HOSPITALITY Welcome from the Vicar
On this mountain, the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
Isaiah 25:6  Come on in! There is a veritable feast waiting for you within the walls of Christ Church Cathedral.
A feast for the eyes...as sun pours through glorious stained glass, reflecting off the richly embroidered altar hangings that change with each season in the Church, marking our own journeys with Christ. A feast for the ears, as sublime sacred music, offered by highly talented musicians echoes from the vaulted ceiling, and the voices of over 60 young choristers can be heard throughout the week as they prepare to offer the very best of their gifts to the glory of God. A feast of scents: of coffee brewing, pies baking, soup simmering, and maybe the occasional whiff of incense... A feast for the touch, as you run your hands along pews and altar rails that have held generations of the faithful, the seeking, and the lost alike - the cloud of witnesses by which God encompasses us. A feast for the mouth, as you are fed with the bread and wine of Holy Communion, (and the tea and cakes of the Cathedral Women!). A feast for the soul... as you hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed and preached with thoughtful grace; as you watch the wonder, discovery and amazement of children gathered in the community of believers; as new believers enter into the Body of Christ through the waters of baptism. Here in this place, the Lord of hosts has made for all peoples a diverse and vibrant place, where all are welcomed, all are fed, and the opportunities abound to offer our God-given gifts to the glory of God and the service of God's people, both here and around the world. Come on in! The coffee and tea are always on. There's always room at the table. And bidden or unbidden, God is always present. Catherine Ascah♰Pastoral Vicar
