From the Dean: July 2011

It’s officially summer in the city and a new day at Trinity Cathedral.   We have a new website that will strengthen cathedral communications, marketing, social networking and evangelism in the digital age.   We have a new senior staff with great experience, energy, and enthusiasm.   While we sadly bid farewell to Ten Thousand Villages as they relocated to more suitable retail location; we welcome a new storefront tenant – The Civic Commons.  We have joined forces with other congregations to organize Greater Cleveland Congregations.  We have revitalized and expanded our neighborhood hunger programs.   We have strengthened our relationship with our neighborhood elementary school.  We have transformed our community garden into an urban farm.  We have completed our Culture of Call pilot project, helping over sixty members of the cathedral congregation and staff to identify and explore their God-given strengths and talents.  And we’ve offered hospitality to thousands of people coming to thousands of community events hosted by Trinity Commons.

We’re now busy planning for the 2011-2012 program year. In September, we will welcome our first group of interns as we launch the Cathedral Urban Service Corps.   We will begin a new children’s music ministry and strengthen our Sunday experience for children and their families.  Our adult education programs will examine the theme of “Moving Beyond Violence and Despair.”  We will expand our Culture of Call initiative.  And of course, we will offer a variety of weekly worship services and a variety of music and art events. Trinity Cathedral is a busy and exciting place.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for summer rest and refreshment.  I hope you’ll join us for Summer Sundays at Trinity.  We worship at 8 and 10 with yoga/tai chi and bible study at 9.  Come casual.  Come often.  Bring your friends.  And when you’re on vacation, don’t forget to pay your pledge as we count on your generous financial support.

Many blessings,

Tracey
