DOK kicks off new season September 7
The Order of the Daughters of the King, Grace Chapter, will meet Saturday, September 7, 9:30 a.m. in the Bubb Room. This is the beginning of their new year. The Daughters will meet for planning and discussing their Chapter and the plans for the year.            
      All women of Grace Cathedral are welcome to visit or join. The Order of the Daughters of the King is a religious order for women of the Episcopal Church and those in communion with the Episcopal Church. For more information please contact Jackie Sommers at jdrsommers@gmail.com, Vanessa Hill at hill.vanessa.1924@gmail.com , Jan Buckley at jbuckley1003@yahoo.com or Sharon Highberger at sharonhighb2@icloud.com.

Adult Forum classes resume September 8
We invite you to join us in All Saints Hall Sundays at 9:30 a.m. for our Adult Forum classes, which will begin September 8 with "Walking the Episcopal Beat." Find out more about the church's official news agency, Episcopal News Service, from Cathedral member Melodie Woerman who is a freelance reporter for ENS. She also will share some of the stories she's written that are especially meaningful.
      Other classes in September will include "Relationship with Church and State," with the Reverend George Wiley; and "Wine and Religion," with Dean Torey Lightcap. (Samples of both will be provided during the 8:30 and 10:30 services!)

Senior Saints luncheon, Wednesday, September 11
Join us for social time at 11 a.m., followed by a catered lunch at 11:30 in All Saints Hall. The guest speaker will be Cathedral member Larry Wolgast on the topic, "Steamships, covered wagons and a Stone Fort. How German immigrants crossed the plains to settle in Kansas."
      There's a sign-up sheet on the west side table in the Cathedral or you can RSVP by email. A $10 donation is appreciated for the lunch. The deadline to RSVP is August 11.

Sharing Table donations
All Sharing Table items have been given out and need to be restocked prior to the first Saturday of September. Here's what is needed:
Socks, shampoo, deodorant, bar soap/body wash, band-aids, toothpaste, toothbrushes (soft have been requested), lip balm, body lotion, sunscreen, can openers, pain reliever, feminine products, gently used belts & shoes, razors, shaving cream.
      Donations can be placed in the Sharing Table box located on the shelf in the back hallway, or taken to the Cathedral office.

Ride sharing
We are currently exploring the level of need for helping get people to church who would otherwise be unable to attend in person. On the table by the west door in the Cathedral, you'll see separate forms for those who need rides and those who might be able to help. These can be filled out and placed in the nearby basket. We've also sent questionnaires to homebound parishioners by mail.

Sacred Ground course this fall

A Diocese of Kansas Sacred Ground circle is available on Zoom again this fall, with openings for 12 participants.
      Sacred Ground is a step in "Becoming Beloved Community" — a long term commitment to racial justice, healing and reconciliation by the Episcopal Church. Sacred Ground is a series of 11 conversations around race, based on materials to be read and viewed in advance.
      The readings and videos are accessed online; sessions meet weekly on Zoom. Kay and LeRoy Dagg will co-facilitate a Sacred Ground circle which will begin meeting on Tuesday evenings, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. The first session will be be on September 3, with the final session on November 26. The group will not meet on September 10, nor on Election Day,
November 5.
      Sacred Ground Zoom sessions meet weekly for 90 minutes. All are welcome to join;
participation is not restricted to Episcopalians, nor to Kansans. There is no fee for anyone
to participate in Sacred Ground.
      There are two required books: Waking Up White (and Finding Myself in the Story of Race) by Debby Irving, and Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman. Several copies of the books are available to check out from the Grace Cathedral/BKSM library.
      Find more information about Sacred Ground at the Episcopal Church's website —
https://www.episcopalchurch.org/sacred-ground/. Sign up to participate, or send your questions about Sacred Ground to the Daggs at ks_sacredground@daggsound.com or lk.dagg@sbcglobal.net.

Cathedral to host baby shower!


You are invited to join us for a baby shower for Viktoriia and Denys Ivakh, a Ukrainian couple who moved to Topeka in early August. Their baby boy is due in late September.
      The baby shower will be in All Saints Hall on Sunday, September 8, from 1-2 pm. The couple is registered at Target. You can use this QR code to access their registry.
      There will be many Ukrainian folks attending, and this will be a wonderful opportunity to welcome and visit our new friends.

Vote Faithfully Election Engagement Toolkit


Getting souls to the polls isn't just about casting our own vote but helping everyone eligible vote faithfully. We can empower every voice in our congregations in this work. There are A LOT of resources, ideas, and ways to act captured on this page. Doing election engagement well does not mean taking on everything there is to do and being overwhelmed. Effective election engagement begins with looking at what your community's needs are, what resources, skills, and interests you and your church have, and then proceeding based on how that capacity can help meet those needs.
For some, this may be offering your parish as a polling site, for others it may mean election worker recruitment. For many it's persistent messaging in newsletters and bulletin boards, for others it's organizing child care on voting days. Whatever your path, we hope you are inspired to do more as a faithful Episcopalian modeling healthy and constructive civic engagement. All election engagement work must be non-partisan, and please heed local laws, election details, and Episcopal safe church practices as you promote voting.

Fwd: Fw: GOP Office Space Grand Opening Sept 6 & MORE Opportunities



On Wednesday, August 28, 2024, 2:45 PM, Shawnee County Republicans <lanell@shawneecountyrepublicans.ccsend.com> wrote:

Temporary Office Opening for Shawnee County GOP!


A HUGE THANK YOU to Phillis Setchell, Rob Fillion, and GOP Second District Chair Eric Rucker for their work and contribution to make a temporary office space (through the General Election) possible!


The office, located at 114 SW 8th Ave, will be manned by volunteers willing to give their time so that we have a space to pick up and drop off signs, gather, and summon newcomers with a physical presence. The consistent hours of operation are in the process of being worked out. Phillis Setchell is organizing volunteers. A huge thank you to Phillis, Rob, Sharon Meissener, Lana Kombacher, JuLee Adams, Mary Meininger and all who helped prepare the office, and everyone who has agreed to man it!


Please mark your calendars for the GRAND OPENING 5:30 PM Friday, Sept 6 at 114 SW 8th Ave, Topeka! Following the ~45 minute event with elected officials and candidates, Rob Fillion has agreed to assist attendees with using the Numinar campaign app! Because we don't have internet access at the office space, please download the app on your smartphone prior. The app will be used to help the GOP campaigns across Shawnee County by automating the info you need for making phone calls or going door-to door.  


Below are step by step instructions.

 

First download Numinar on your phone by using your phone app store.

 

Once it is downloaded create a log-in using your email address associated with your phone and a password you will remember.

 

Once this is completed reach out to Rob Fillion at robjfillion@gmail.com or 785-531-2479 and ask him to add you to the area/candidate and method of voter outreach that you would to help with.

 

He will invite you to those lists and you will be able to begin helping get Republicans get elected using Numinar which will let you know who are high propensity voters in that designated area.


Also, some folks may be heading to Celtic Fox or Iron Rail for dinner afterwards... a great opportunity to eat and socialize impromptu with fellow Republicans!


If you're able to donate funds and/or time to this temporary office, your contribution will be greatly appreciated! Simply donate online HERE, or mail a check for "Shawnee County Republican Party" to our mailing address: Shawnee Co Republican Party - Suite 117, 2611 SW 17th St, Topeka KS 66604. (Also, as I'm writing this email, I've been alerted that again, someone is out there posing as me asking for money... Scammers have created yet another fake email address - but this time they spelled my name correctly. So please be careful!)


God Bless America, and may We Bless HIM!


To Victory!
