Grant Award!
Our deepest gratitude to Deacon Bonnie Matthews, Andrew May, and Nancy Jacobs for working on a grant on behalf of our Cathedral. The Hartford Foundation of Giving has shifted their policy and has begun to recognize that some religious organizations provided people with essential needs during the pandemic. The Deacon, Andrew, and Nancy worked on the grant application and CCC was part of the religious organizations that received funding to continue with these programs.
Dean Howell noted " It is a remarkable blessing when our leaders are proactive, seeking to support God's mission in creative ways. I am thankful to Andrew may for bringing this opportunity to our attention, to Deacon Bonnie for coordinating the efforts and to Nancy Jacobs for assisting our deacon in completing the application" .

St. Peter's, Cheshire's, Eco-Justice Council featured in recent article
"How Churches Are Joining the Sustainability Movement" in CircleAround
"Nearly seven years ago, Martha Blume and Marj Chapman got on a bus with a few members of their church and headed to Manhattan for the People's Climate March. A small group among the more than 300,000 Americans in the city for the demonstration that pushed for solutions to the environmental catastrophes facing the world — one of the hundreds of rallies across the globe at the time — the churchgoers returned home wondering what they could do in their small Connecticut community to bring the movement back home."

CHURCH BY THE POND
By Nancy Jacobs, Lay Coordinator
June 19th, 2021
Rev. Dee Littlepage led our congregation of thirty on this hot nearly-summer afternoon in Bushnell Park. Rev. Dee's reflection focused on Jesus's sleeping as his followers panicked during a sea storm. Jesus was present, he provided peace and the storm was weathered. Jesus is the constant who is always with us when we face obstacles and storms in our lives.
Prayers were offered for Juneteenth and racial reckonings, for fathers as we recognize Father's Day, and for an end to violence. Holy Communion was celebrated and shared.
Trinity Episcopal Church, Hartford provided bagged lunches and personal care items for our thirty guests following the service.

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 .
