Becoming the Story We Tell Small Groups Continue
Starting the week of January 18 thirty cathedral members formed into six small groups journeyed into a
venture in storytelling. The format of group sessions includes reflection on the Sunday gospel text using a
lectio divina approach followed by one or two group members sharing their life-story. Lectio divina (Latin
for divine reading) treats scripture, not as a text to be studied for knowledge, but for God's living word.
There is no attempt to force a connection of the gospel story with the
life stories told. However, the stories are moving and we hear pain
and humor, frustration and courage, perseverance and grace, loss and
being found. "So much of what we see and know of each other on
Sundays is surface," one group member said, "but when I hear
someone take 15-20 minutes to tell their story, I am amazed to
understand the depths of struggle and triumph they have
experienced."
The aim of the "Becoming the Story We Tell" (BSWT) initiative is to
expand the cathedrals baptismal ministry (the catechumenate that we
call "Emmaus Journey") to include more of us with an experiential
grasp of the process. This phase of BSWT corresponds to the initial
phase: Inquiry.
If you have questions or interest in participating in a small group
contact Dan Benedict at (808) 489-4004 ([email protected]).

Divina. Clockwise from top left:
Lectio ("read"); Meditatio
("meditate"); Oratio ("pray");

Donations for St. Paul's Church in Saipan
It's time again for us to clean out our closets and get together old t-shirts, etc. to send to Saipan. There
will be a box at Aloha Hour after every service for you to drop off clothing. We hope to have our
donations blessed on Sunday, February 22nd, and mailed out soon afterward. Please kokua with this
worthwhile project!
If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Service, [email protected].
Sunday Adult Formation
9:20 - 10:10 am in the Von Holt Room
Opening the Prayer Book: (Jan 18th - Mar 15th)
Join us for the next several weeks as Walter and Susan facilitate a discussion on Episcopalians
being "People of the Prayer Book." It will be practical, offering tips on how to find your way around
the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), but also ripe with why we do - what we do! You're encouraged to
bring your own Book of Common Prayer if you have one. (We will also have copies to borrow.) Even if
you missed earlier sessions, you can join us at any time.
Feb 8th - Living as a Prayerful People. This week we discuss why and
how we pray. An introduction to several types of prayer, beyond
intercessory prayer. We will use Westerhoff's book on the prayer
chapter. And as Lent approaches - we'll suggest Lenten Devotionals, to
include the Society of St. John's (SSJE) on-line program to connect us all
in our individual prayer time.
Our weekly conversations will refer to John Westerhoff's book, Living
Faithfully as a Prayer Book People. For those who want to purchase a book, we will have them there for
$10.

Lent is almost upon us!
It's not too early to consider how you might enter into a Holy Lent this year . . .
May we suggest that an important part of that preparation starts with worship and fellowship with one
another. In joining with your Cathedral Ohana, you join the universal church in preparing our hearts for
the resurrection joy of Easter.
Ash Wednesday (Feb 18th)
The Lenten season begins with the Ash Wednesday Service. Interestingly - many feel this is one of their
most meaningful services of the year. The Cathedral is open to all - and offers three opportunities to
receive ashes and enter into a Holy Lent.
7:15 am - Holy Eucharist with imposition of ashes
11:45 am - Sung Eucharist with imposition of ashes
5:30 pm - Choral Eucharist with imposition of ashes
8.30 pm - Sung Compline
Wednesday Evening's Lenten Program (Feb 25th - Mar 25th)
Between Ash Wednesday and Holy Week, we will offer a 5-week Wednesday Evening Lenten Program that
explores the drama and tensions of Holy Week (Passion Crossing Points). As we've done in years past our program of a light soup supper and teaching will be enclosed in worship, before and after.
To help us get a better idea of our "headcount" on food preparation for the Soup Supper, please email the
office (or sign up under the Aloha Tent) if you plan to attend
([email protected] ). But even if you haven't signed up - come!
5:30 pm - Evensong, Sermon and Holy Communion with a reflection
6:15 pm - Lenten Soup Supper and Program
8:30 pm - Sung Compline
Lenten Program: "Passion Crossing Points"
In these five sessions, the clergy will guide us in exploring how individuals can intentionally join the
church's annual journey through the Pascal Mystery. Our discussions will investigate how each of us
might open up and explore the "crossing points" of Jesus' Passion with the passion in our personal and
communal experience. In this way, we approach the mystery of our union with Christ in and through the
liturgies of Holy Week.

Lent II - (Mar 4th) Maundy Thursday (the Triduum opens - Foot Washing)

Eucharistic Minister & Visitor Training on Oahu
The Cathedral needs more people to serve as Eucharistic Ministers (chalice bearers) and to serve as
Eucharistic Visitors (take communion to our parishioners who cannot come to church). Both of these
ministries require licensing from the Bishop. To become licensed, Susan+ will do the hands-on training,
but you must also attend the Diocesan training as described below on April 11th. For those who are in the
process of becoming licensed, or would be willing to serve in one of those capacities - please sign up to
attend the Diocesan training.
The required Eucharistic Minister and Eucharistic Visitor Training is on Saturday, April 11, 2015, at The
Cathedral of St. Andrew, beginning at 9:00 am. The trainer is the Rev. Walter Stevens.
Both EMs and EVs attend the morning session, which begins at 9:00 am. That session lasts 2.5
hours. Eucharistic Ministers, need only attend the morning session. Those who intend to be Eucharistic
Visitors stay for the afternoon session, which lasts until 3:30 pm. To register, either see Susan+
([email protected]) for assistance, or register on the Diocesan website. Space is
limited, so register early.

church, enrolled in pre-school through the 4th grade of school. Older children are welcome to assist as
"helpers" or participate in "The ROCK" (Relationships, Outreach, Christ & Kids) program located in the

February 8. Story of the Life of "St." Valentine. Today we celebrate the life of "St." Valentine who loved
for God. Valentine was executed of February 14, 270. The practice of sending love messages on February
14 originated in part from the story of Valentine's note to the jailer's blind daughter. This day celebrates
love and commemorates Valentine's life.
February 15. Shrove Tuesday/Ash Wednesday. Periodically, a "work day" is scheduled in the Godly Play
classroom. It allows a relaxed time for the students to revisit materials that have not been utilized
"enough." It is a chance to work with favorite activities and to ask lingering questions. We will also have
preparation and imposition of ashes with the students.
