On Monday at 11:30 a.m. the choirs of William Jewell College presents City Come Again at the Cathedral. Next week on Saturday the 13th will be the Mingle and Munch, Sweaters and Sips open house at the home of Kristen and Mathias Nichols from 5:30-9 p.m. All of this and we’re only approaching the Second Sunday of Advent! Even though this is a busy time, Advent invites us to slow down and enjoy our preparation for Christmas.

Tomorrow is the Feast of Nicholas of Myra (present day Demre in southwest Turkey), a fourth century bishop. It is believed he was one of the bishops attending the Council of Nicaea in 325. He is known as the patron saint of seafarers, sailors, and children. Tradition holds that Nicholas had a habit of secret gift-giving to those in need.

My family and I will be in Lawrence, KS most of this weekend as we celebrate Siras’ graduation from KU. Congratulations to all who are graduating this fall!

Please continue to pray for one another, for our Cathedral family, our nation, and the world.
