Volume 13, Number 3 THE MESSENGER

It is appropriate that our Lenten

time of reflection and self-examination

has been spent in the work of ministry

transition. Such work asks us to reflect

on our mission and to consider the

directions in which God is calling us in

our ministries supporting that mission. I

would like to thank the Cathedral vestry

for their fine work in conducting a

visioning process that involved every

household in the Cathedral family. The

conversations they engaged in asked a

few basic questions about the ministries

that are most important to us and about

the gifts that we are seeking in persons

who will be called to fill the roles of

canon pastor and organist/choirmaster.

In their report-out on the findings of

these conversations, the vestry

concluded that our priorities in the role

of canon pastor are someone who will:

1) Complement the qualities of the

Dean;

2) Engage with young families and

youth;

3) Lead and facilitate pastoral care

ministries; and

4) Expand outreach ministries.

In an organist/choirmaster, we seek

someone who will:

1) Further our tradition of excellence in

worship;

2) Develop our children’s and youth

choirs; and

3) Enhance our musical outreach to the

wider community and the diocese.

Screening and interviews of candidates

for the clergy position has begun, and a

organist/choirmaster transition

committee comprised of vestry, choir,

and congregation members is being

constituted.

We also continue to participate in

the search and transition process for the

fourth bishop of our diocese. Thanks to

all of you who took the time to

complete the on-line survey; it has now

been completed and the results will

soon be shared with the search

committee. Focus group attendance for

the meeting here at the Cathedral was

wonderful; it was a positive process,

which will be very helpful, along with

the survey, as the search committee

compiles a profile of our diocese during

April. Soon thereafter, we will begin the

work of soliciting nominations. (continued on page 2)

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend

Beverly F. Gibson, Ph.D., Dean

As we come to the end of Lent and

look forward to Holy Week and the Easter

celebration that will follow, I encourage

you to continue in your personal devotions

and disciplines, to remember especially

the transitions here at the Cathedral and in

the diocese in your prayers, and to avail

yourself of opportunities to worship

together here at the Cathedral. Our

corporate worship and prayers strengthens

us, binds us together both here in the

present and with the saints of our past and

our future. From this we draw energy and

hope, which make us ready for the work

God has for us to do.

In Simply Jesus, N. T. Wright writes,

“When Jesus rose from the dead on Easter

morning, he rose as the beginning of the

new world that Israel’s God had always

intended to make.” We look forward

together here at Christ Church Cathedral

to the new world that will open for us on

Easter morning.

Episcopal Relief and Development. Or for

more information, visit the ERD YouTube

link: http://youtu.be/cmSsvR18JhM

The Confirmation/School Sunday ERD

Project has expanded to include the members

of the Fun Club but the goal of this ambitious

Lenten outreach project remains the same; raise

$2500 in contributions to be given to Episcopal

Relief and Development to fund two water

treatment facilities.

The group is asking Cathedral children to

donate the change they collect in their “ERD

Hope Chests” to the clean water program. For

adults who would prefer to make donations,

ERD envelopes are available. Please make

your checks payable to Christ Church

Cathedral, with the notation ERD project.

The class was drawn to the Clean Water

project because they have never had to consider

whether the water they drank was safe. In

many third world countries, people cannot

afford to filter their water. Water that is not

clean can contain parasites and other things that

can hurt the human body. When people

consume the water, they will become sick.

Some of the diseases can even cause death. If

we can reduce the amount of unfiltered

drinking water in these countries, that help

build up the economies. When there are fewer

people getting sick, there are more people

working and earning money for their families.

Every 15 seconds, a child dies from a

water related disease. When you donate to this

cause, it helps empower communities to create

safe and clean water sources by building wells

and piping systems to prevent waterborne

illnesses. Also by training members of

communities on the use and maintenance of the

water systems.

Please help us achieve our goal is to help

two villages DRINK, WASH, COOK, LIVE.

Our goal can be reached with a $10

donation from each of our 250 Cathedral

families. Will you give today?

How to Join Episcop al Church (paraphrased from The Episcopal Handbook)

By far, the most important requirement for joining the Episcopal Church is just showing up.

Many Episcopal parishes are intentionally vague about assigning membership. We don’t want to be known as

places where weekly attendance is taken, annual contributions are tabulated, and your membership is assigned

only if you pass muster. We’re much less concerned about counting the people who are in, than we are about

leaving someone out.

To serve as a Lay minister you should be baptized in this or any Christian church, confirmed or received by a

bishop of the Episcopal Church, attend services, receive Holy Communion, and make a financial commitment. Of

course, some people claim membership to our churches because a long-lost relative once attended, and this is fine

by us. We believe the church should reflect the open and accepting arms of Jesus.

If one is baptized in a parish, he or she automatically becomes a member. If one is already a member of an

Episcopal parish and moves to another, a Letter of Transfer is typically requested. However, the paperwork

generally plays second fiddle to the importance of a feeling of belonging to a parish family.

A Youth Confirmation Class is currently underway. There will be an Adult Inquirer’s Class on Wednesday,

April 15 at 5:30 p.m. in the library. Confirmation and Reception by the Bishop will be Sunday, May 11.

Dear Friends,

Wilmer Hall Children’s Home serves children and young adults in need due

to poverty, abuse, neglect and homelessness by providing them with a warm, loving and nurturing home where they can live, learn and grow. Wilmer Hall

was founded by Bishop Richard H. Wilmer in 1864 as a home for children who

were victims of war, poverty and disease.

In 2014 we look forward to celebrating 150 years of mission and ministry.

We celebrate not only our past, but look to the future as we continue our legacy

of caring for children and young adults. Due to an ever increasing census, we need to renovate both Carpenter Hall

and Quigley Hall in order to expand our Transitional Living Program and our

Transitional Family Program. Our goal is to raise $1,500,000 for our renovation

and expansion project and to strengthen our endowment so that Wilmer Hall

will be sustainable for many more years.

The Board of Directors of Wilmer Hall joins me in asking for your support of our Rejoice, Restore and Renew campaign as we seek to continue and sustain

this very special ministry.
