Share some Hospitality! – We are once again setting up a schedule for folks to bring an item to share for Sunday hospitality hour. There is a sign-up sheet on the literature table in the main hallway, just outside of Synod Hall. Ideas for items include bagels/cream cheese, fruit, baked goods, breakfast casseroles, cold drinks, etc. Please let us know what you can bring, and how often (weekly, 2x’s/month, monthly, etc.) If you have any questions, please speak with Larry Spears.

 

Models Wanted! – We are planning a FUNdraiser for the Cathedral for June 8th, entitled “Fellowship and Fashion . . . from Your Closet”! Part of the evening’s festivities will include a Cathedral fashion show, where our models will wear two outfits from their closet: one casual, and one dressy or “semi-formal”. We are looking for male and female models of all ages. If you are interested in participating, please speak with Margaret Nartey or call Patrice in the office. More details and tickets for the event will be available soon!

 

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.

 

We are in need of 1-2 Greeters on Sunday mornings – if you would like to sign up, there is a clipboard on the literature table in the main hallway outside of Synod Hall. If you have any questions, please speak with Margaret Nartey.

 

It’s almost time for the EASTER EGG HUNT! Last chance to contribute Easter egg fillers and small baskets with handles. Please drop off all donations at the Cathedral! Any questions? Please call Rose Cooper or E-mail her at g.r.c@att.net

 

“A Taste of Joy – Recipes of Trinity Cathedral” cookbook is still available! – 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!

 

If you are interested in helping the Food Pantry, we can especially use one or two volunteers who can lift up to 50 pounds – We have folks who can pack our food bags, but they require assistance lifting cases of canned goods onto the packing tables and moving the packed bags into place to be handed out. Can you fill this need? Please call Lourdez “Cookie” Hernandez at (609) 902-8282.

 

The next Food Pantry distribution date is – Saturday, April 13th (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.
