Support your Cathedral: Volunteer Greeters and Servers
____________
Sundays@4 - Weekly at Christ Church Cathedral
Early in 2025, we started a weekly service of musical Evening Prayer at the Cathedral. Sundays@4 features music of different styles and traditions, from traditional Choral Evensong with the Cathedral Choir to Taizé, Holden Evening Prayer, Organ Vespers, and even Broadway Vespers.
Now that Sundays@4 is in full swing, we invite volunteers to join our team of greeters and servers. The time commitment is Sunday from 3.15pm until approximately 5pm, and we would be delighted for team members to commit to one Sunday each month.
- Greeters meet congregation members at the door and distribute service bulletins, and they assist with receiving and counting donations.
- Servers participate in setting up the liturgical space, and they robe for the service to assist the Presider, including the lighting of candles, the ceremonial use of incense, and the reading of scriptures.

Compline - Weekly on Sunday at 8pm, Christ Church Cathedral
We also invite volunteers to join our team of greeters and servers for our long-established services of Compline, weekly on Sundays at 8pm. The tasks are the same as those for Sundays@4 with the time commitment of approximately 7.15 - 9pm. We would be delighted to include new volunteer greeters or servers on a once-a-month schedule.

All newcomers will be paired with a seasoned volunteer initially, providing guidance and training.
Our invitation is open to all. To express interest in joining our volunteer greeter or server teams, please email reception@thecathedral.ca

The Cathedral Mission
We envision a Cathedral which is radically inclusive, restlessly inquisitive, intentional, and inspired. This is a place that is called to lead and to serve, in communion and in community, with healing, reconciliation, and love, living out Christian mission. Together, we look to the power of Christ for the transformation of each person, this city, and the world.
We recognize our history and traditions, while seeking renewal and growth in spiritual depth and size. Curious and adaptable, this chorus has room for all voices. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whomever you love, and regardless of what you may bring or are searching for, you are welcome here.
