The Very Rev. Troy D. Mendez, Dean
Send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me, and bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.
Psalm 43:3
The light and the holiness of God’s love has indeed been sent out by Trinity Cathedral into our neighborhood! As you will read below in this e-news, we have performed tremendous acts of love. We have poured out our hearts in love for our neighbors, and have once again reaffirmed a major tenet of our baptismal covenant:
Celebrant
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving you neighbor as yourself?
People
I will, with Gods's help.
Our acts of love do not go unnoticed, as they spread from our campus on the corner of Central and Roosevelt, and permeate many aspects of our greater community. The difference that Trinity makes today might pave the way for a much brighter future for hundreds of children tomorrow.
The light and the truth that emanates from Trinity Cathedral into our society needs the gifts and talents of each one of us. In our readings for worship this Sunday, Jesus is telling his followers to let him lead the way into the presence of the Living God. He tells his disciples that he himself is the bread of life, and that what he offers is the fullest experience of love imaginable.
From those places in our world where we feel deficient --whether because of material needs, because of lack of resources, because of lack of self-esteem, or because of some other unmet need for wholeness, wellness and love -- Jesus Christ himself promises to fill those voids. God promises to equip us to do God’s work to meet those needs for others. The Holy Spirit goes further and gives us gifts for ministry that sometimes we don’t even know that we have!
The purpose of this by God is very clear. God seeks to unite the entire world to God’s heart. That is, God seeks to restore all people to unity with God’s very self and with one another, in Christ.
Our presence in the world sends out light. Our ministry in the world reveals great truth.
The people of Trinity, in all we do, are empowered by God to be a “holy hill” for all the world to see. By our actions and our prayers, God has made a dwelling among us, inviting us to continue carrying out Trinity’s mission. In partnership with Jesus, we are called to nothing less than changing the world for the better!
We all play a part. We all have unique gifts and talents. Together, we send out God’s light and truth!
Be a light bearer,

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
John 13:3
I am going away for the month of August and would be remiss if I didn’t thank you all for all the love and generosity you show everyday…… toys for the kids at Christmas, backpacks for Garfield Elementary kids, water for those experiencing homelessness and deliveries of food every week to make sure that members in our community don’t go hungry... you hear what is needed and never fail to respond…..with abundance, generosity and love.

“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat…”
Matthew 25:35
As the Cathedral begins to reopen, you can deliver shelf-stable food items to the Cathedral’s Atwood Hall during summer office hours and Sundays.
New Pantry Needs:
- Pasta, all kinds, Mac & Cheese
- Beans
- Other canned items, such as tomatoes, vegetables, Fruit, Tuna, Chicken
- Rice
- Fruit cups, Peanut Butter, Jelly
- Cereal
- Powdered Milk
We are currently distributing food twice a month, each family receiving a combination of protein, fruit and vegetables, and pasta. Each extra bag of food given out costs
approximately 20 dollars. So please do not feel you need to bring a table full of food (though we love getting all that food!), just a bag with a selection from the items above. Please avoid glass jars if you can, as the bags get heavy.
Want to help at the Food Pantry? Volunteers needed!
We will be sorting, packing, and stacking food items two Thursdays per month from 8:30am – 10:30am at the Garfield School 811 N. 13th street location. To volunteer or if you need further information, please contact the Rev. Myra Kingsley below.
