Spiritual Growth for Adults

Opportunities to Grow on the Spiritual Journey during Advent:

Dean’s forum and Sermon Series on All Creation Waits by Gayle Boss

Special sermons at all services by the Cathedral Clergy on the spiritual themes and virtues of Advent as we discover them in God’s creatures.

Forums at 10:15am each Sunday in the Mercer Library, with the exception of Advent Sunday (Dec 1) which will be an intergenerational Advent Wreath workshop in the Cathedral Undercroft.

Lectio Divina with the Community of the Incarnation:

Mondays at 6:30pm via Zoom register here. Join members of the New Monastic Community of the Incarnation for a sacred time of contemplative reflection upon scripture as we prepare for the Feast of the Incarnation at the Cathedral of the Incarnation. This ancient practice will bring you into close relationship with the stories of the season.

The Indwelling of Hope: Online Series with the National Cathedral (our Sister Cathedral):
