Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever.

Family Promise childrenFamily Promise Week is coming up! We need volunteers

to help with this important - and enjoyable - project.  

 

Greetings! 

 

St. John's Cathedral will be a "host church" for the Family Promise program July 24-31. We need folks to sign up to stay at church one night or more, and others who can provide a meal, snacks, toiletries, linens and other items. I plan to spend a night or two at church during that week! Please join me!

 

If you can help, please take time to fill out this questionnaire. 

 

Even if you can commit to providing just a carton of milk, a box of granola bars or a few bottles of shampoo, you'll be helping make our guests (two or three families) feel welcome during this week. We hope to schedule volunteer training soon with Family Promise staff to make sure things go smoothly. 

 

Family Promise has been based in Jacksonville for five years. The program helps people in economic crisis find jobs and permanent housing. In most cases, these are intact families who are not eligible to stay together at Sulzbacher or other shelters. They are law-abiding people who are facing economic challenges. During the day, the adults are either at job interviews, or at the Family Promise office working with job-placement counselors. The children ride to and from school or summer activities in the Family Promise van. At the end of the day, Family Promise transports its clients to a host church where they stay for a week at a time. Volunteers at the host churches provide dinner and breakfast, and stay at church while the families are there. 

 

This will be the first time St. John's has provided shelter for homeless families in this program. Contact Rolland Kohls at kohls26@hotmail.com or me if you have any questions.  

 

All blessings,

Theresa Johnson, Cathedral Executive

LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED PASTORAL CARE, PRAYERS  Because of recently enacted privacy laws, hospitals do not call the cathedral to let us know automatically if you are in the hospital. Please call the office and let us know so that our clergy can visit you, bring flowers and pray for your swift recovery. Our prayer list is kept with Judy Maurer in the office and then included each week in this bulletin. Confidential prayers are passed on to the Daughters of the King through the pew cards. Let us know so that we can pray for and help you.

 

SAVE THE DATE/RALLY DAY: Rally Day is Aug. 28. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the many classes, volunteer opportunities and the outreach ministries offered at the cathedral.
