Community Calendar

This fall, we invite you to journey with us at the Cathedral of St. Paul as we experience and encounter the Holy through art, music, community, and worship. Sacred Pathways includes four unique worship opportunities combined with formation or fellowship each Tuesday of the month.

Join us for Sacred Conversations & Sacred Simplicity on Tuesday, November 4:
Sacred Conversations at 6:00 P.M. led by Gary Loncki. Featuring the writings of Meister Eckhart. Learn more about Eckhart’s mystical theology, particularly his idea of our soul’s ground being the space where one experiences a deep union with God.

Sacred Simplicity at 7:00 P.M. This service offers meditative prayer, silence, and music. Its most recognizable feature, drawn from the French community of Taizé, is its simple, repetitive chants. These chants are meant to quiet the mind and open the heart to God. Gather with us as we seek peace, unity and the quiet presence of God.

What if there is a memo you're supposed to receive to make you successful?

What if there's someone you're supposed to meet no matter what? What if these two things can't happen at once?

This is the premise of The Memo by Rachel Dodes and Lauren Mechling. Come today to pick up your book, take it home, and read it. Then meet again later in November to discuss the book, if you would like a memo, the idea of free will versus destiny, and play MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House) from your childhood (if you played), and have a good time.

Spots are limited so please register. This book deals with adult themes and is for adults 18+ only. The book will be provided.
