At our meeting on June 10, the Vestry, in support of Episcopal Community Services (ECS), voted to be a sustaining member of ECS for 2024. The contribution for a sustaining member is $3,000. Please feel free to contribute this effort as you are able. (Checks can be made payable to Trinity Cathedral, with “ECS” on the memo line, and put in the collection plate or sent to the office.)
MANY THANKS to those who made our Fashion Show FUNdraiser a fabulous success and helped us raise $3,354(!): all of our models, those who brought food to share, those who supported us by purchasing tickets and donating lovely prize baskets, and the group that made it all happen: Winnie Daniels, Georgia Koenig, Gil Williams, Larry Spears, Fay Manicke, Lucy Adams, John Gummere, Patrice D’Angelo & Al Shaw. And a VERY SPECIAL shout-out to our Junior Warden, Margaret Nartey, who orchestrated the event and made it an evening to remember!
Greeters provide the first welcoming smile to members and visitors coming to Trinity Cathedral on Sunday morning. In fulfilling our mission as a home for all who enter, our greeter team affirms people’s decision to join us, identifies those who may need support, and ensures our worship service proceeds with dignity, safety and joy. What is expected of a greeter?
- Arrive 20 minutes before the start of service.
- Welcome everyone as they enter.
- Provide information and directions to those who need them.
- Inform the ushers about those who may need special support.
- Watch for, and report, any concerning behavior to the ushers.
Please consider joining our greeter team! If you are interested in becoming a greeter, please speak with our Junior Warden, Ms. Margaret Nartey or sign up on the table right outside Synod Hall.
Have you checked out our “A Taste of Joy – Recipes of Trinity Cathedral” cookbook? – Proceeds from the sale of the books are going to provide fresh produce to our Food Pantry. Get yours today at the Cathedral Altar Guild Shop for just $10 or contact Lucy Adams at trinitycathedralags@gmail.com. Also, if you are interested in selling the books, let Lucy know. Thank you for your support!
We are re-starting our Lay Eucharistic Ministry to Hamilton Grove Care & Rehabilitation Center – We will lead worship and administer communion every first and third Sunday of each month to the facility’s geriatric, infirm, and convalescing patients. Service leaflets are provided and we make every effort to send folks in pairs so they have assistance. Flu shots and TB vaccines are mandatory for anyone participating (must provide proof). COVID shots are welcomed but not mandatory. Please speak to Larry Spears or Dean John if you are interested in serving this community.
The next Food Pantry distribution date is – Saturday, June 22nd (2nd & 4th Saturdays this month) from 9-11:00 am.
Each Thursday, we distribute hot dinners “to go” from 4:15–5:30pm at the Overbrook Avenue entrance as a satellite location for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
