Water Donations Needed

With highs already in the 90s, we have seen an increase in our unhoused neighbors coming to our campus and asking for water. To help serve those most vulnerable to the summer heat, we are asking for donations of cases of bottled water, sunscreen, and other items that can help them survive the months to come.

Garfield Teacher Appreciation Day

May 9

Our community partner, Garfield Elementary School, will be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Day on May 9.

To help with their efforts, we're hoping to provide a bag full of goodies: cookies, brownies, maybe a slice of your famous banana bread, etc. Please bring any treats you'd like to provide to the Cathedral by May 7th.

We will also need help to fill all the bags on Wednesday, May 8th

If you have any questions, please email Deacon Myra Kingsley at myra@trinitycathedral.com.

Nourish Phoenix Requested Items

As part of our ongoing partnership with Nourish Phoenix, we have been informed that the following items are most in-demand at the moment, and they have asked us to focus on collecting them for the people they serve:

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bars of soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent. They also have a constant demand for feminine hygiene products (pads and tampons).

None of these items can be purchased with SNAP benefits, and can be very expensive for those with limited means. You can either purchase large quantities of the needed items and Nourish will divide them into smaller containers (such as the empty pill bottles we have already been collecting!) or you can purchase travel size versions of the items.

If you have any questions, please email Deacon Myra Kingsley at myra@trinitycathedral.com.

Lectio Divina Gathering

April 28 | 1:00 p.m.

Tea Room

All are invited to attend this month's gathering of Lectio Divina, an ancient contemplative practice where members gather to reflect and meditate on passages from scripture.

It differs from church traditions and services in that participants strive to interact with the quietness of Spirit, and access their faith practice from within and with fellow participants. The group meets on the fourth Sunday of every month in the early afternoon.

Urban Nocturnes Concert

April 21 | 4:00 p.m.

Cathedral

Trinity’s Resident Ensemble, Urban Nocturnes, returns for their spring concert, featuring Karen Sinclair, Christopher McKay, Melita Hunsinger and Erin Finkelstein, on April 21.

All four kick off the program with the Quartet in E-flat Major by 19th Century Finnish composer and clarinetist Berhard Crusell, a rare late-Classical exploration of clarinet chamber music. This is followed by German-Dutch composer Julius Röntgen’s String Trio No. 2 “Dvorak,” a lilting and indulgent fantasia.

In the second part of the program, the soulful colors of the clarinet and viola entwine in Rebecca Clarke’s Prelude, Allegro and Pastorale, composed in the 1940s, and Jewish-Austrian Hans Gál’s Serenade for

Clarinet, Violin and Cello combines Romantic lyricism with Modern chromaticism.

Tickets are $25 and student discount tickets are $10 (must present valid student ID at the door). Both are available online and at the door.

This Concert is Sponsored by The Trinity Music Guild. To purchase tickets and for more information on this and other Music at Trinity concerts,
