The Commentary

Dear Ones,

I pray you are well and staying cool as the temperatures start creeping up. I write today with an outline of our plan for the coming month as we get our air conditioning unit repaired for the property. This is a fair amount of data, so I thank you in advance for reading!

To start, the good news: we anticipate the replacement cooling tower unit install being completed by May 24, 2024. In bad news, it would cost over $25,000 to have temporary A/C brought into the property for the month of May. So instead of undertaking that expense on top of the half-million dollars we need for the actual project, we will muscle through this warmer season together. It’s only about 4 weeks and the best part is that the coolest part of the whole property is the Cathedral itself! Alleluia!

Knowing this and wanting to keep our staff and parishioners safe, here is how we will proceed:

SUNDAY WORSHIP

On Sunday, May 5, we will return to the old-school practice of moving to summer service times:

9 a.m. in English
11 a.m. in Spanish

Sunday School during both services will be held in the upstairs conference room where there is A/C.

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 Canceled

The Lectio Divina gathering previously scheduled for April 28 has been canceled due to how hot the tea room will be in the afternoon without air conditioning.

Exploring Emotion: May Olney Gallery Exhibit

Karolina Adams works in ink and graphite. Using drawing to unload her feelings, Adams works through her thoughts and emotions. Her artwork uses a striped socks character to depict those feelings and stories. "[My art is] about love and the happy moments that come with it. I share my struggles and triumphs… People lose themselves in my work and find themselves in its emotions, which demonstrates that we're all connected and uniquely the same." Adams has a BFA in Interior Architecture from Columbia College, Chicago. Adams has been in solo and group exhibitions in Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Illinois.

Sarah Simmerman uses color and texture to convey a story of emotion and growth. She blends the abstract with structured elements, contrasting geometric patterns with organic forms. Sarah's experiences with depression and anxiety inform her artistic process and inspiration. "I use color to express myself, and my palette is chosen based on my current state of mind or memories. I am intrigued by how individuals can experience the same art differently based on their past experiences." Sarah has a BFA in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has exhibited her work in Texas, Virginia, and throughout Arizona.

Music at Trinity

May Evensong Canceled

Due to our lack of air conditioning in the Cathedral, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Choral Evensong scheduled for May 12. We have been asked to hold an Evensong service in July in honor of the 50th anniversary of women being ordained priests in the Episcopal Church. More details about that event will be announced in the weeks to come.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Fellowship

World Labyrinth Day

May 4 | 10:00 a.m.

Labyrinth

Gather at Trinity on May 4th to participate in a worldwide event to walk labyrinths around the globe!

This is an international event sponsored by The Labyrinth Society to promote unity, healing and community through the ancient practice of walking the labyrinth in meditation.

This year’s walking participants will also have the opportunity to tie prayer knots for worldwide peace and healing into a quilt provided by the Trinity Quilters.

Anyone with questions may contact Veronica Ritson at veronica.ritson@gmail.com.

Film About First Female Episcopal Priests Showing in Scottsdale

May 21 | 7:00 p.m.

Harkins Shea 14

An award-winning documentary about the Philadelphia Eleven, detailing the first women ordained as priests in the Episcopal Church, will be showing at Harkins Shea 14 in Scottsdale at 7 p.m. on May 21st.

The film’s release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the women’s ordination to the priesthood, and the film is screening in eleven select cities throughout May.

This special one-day-only screening is sponsored by The Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. The event will feature a post-screening conversation with The Rt. Rev. Jennifer Reddall, The Rev. Canon Carmen Guerrero, and Canon Judith Conley.
