Please join us for hospitality hour following the 10:30 AM service in Synod Hall! Meet new friends, and enjoy those you already know. If you are new to the Cathedral we’d like to get to know you! Enjoy hot and cold drinks and brunch treats. The entrance to Synod Hall is on the left, off the hallway leading to the parking lot doors. (Just ask if you need directions!)
“Hospitality bringers” for November 22, 2026: Georgia Koenig: ½ gal. iced tea and ½ gal. juice; Annmarie Paisley: 1 quart ½ & ½; Carolyn Ford: fruit; Danny Thomas: granola bars; Anthony Rabara: Salad makings/dressing. If you would like to bring an item to share, Joyce Gibbs-Spears will have a sign-up sheet in the Synod Hall kitchen during hospitality hour. You don’t need to bring something every week, even once per month would be welcomed. You can also sign up to help with set-up & clean-up. Each week, we will print a reminder list the same way we do with our altar servers.
Soon it will be turkey time! – Please consider contributing non-perishable Thanksgiving side dishes for us to distribute through our Food Pantry. Each year we receive a large donation of side dishes from a local organization, but that is not happening this year, so there is a pressing need. Please see the flyer in your bulletin for items needed. Donations can be left on the frontal case in Synod Hall. Thank you, on behalf of our neighbors, for your generosity!
Today is the third Sunday of the month: our loose plate offering will be directed toward our Food Pantry, to help defray the costs of distributing food to our neighbors. Please give generously as you are able.
This week we will bag food for the Food Pantry: join us Wednesday, November 18 at 3:00 pm.
You learn something new every day! – Each Sunday at 9:15 am in Synod Hall, in Anglicanism 101we learn about the things that make our Episcopal Church what it is. Last week we learned, in part, about Anglican spirituality, with an emphasis on the Holy Spirit. Come grab a cup of coffee and find out more! Our last Anglicanism 101 will be on November 22nd, Christ the King Sunday. Mark your calendars for November 29th, when we will share a parish-wide activity for the first Sunday of Advent!
Mark your calendars! – Stewardship Sunday will be Sunday, November 22nd (if you have not received a pledge card in the mail, please contact the office or ask an Usher.) We will be Greening the Cathedral on Saturday, December 19th – please join us if you can, as many hands make light work. Our service of Lessons & Carols will be on Sunday, December 6th (please join us and bring friends and family!)
We are seeking children and young people to participate in our Christmas Eve crèche-building service at 4:00 pm. As lessons are read, participants will carry up pieces of the crèche and add them to the scene in front of the lectern. If you have youth in your family who would like to participate, please contact Althia Muse at (609) 802-2303.
Regrettably, Trinity Cathedral will not be participating this year in Prison Fellowship Angel Tree. Circumstance and a change in the registration process resulted in delays that made it unlikely that we could implement our program in a timely and well-organized manner. Rest assured that the children who would have been assigned to the Cathedral will be served by other Angel Tree churches and organizations in our area, We anticipate continuing our partnership in this important component of Prison Fellowship Ministry in 2027. If you have questions, please contact Judith Miller at (609) 212-2119 or by E-mail at judithm2@verizon.net. Also, we are looking for assistance in planning and facilitating next year’s Angel Tree Christmas. The work actually begins in October. Please let Judith know if you are interested in helping.
One of our neighbors that has mobility issues needs a ride to church. She lives at the Luther Towers on West State Street, so close to the Cathedral. If you think you can help out (it doesn’t need to be every week) please call Patrice in the office.
Did you know that we host weekly Rosary Devotions? Our group meets via Zoom on Thursdays at 8:00 pm. You can also join via phone if you do not use Zoom. If you would like more information, and to receive a printed devotional to follow along, please speak with Cn. Paul Cooper or Erica Warner.
To help make everyone feel welcome at the Cathedral, we ask that everyone wear their nametags for worship and events at the Cathedral. Look for your nametag near the parking lot entrance. If there is not one with your name on it yet, please use a temporary nametag and sign up on the sheet provided; one will be made for you the following week.
The next Food Pantry distribution date is – Saturday, November 21st (2nd & 3rd 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.
