The Very Rev. Troy D. Mendez, Dean

August 15, 2019
There is nothing better for mortals than to eat and drink,
and find enjoyment in their toil. This also, I saw, is from
the hand of God; for apart from him who can eat
or who can have enjoyment?
-- Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture
where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.
-- Brene Brown
Summer in Phoenix is a blend of work, rest, and play. Everyone finds their own balance. Some people escape the heat and leave the area all together. Others prefer to work during the summer months, and make plans for leisure time later when the temperatures get a bit cooler. Regardless of your personal practice, we are called to pay attention to how we account for our time.
At Trinity, our cathedral clergy and staff spend the Summer making plans for everything that will be happening during our program year. This work is continuous throughout the Summer months, but the end results of our hard work pay off when our beloved cathedral offers greater Phoenix and our diocese even more opportunities to engage with art, music, prayer, community outreach, faith formation, and above all, to gather for the worship of Almighty God. These encounters do not magically happen. They are carefully planned for the enrichment and enjoyment of everyone, with the hope of increasing our faith and expanding our love for God and one another.
Starting this Sunday at Trinity, you will begin to see the fruits of our labor. Our announcement bulletin will invite you into more opportunities to engage, and our ministry teams will begin to offer highlights of their wonderful offerings for the Fall.
Some of our offerings include diocesan events, such as the Episcopal Night at the Diamondbacks, which will be held on September 13. You can find out all about the event by clicking on this link: https://azdiocese.org/baseball.html. Order your tickets today, and gather with our bishop and our diocesan attendees as we gather at Trinity for a pre-game celebration before heading to the ballpark. Mark your calendars and purchase your tickets today!
Please know your clergy and staff are always interested in your feedback! We are here to not only support you in your faith journey, but we are here to help you grow fully into your calling as a member of Christ's holy church, the beloved family of God. You have ideas and you have dreams that we want to hear, because the Holy Spirit is likely calling you into a new life and a new presence of God's joy that goes beyond your wildest dreams. Let us help you discover all that God has in store for you this year.
Whether we are at work, at home, or out with our friends, we are indeed blessed by God, and invited to enjoy our lives with one another. Through our community life, we encounter a vibrant and living presence of God, who calls us into an even greater reality of love. Trinity Cathedral is a place where God's love is revealed daily, and as a result, we champion our mission in everything we do: Welcoming all to be transformed in Christ, through worship, fellowship, and service.
In Christ's love,

Telecare is coming August 20 - 22
What is Tele-Care you ask? This is when a loyal group of volunteers gather in the evening from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. to make phone calls to all our members. This is not a solicitation of any kind. The call is simply to say "hello," to let you know you are a valuable member of our community, and to find out if there is anything we need to know about you or your situation such as a prayer request or even an updated email address or cell phone number. So please be expecting a call from the Cathedral August 20th -22nd.

August 24 - Wall-E -
Work and relationships matter, but the joy we derive from them is rooted not in obligation but in the recognition that life is a gift. Like the humans who return to the ravaged Earth along with WALL*E and EVE in the film, our response to this gift should be marked by a spirit of gratitude and cultivation rather than coercion and manipulation. Only then will our work and our relationships and our environment flourish.

Come and see what God has to say about the spiritual practices of Turn - Learn - Pray - Worship - Bless - Go - Rest. Informed by scripture and inspired through prayer, these practices offer the opportunity to transform our relationship with ourselves, with our family and communities, and with our Savior.

Phoenix Landmarks: Art by Manny Burruel
This exhibit is focused on Phoenix Landmarks. Growing up here, I have the same iconic landmarks as most Phoenicians. However, some landmarks have only personal significance to me. The landmarks or the spaces where they were, evoke wistfulness or joy. They take me back to important moments. They are markers of my life.
Manny Burruel is the Visual Arts Ministry leader at Trinity. He often uses subject matter that connects to his past and triggers a nostalgic connection for the viewer. Burruel studied drafting at Phoenix College in the 80s, and art at Glendale Community College in the 90s. He has since shown his work in galleries and museums throughout Arizona.
Artist Reception: Monday, August 19th from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The Eric Fischl Gallery @ Phoenix Community College
1202 W. Thomas Road Phoenix, AZ 85013
On Exhibit August 19th - September 8
Gallery open Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
