ONLINE LUNCH & LEARN Be Young at Heart in Epiphanytide
with Canon Kate
In this three-part series focused on the young and young at heart, Mother Kate Salisbury discusses how parishes of all sizes can minister to children, youth, and their families. We’ll talk about worship, Christian formation, and special celebrations throughout the year that draw kids and those who love them straight to the heart of the Church. Topics include sharing practical resources, tips for writing children’s sermons, and simple ways to connect young people to diocesan-wide opportunities. Come ready to share your memories, insights, and dreams for the next generation of the faithful.
The Reverend Canon Kate Salisbury currently leads the Cathedral’s Fellowship in Faith and Family Ministry programs. Canon Kate’s love of creative Christian education in Episcopal schools and churches has been shared with several congregations since 2004.
We meet from 12 Noon to 1 pm via Zoom on three Thursdays (January 16th, 23rd , and 30th). Lunch & Learn began as a response to a simple question: What if we offered short courses for busy people during lunch? Many local parish adult education programs occur in the evening, which can be difficult for those who prefer to avoid driving at night or want to avoid giving up their evening after a long workday. By scheduling midday, we could cater to those who could easily commute to the school late in the morning and leave before evening traffic. And so, Lunch & Learn was born. JOIN US!

Welcome to Mercer!Welcome to Fiscal Year 2025!
On December 1, a new liturgical year began, and with it, the season of Advent. In our Advent-Christmas message we observed that the Gospel lessons proclaimed at the four Sundays of Advent begin with an adult Jesus warning us to “stand up and raise your heads because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28) and end (at the beginning?) with Elizabeth’s infant leaping in her womb as a pregnant Mary greets her (Luke 1:41). Saturday January 18th marks the end of the first semester of our 2024-25 academic year and our spring 2025 semester begins Saturday February 15th.
If you look up and to the right, you will see the cover of our spring 2025 course catalog. We encourage you to click on the picture and browse the catalog and review our spring offerings. Registration will open on January 22nd. In addition to courses offered from our spring catalog Lunch & Learn resumes on Thursday, January 16, with “Young at Heart,” three sessions with the Reverend Canon Kate Salisbury, who will share her considerable gifts and more than twenty years of experience as a Christian educator. In addition, video recordings of the October 2024 lunchtime sessions covering updates on the polity and canon law of the Episcopal Church from the two most recent General Conventions are now available.
