Dear Beloved Members of Christ Church Cathedral,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
After prayerful consideration and in consultation with the Worship Committee and the Cathedral Clergy Team, I am pleased to share updates regarding our bilingual services, the schedule for Holy Week in 2025, and the August “Taste and See” worship series.
At Christ Church Cathedral, the integration of our multicultural and multilingual community is one of our greatest blessings and priorities. Therefore, our worship life reflects both the desire to honor the importance of regular worship in one's primary language and our witness to the cross cultural unity which can be achieved when we join together in bilingual worship. We also seek to be a welcoming place for visitors who may be more accustomed to monolingual worship. In 2025, we hope to balance our commitments to our diverse community and to our new visitors. We will do so by making some slight adjustments to our worship schedule, by clarifying and better advertising that schedule particularly for the benefit of any newcomers, and by being intentional about finding more combined fellowship opportunities (TBA) when we can share, laugh, and pray together as one community.
Bilingual Combined Services at 9:30 a.m.
We will celebrate a single Eucharist on the following four Sundays. Service bulletins will be in both English and Spanish, Scripture readings and liturgical elements will be some in each language, and the Sermon will be interpreted.
