallace Marsh has added pastoral care to his portfolio. He is now the Canon for Pastoral Care and Worship. Wallace has been working on new ideas for pastoral care groups and for classes dedicated to pastoral care topics. He has also been talking to the Cathedral Counseling Center about offering programs and workshops that focus on transitions that we all experience in life.
Juan Sandoval will be taking on additional duties. You know Juan as our deacon, who has focused particularly on the community that has formed around our Spanish-speaking service. But, Juan has also demonstrated a heart for pastoral care generally and will be doing more in that area.
Jeannie Mahood can do anything, of course! But, we have asked her to focus more of her time on pastoral care. She is now the Program Coordinator for Pastoral Care and Spirituality. Ciara Rowley picked up some of the things that Jeannie was doing to support our liturgical ministries. She will keep most of her existing responsibilities for children and youth ministries. Ciara’s new title is Program Coordinator for Education and Worship.
Maggie Paul has moved up to take on responsibility for our youth programs and will be developing new programs focused on young adults. Her title will be Director of Youth and Young Adults. Maggie has gotten off to a quick start, hiring two new youth interns. Meg Jones is one of the new interns. You may have met her at Kanuga. She had been on the job almost 48 hours before she moved into the youth cabin and joined into the fun! Meg grew up in Newnan, attending St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, participated in many diocesan youth events throughout middle and high school, and served as a chaperone while in college at Appalachian State University.
Jacob Nastruz is the other intern. We were so excited about him that we met him at the airport and offered him the job while he was changing planes in Atlanta on his way home after a year of service in South Africa with the Young Adult Service Corps. Jacob grew up in Urbandale, Iowa, where he was involved in his church’s youth program, as well as programs within the Diocese of Iowa.
Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim. From this week’s lectionary Psalm 80:1
Lisa McNamara has joined us as our Director of Children’s Ministries. Lisa will be responsible for Mothers Morning Out, Godly Play, special events, Week of Wonder, and all of our other programing for children from birth through the fifth grade. Although Lisa is coming to us from a corporate position, she knows what she’s getting into. She started the Mothers Morning Out, Godly Play, and Vacation Bible School programs at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church.
Janie Harris is our new Program Coordinator for Membership and Stewardship. Janie graduated from the University of Kentucky, and comes to us from a marketing and public relations position with the Atlanta office of Jackson Spalding.
So, as you can see, it’s been a good summer for the Cathedral! There are new programs, but more importantly there are some really good new people. Take a moment in the next several weeks and welcome the new faces that you will see on staff.
We are looking forward to the new energy and creativity that they offer, and the new ways to be in community that they will provide to all of us. Welcome home! It’s a new year, and it’s going to be a good one.

As a mother of two young boys, Alex (7) and Sam (3), I am always looking for a balance between keeping myself spiritually awake and helping my sons begin to develop spiritual toolkits of their own. For me, the foundation for each is the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Dawn is my time. Looking for a way to pray in community but also without having to leave the house, a few years ago I came across a daily podcast of Morning Prayer produced by an Episcopal parish in Garrett County, Maryland. I like to rise while it is still dark and pray with that podcast, imagining so many others doing exactly the same thing on their own porches, or before their own kitchen windows— I am praying physically alone, but also in community. I close the day praying with the boys. We take the BCP Compline liturgy (p.127) as our base. In summer and on weekends during the school year, we often read it completely, rotating the role of Officiant from night to night to keep them particularly engaged. One of the beauties of this liturgy though (especially as an introduction to daily prayer) is its adaptability to abbreviation. On long hard days, it is easily shortened, in a variety of ways. It ends with the Song of Simeon accompanied by an Antiphon. Sometimes, that Antiphon alone is enough. Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace. —Mary Caroline Cravens If you missed previous issues, check out the Prayer Corner archive at stphilipscathedral.org/prayercorner.

CHILDREN The Nurturing Center is open for children three and younger from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service each week. Beginning next Sunday, August 21, Children’s Chapel takes place during the 8:45 a.m. service as an option for parents and children who are not yet ready to experience the full liturgy together, though children are always welcome in “big” church. Children three years through third grade begin in church with their parents, follow the children’s acolytes and leaders out at the Sequence Hymn, then rejoin their parents at the Offertory. Two-year-olds attend their own chapel service, which begins at 8:45 a.m. Parents who would like their children two years old and younger to join them for communion may go pick them up from Room 227 at the Peace.
