The day was drawing to a close, and the twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place.” But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” They did so and made them all sit down. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
Luke 9:12-17
While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.
Luke 24:41-43
Dear friends,
Luke first brings us to the countryside where Jesus is healing and teaching the people, and the sun is going down. The day is drawing to a close. Darkness is descending and covering the people in the blanketing way outdoor darkness deepens. In the dark, among hundreds and hundreds of hungry and hopeful children, women, and men, Jesus organizes an abundant community meal from five loaves and two fish. Jesus blesses God for the food and gives the fish and bread to his disciples to set before the crowd. The people are settled in groups and the women move forward and take the fish and bread to their families. The miracle of being fed by Jesus, and the joy in eating with family and community, was not overcome by the dark night. The meal was celebrated and shared by thousands of weak and vulnerable people.
The souls described in Luke 24 are a smaller, fragile group, the disciples and the women are gathered in darkness in a deserted place. Jesus arrives in their midst standing among them saying, “Peace be with you,” and asking, “have you anything here to eat?” Surprised and while in their joy, they give Jesus broiled fish. As before on a different night, all ate together in companionship with God and were filled.
Now it is Easter, and we are coming from dark and deserted places, gathering together with God and each other. In our joy let us pray,
We thank you for our food. We thank you for the hands that have prepared it, and the friends, family, and community who share our meal. We thank you for bringing us safely to this moment. We thank you for sustaining us with life. We thank you for sustaining us with the loves of our lives. Broaden and deepen our love and our caring. We invite all who are hungry to our table. We cry for healing, for release from illness and brokenness. We rejoice with great joy in your resurrection! May we eat our meal with you, bringing everyone to your table, Amen.

Thank you Trinity
Thank you for the food donations, they are helping to keep the most vulnerable in our community fed! We are continuing to collect food to keep our pantry at Garfield Elementary School stocked. So again, thank you for your generosity and love.
Another way to help with the Garfield partnership is through delivery of the food supplies. All of your donations are scooped up on Thursday at the Cathedral and taken over to Garfield Elementary School, currently on Thursday mornings. It would be great if we could have a team of people to take turns driving the supplies over and hand them off to the custodial staff at the school. The more people we get, the easier this ministry gets! It’s easier with a team of two and more fun(!) but not necessary.
Our Garfield partnership is growing and expanding, and you will be hearing more about opportunities to help.
If interested in delivering the food supplies, please email or call me at the information below.

Drop Off Food Donations on Tuesdays 10 am to 12 pm |
|
Remember: If you are bringing donations for Garfield Elementary or for Nourish Phoenix (formerly ICM Food and Clothing Bank), that due to COVID restrictions we are only accepting donations on Tuesday this week from 10 am -12 pm.
Food Pantry Needs for Garfield Community:
- Pasta (spaghetti and elbow macaroni are favorites)
- Rice
- Small cans of tuna and canned chicken
- Canned beans especially pinto and black beans
- Canned corn, peas, mixed veggies, green beans
- Canned fruit, individualized apple sauce cups, individual fruit cups
- Canned spaghetti sauce or pasta sauce (avoid glass)
- Canned soup
- Jelly (non-glass if possible)
- Peanut butter (not-glass preferably)
- Cereal
We are trying to avoid glass because some families walk to the school using a baby carriage, small cart or wagon. With what they receive from the district, the final "load" can be somewhat precarious!
Remember, to bring food on Tuesday, wear your masks and know that you are helping to ensure that the children in our community do not have to go to bed hungry! If that is a problem for you, please email me below and we will work something out.
Thank you!

Trinity Cathedral
Benevolence Fund
|
|
Dear Friends,
Your cathedral chapter has established a Benevolence Fund to provide financial support for individuals and families who have fallen on difficult times financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The scale of the coronavirus crisis is unmatched in recent history. It is a global pandemic that has reshaped society at every level and is reorienting our relationship to our community and to one another.
Our cathedral community has always rallied around members when they've experienced extreme hardship, and this is one of the ways that all of us can do something to help.
To that end, the cathedral chapter has established a restricted fund known as The Benevolence Fund to provide financial support for individuals and families who have fallen on difficult times financially as a result of or in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whether people have lost jobs, had pay reduced, or are struggling to survive, the Benevolence Fund is designed to provide one-time payments to help those affiliated with Trinity Cathedral move through these unprecedented times.
We are the people of Trinity Cathedral, and daily, we live into our mission: Welcoming all to be transformed in Christ through worship, fellowship, and service.
