Cathedral Podcasts – Did You Know?

Posted on

You might not be so interested, but maybe your parents or grandparents would be. Why not show them how easy it can be? Did you know we podcast both worship and sermons each Sunday and there are many ways to listen?

1) Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Siri enables devices. If you have an Amazon Alexa device, for example, simply saying: "Alexa, play Christ Church Cathedral Audio" will play the latest Sunday podcast. Listen to up to two months of recorded worship and sermon podcasts for free.

2) On the Cathedral website, click the Watch and Listen tab and the most recent podcasts are listed on the left. Click "see more" for the whole list.

3) If you use Apple or Google podcasts, TuneIn Radio, Podchaser or Spotify podcasts, you can subscribe to receive new episodes when they become available or listen from those platforms on the web or on an Apple or Android app.

A gentle way to get in shape – Chair Yoga in the Cathedral

Posted on

Join us for yoga this winter and spring!

The Cathedral Health Ministry is pleased to announce a new series of chair yoga classes led by experienced yoga instructor Monique Smith.

Ideal for both young and old, chair yoga is a unique way to exercise while sitting in a chair. Classes will be held in the Cathedral, making it easy even for those with mobility issues.

As Monique explains, “As far as abilities, even beginners will feel welcomed! … The key is to listen to one’s body.”

These weekly classes are sure to provide a stress-free way to exercise your body, mind, and spirit in fun and friendly group sessions.

Chair yoga classes will be held on Fridays from 10:15-11:00 a.m. beginning March 3 and running to the start of June. All classes are drop-in with no need to register. The cost is $5 per session, payable each week. See you there!

People and Pancakes

Posted on

The smell of pancakes and sausages filled Cathedral Memorial Hall on February 21st during the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. After a two-year hiatus, the Guild of St. Joseph returned with many volunteers to host the supper. The men of the Cathedral greeted, cooked, served and cleaned during this much-loved event.

The "Holy Joes" as the Guild is affectionately called, graciously served almost 200 Cathedral parishioners, friends and members of the community. Many were thrilled to resume the longtime tradition, which celebrates the beginning of Lent.

Gathering together in the middle of winter gave a much-needed lift to everyone's spirits. Conversation filled the air, as old and new friends gathered over the delicious shared meal.

Gary Barfitt, President of the Guild of St. Joseph, shared this message:

"The Guild of St. Joseph would like to say thank you to all who made the revival of our Pancake Supper such a resounding success this past week. We served almost 200 patrons. A special word of thanks to those who supported us in so many ways, including providing gingerbreads, serving at the tables and those who helped with the clean-up after the supper. We could not have done it without all the volunteers. The very generous freewill contributions at the door will be put to good use as Guild members continue their work."
