Deacon Jim Lorenze of Christ Church Cathedral died last night. More news will be coming regarding funeral plans, etc. In the meantime, I invite your prayers for Jim as he is received into the merciful arms of Jesus. I encourage you also to keep Deb and their family along with the cathedral community in your prayers. May they all know and feel themselves enveloped by the Holy Spirit. Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant Jim. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Prayer Shawl Ministry Monthly Meeting Our monthly Prayer Shawl Ministry meeting is Tuesday, March 21 at 6:00PM in the Memorial Lounge. Please join us as we knit together, share a prayer, and enjoy camaraderie. We always welcome newcomers, even if you are just curious to find out more about our ministry! Bring a set of size 11 knitting needles and 3 skeins of yarn, machine washable/dryable, all in the same color. If you have more experience you may wish to purchase 3 skeins of Homespun Yarn, machine washable/dryable, all in the same color. If you don't have experience with knitting, we will teach you how to make a prayer shawl. Our meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of each month, September-May. The Prayer Shawl Ministry's love and prayers are woven into each shawl as they are created. We give our shawls as a gift of love and concern for those who need solace or thanksgiving as well as for a blessing of celebration. All are welcome! We are not only a parish ministry, but also a community ministry. Please join us and feel free to bring a friend. Thank you! Pavers!!! You can still order a paver and have it placed in the courtyard this spring!! Due to the weather, we were unable to get the pavers placed last fall….but there is GOOD NEWS!! You can still order a paver(s) now and see it in place in just a couple of months. The deadline to order is April 1. What is Christ Church Cathedral’s Legacy? IT’S YOU!!!! If you haven’t already purchased a paver, please consider one now! Buy one for yourself or your family. We NEED you because without you, our story is not complete! If you have already purchased one, please consider adding another for an anniversary, a new grandchild, in remembrance of a loved one. The list is endless. We also have an “adopt a paver” program. Consider remembering someone who is no longer with us, but was a very special part of the Cathedral family, i.e. Les Crandall, Betty Onstead…. The courtyard looks amazing, let’s add meaning by filling the legacy walk with pavers! 4X8 1@$150.00ea/2@$125.00ea/3@$100.00ea...so, the more you buy, the cheaper they get! ...or...12X12 granite $400.00...or...16X16 granite $600.00 If you need a form, please contact the office and we will get one to you ASAP or click the link below. 715.834.3734 Click here to access the paver order form Holy Week Schedule 2023 Volunteer at the Needful Things Non-Food Pantry - Sat., March 25 from 2-5 pm Click Here to Volunteer!"

As of November 1st, the program is changing slightly. They are now offering a new Grocery Only/In-Store card that we purchase at a 15% base discount. This card can be used toward in-store products. Items not eligible to be purchased with the new card offering include fuel, tobacco, alcohol, gift cars, lottery/lotto, and stamps. This allows us to take advantage of the discount at the point of purchase instead of having to wait for a rebate on grocery items. Regular and Fuel-Only gift cards are still available. We purchase these at a 5% base discount. This is a great way to support the church while purchasing the gas and/or groceries you were going to buy anyway. These cards make great gifts for your friends & family, service providers or employees! Vanco Click here to make your donation online or 1.
