A Letter to Our Partners
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your interest in being one of the weekly ministry partners for Cathedral in the Night! We are looking forward to having you join us for worship and meal and appreciate your support for the ministry of Cathedral in the Night. Cathedral in the Night was founded to be a ministry of the local community and congregations. Thank you for making this dream possible.
Ministry partners provide a meal for 100 people (about 6-8 large catering trays of hot food). Though we are grateful for the much needed gift of food, your biggest gift is yourself and the relationships you build at Cathedral. When you think of times in your life when you made a big change - our guess it most of the time that change was facilitated through a relationship and not things. Your presence is a huge gift and we know you will also be changed by your partnership with us.
​
Please contact us for more info about becoming a ministry partner - email us at info@cathedralinthenight.org
Thank you for your support and consideration! We hope that you will join us as a weekly ministry partner soon.
Peace,
Cathedral in the Night
