Service
The Christian Community engages in Service because it is called to
serve all humankind as sisters and brothers in Christ. Because we
are bound to one another in Christ, we bear the needs of
others--hunger, poverty, loneliness, despair, illness. Standing
together side-by-side, we address those needs as Christ's
instruments for justice, healing and wholeness, striving for justice
and peace among the children of God. Jo Reed is the Vestry
representative for Service.

Worship
The congregation in its Worship declares its praise and glory to
God. In all its worship, the Church participates in offering and
God's empowering of those who offer themselves to be God's
people. The gathered community is reminded of the story of the
people of God in the breaking and in the sharing of the bread are
fed to live it out. In worship, through prayer, the people are
refreshed and renewed. Kay Bailey is the Vestry representative for
Worship.

Education
The ministry of Education undergirds this committment. The
educational efforts in the life of the Church seek to build a
community of people who are faithful to Christ and who grow in
the knowledge of the scripture, tradition, and heritage of the
Christian witness. Educational efforts for the whole congregation
can build skills needed for mission and help to equip people for
the ministries to which they are called. Vicky Nichols is the Vestry
representative for Education.

Evangelism
Sharing the Christian faith with others is the manifestation of
Evangelism. Declaring the Good News of Jesus Christ by word
and deed for all creation to experience is a basic task for the
Christian family. Each is called to be engaged in this ministry. It
may be declared in witness or storytelling, welcoming and
involving new members, seeking out the lapsed, beginning new
congregations or revitalizing established ones. George Cramer
is the Vestry representative for Evangelism.

Pastoral Care
Because each of God's human creations is due dignity as God's
own, we honor and nurture one another. The ministry of
Pastoral Care is manifested in the listener, the enabler, and the
encourager. This ministry includes hospital visitations, and the
administration of Holy Eucharist to shut-ins. Steve Bressler is
the Vestry representative for Pastoral Care.

Stewardship
Through these ministries, we at Christ Cathedral develop our
budget for the coming year. It is to these ministries that we
direct our efforts and our financial commitment. Stewardship
then takes on the face of ministry rather than just maintaining
buildings and staff. You can commit to the Stewardship
ministry of the Church by your generous giving of your time,
talent and treasure. Harry Smith is the Vestry representatives
for Stewardship.
