THE COLLECT

Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

CATHEDRAL NOTES

OPERATION BACKPACK

Deadline: Monday, July 28

The Operation Backpack tree is up in the Chapter House and waiting for you to register for a donation. Our goal is to have a backpack and school supplies, as well as receive credit for $100 to use toward school related items for 20 students. The cash goal is $2100 so that we can offset the cost of lunch on their shopping day. To reach our goal we need everyone's help. We still need among other things:

 backpacks including 2 black and 2 green

 13 calculators including 4 basic 4-function, 3 with algebraic
functions, and 6 with scientific functions
 6 flash drives 2GB or larger

Donated items may be dropped off at or around the piano in the Chapter House. Please place your item in a bag and attach a copy of the child's card to the bag. If you are making a monetary contribution, please make your check payable to Christ Church Cathedral with FIT Operation Backpack on the memo line.
For questions, please contact Marla at the Cathedral office:
