The Sharing Tree

The Sharing Tree

Providing resources to those who are making an impact around us and abroad is part of our Cathedral DNA. It’s why the annual fundraiser for missions has continued to successfully send youth out into the communities of Houston, Louisiana, and Costa Rica.

This year we are introducing The Sharing Tree, a twist to our popular The Giving Tree. The ministry of Jesus calls us to come together and share the Good News through act, word, or deed. The word share invites us to unite and bear each other’s pain, sorrow, joy, happiness, and ministry. Will you prayerfully consider supporting our youth by participating as a Share Holder of The Sharing Tree? As a Share Holder, you will receive periodic emails updating you on the youth missioners (what is happening on the mission trip and their experiences after they have completed their mission trip), and you will be invited to a Share Holder dinner. Your name will also be printed on the back of the mission trip shirts, because “Share Holders Have Our Back.”

The Sharing Tree will be in the cloister on Sundays during Lent. Your sponsorship helps us leaf the tree, as each leaf represents a gift. Please stop by and visit with youth missioners and sponsors to hear about our shared call to the work this summer in Costa Rica. In the cloister, we accept cash, checks, and credit cards, or you can mail a check to the Cathedral office. Checks should be made payable to Christ Church Cathedral with The Sharing Tree on your check memo line and on the envelope.

I hope you will prayerfully consider sending one of our students on the mission. We look forward to sharing the ministry of Costa Rica and thank you as you support us financially and hold us in prayer.
