This Week's Message from the ECCT Reparations Task Force
Did you know? Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
To understand Juneteenth is to begin to understand the history of this country through the lens of justice or the lack thereof. Two and a half years after President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, Major General Gordon Granger led a group of Union soldiers to Galveston, Texas to proclaim the end of the Civil War and the enslaved were free. This happened on June 19, 1865. June 19th was coined Juneteenth and continues to be celebrated to this day. (Adapted from Juneteenth.com)
Learn more about Juneteenth and check out a variety of great resources in ECCT’s special edition eNews, "Honoring Juneteenth." Learn more.

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
June 12th, 2021
This was a day of celebration at Church By The Pond. Ten years ago members of our Cathedral and guests of Church Street Eats heard God's call to bring church to Bushnell Park. Their vision and work laid the foundation of Church By The Pond.
Dean Miguelina Howell welcomed our congregation before the service. Special thanks was given to our founders, to our lay leaders Nancy Jacobs, Andrew May and Carlos Figueroa, and our steady rota of clergy. Our usual Saturday congregation was blessed to be joined by clergy and lay leaders of other churchers who have long been friends to our ministry. Forty-nine gathered in prayer on this joyous afternoon.
Rev. Taylor Albright was today's celebrant and preacher as we prayed and received the sacrament of Holy Communion. Father Taylor spoke of the mustard seed and reminded us of the small, significant works that Jesus was able to accomplish. He compared our ministry to that mustard seed which has continued to flourish as we do God's work in small, meaningful ways.
Bagged lunches and personal care items were shared with 29 guests following the service. Trinity Episcopal Church, Tariffville provided those gifts.

Christ Church Cathedral serves the entire Episcopal Church in Connecticut community for the good of the whole, and is the seat of the bishops. It is "our cathedral." Our Cathedral hosts four congregations in one worshiping community. It's not a parish, as its role is unique in the diocese (see 2015 task force report & resolution). In this its centennial year, Cathedral leaders and Centennial Committee members wish to remind all Episcopalians in CT that by virtue of their membership in a parish, they are members of our Cathedral. All are welcome at any time, and in particular, invited to these events .
