Have you tried pickleball yet? – YOU can try America’s fastest-growing sport and help make our October 13th golf outing a smashing success! After all… it’s not just a golf outing! We will host a pickleball clinic in the morning where you can get into the groove and practice your moves. Then you’ll participate in a round-robin style play with fellow pickleballers (don’t worry – there are LOTS of beginners!) It’s not too late to register – only $60, which includes the after-tournament cocktail hour and buffet dinner. Join us and try it out! (Registration forms are on the literature table in the main hallway.)
Youth Christian Education Resumes – We are excited to announce that Christian Education for our youth will be resuming this fall, preparing young people for Confirmation at Easter 2026 and continuing to build on the strong foundation established last year. New and returning participants are encouraged to join. Sessions will be 75-90 minutes on alternating Sundays after church (schedule TBD). Any interested participants are encouraged to reach out to Althia Muse (609-802-2303 or althia.muse@yahoo.com) or Patricia Atkins (609-900-6954) patriciaaatkins@gmail.com.

COMING SOON to the Altar Guild Shop – Special Lavender Bath Salts and Heat Packs made with the very fragrant lavender from our own cathedral gardens. Check these and other fine items out when the Shop opens on September 28th – see you there!
Vestry Member Raising Funds for UrbanPromise – Althia Muse and her family have participated in the “Paddle for Promise”
Fundraiser to support the UrbanPromise TrentonTrekkers experiential learning program. Donations are still being accepted if you would like to join in! Through travel to places beyond students’ everyday lives and a focus on cross-cultural experiences, historical perspectives, environmental awareness, and community service, students are motivated to learn from their TrentonTrekkers journeys and carry that motivation into their studies. You can scan the QR code to make a donation, or visit the website link listed.
Tours of Trinity Cathedral Available – Join a scheduled tour of Trinity Cathedral conducted by Bernard McMullan, informal Cathedral historian and former chair of the Cathedral’s Property, Maintenance and Improvement Commission. Two tour dates are scheduled:
* Sunday, September 28 at 5PM * * Sunday, October 26 at 4PM *
The 90-minute tour of the four different churches in the Cathedral complex will include a review of the history, architecture, stained glass, fabrics, and other art of Trinity as well telling some of the “stories” of this 133 year-old congregation. The event requires extensive walking and traversing of several flights of stairs. The tour concludes with hors d’oeuvres, sweets, wine and conversation in Synod Hall. Just a few slots are available on each of the days. A donation to Trinity Cathedral of $25 per person is requested. Sign up on the poster in the main hallway outside the Cathedral offices.
Group tours of the Cathedral can be arranged through Patrice D’Angelo (PatriceAtTrinity@aol.com) or Bernard McMullan (rivervue1622@gmail.com).
Sunday Coffee Hour!
Every Sunday following the10 AM service in Synod Hall
Why do we have Coffee Hour?
Each Sunday we leave the Eucharist with these words:
“Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord!’
A big ask!
So what does this have to do with Coffee Hour?
Along with the weekly Holy Eucharist, Coffee Hour is a place of comfort where we can take the time to increase love for each other as a church community, and find the nourishment – for body and soul – to carry that love out in to the world. It is one of the ways we refill the reservoir that often becomes depleted during the week. It is where we greet each other and build relationships, share our delights and our sadnesses and offer support, and yes, have fun! It is also where we welcome new people and get to know them beyond just a handshake.
The Sunday Eucharist and Coffee Hour are both integral parts of the Sunday morning experience;
one follows seamlessly after the other and complement each other. You are invited to make coffee hour part of your Sunday refreshment!
If you feel able, salads, breads, fruit are always enjoyed by all.
