THE COLLECT 
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Stewardship 2013
Something To Celebrate: What Do I Need to Give? 

On the Sundays this month, we will hear from members of the Cathedral family who have reason to celebrate their lives here at Christ Church. We all have gained something spiritually from our worship and life in the Body of Christ here at Christ Church Cathedral. As you read and listen to our stewardship writers and speakers, please reflect on your own experience. What are some of the specific pieces of our life together for which you are especially thankful? In what ways do you feel called to give to our shared life here at Christ Church Cathedral?
