Cathedral Choir

Generally speaking, choirs are the longest-running and most visible small group in any church. Choir members offer an invaluable gift to the community of faith by shaping and leading worship, while in the process, enjoying fellowship and spiritual kinship with others who find joy in singing. Dr. Steven Wietstock leads choir rehearsals in the Sanctuary at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays and 9:15 a.m. on Sundays. No audition is necessary, just a desire to make a joyful noise to the Lord!

 

Daughters of the King

The Daughters of the King is a worldwide ministry to women and girls in the Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion who desire a closer walk with the Lord. They are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life, and supported through the companionship of our sisters. Daughters are all at different stages of their Christian journey – some have just begun and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where they are on their sacred journeys, the primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others. The Daughters of the King meet at 9:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month.

 

 

Ecumenical Bible Study

The Ecumenical Bible Study is a monthly Bible study comprised primarily of members of the Cathedral of Saint James, St. Augustine’s Catholic Church, and Kern Road Mennonite Church. For questions, contact Hal Culbertson or Rhonda Culbertson.

 

Education for Ministry

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a unique four-year distance learning certificate program in theological education through Sewanee based upon small-group study and practice. Since its founding in 1975, this international program has assisted more than 80,000 participants in discovering and nurturing their call to Christian service. EFM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together.

 

Prayer Breakfast

 

Join a group of people each Thursday morning for Prayer Breakfast, held at Tradewinds Restaurant (921 W. McKinley, Mishawaka) at 9 a.m. Contact Peg Swadener with questions.


Raising Cane

Resolved to learn more about the Bible this year? Interested in getting to know some of the wonderful people at the Cathedral a little bit better? Come share faith and fellowship at Raising Cane! This group for Senior Citizens (or whomever) meets at 10:15 a.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. We dig into the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday and reflect upon what it means in our lives. All are invited (but by no means required!) to bring a treat to share.
