Volunteers are needed for Marion-Sterling School’s annual carnival, which takes place on Friday, June 1, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Students will enjoy carnival-style games, music, snacks and prizes. Volunteers are needed to help set up, 8:30-11 a.m., monitor games 11 a.m.-2 p.m., and clean up, 2-3 p.m. Please support our neighborhood students as they have some fun at the end of the school year!

Volunteers are also needed at the urban farm (located at E. 35th and Cedar) every Saturday. [Read more...]

Trinity’s urban farm leader, Scott Blanchard, reports that water has been restored to Trinity’s Urban Farm as of May 1. The city had contractors install a flush hydrant available for the farm’s use. Earlier in the year, the Plain Dealer’s Michael McIntyre reported on the loss of the farm’s water supply.

Volunteers are always welcome. The urban farm is located at E. 35th and Cedar. [Read more...]

Work has begun in the Trinity Urban Farm (formerly the community garden) and volunteers are welcome Saturday mornings (typically from 9 a.m.-noon). The farm is located at E. 35th and Cedar in downtown Cleveland. Collard greens, one of the first winter crops, will be harvested this Saturday, April 14 and will be used on Sunday to feed A Place at the Table guests.

Volunteer tasks include cleaning up winter debris, getting the raised beds ready for planting, mulching, mowing and more. [Read more...]

Are you interested in serving as a sacristan for the 12:10 Thursday Healing Eucharist service? A weekly commitment is not necessary. If you would like to volunteer for only one or two weeks a month, let us know. To learn more, contact Dani Smith or Todd Wilson at 216-774-0421.

Are you a college student looking for a church? Because we are a church looking for college students! Trinity wants to start a weekly Canterbury club on campus and we need college students to help us get started. Every meeting would include lunch. If you are interested in amazing volunteer opportunities, internships, service projects, mission trips and a chance to meet other Christians, please get in touch with the Rev. Sahra Harding at sharding@dohio.org or 216-774-0409.

Beginning this Thursday and continuing every Thursday through May 3 (from 12-1 p.m.), Trinity has reserved a space on the Cleveland State University campus in order to gather with students and invite them into the scene of Trinity Cathedral. If you would like to be part of this effort to connect with college students in our neighborhood, please contact The Rev. Sahra Harding at sharding@dohio.org or 216-774-0409.

Music and Art at Trinity Cathedral is seeking volunteers to work in the kitchen during the Medieval Feasts on both Jan. 20 and Jan. 21. The kitchen work is fast-paced and you will be on your feet. Volunteers are also needed to set tables on both Friday and Saturday (beginning at noon both days). If you are able to help, contact Sally Winter.

Individuals willing to help the Rev. Sahra Harding prepare meals for the diocesan senior high Happening event may contact her at sharding@dohio.org or 216-774-0409. Volunteer cooks are also needed for the staff retreat on Jan. 27-29 to prepare for the event. Happening takes place Feb. 24-26. This is an annual event hosted by the diocese, but designed by youth and led by youth for the faith formation of their peers. It is wonderful opportunity for these youth to live deeper into their faith and share their experiences with others. This year, the event will take place at Trinity Cathedral. The adults involved show their support by offering home cooked meals for the participating youth. Click here to learn more about Happening.

Are you interested in serving as an acolyte at the 5 p.m. Solemn Sung Eucharist, on the first Sunday of the month (October-June)? Acolytes perform several important roles in the worship service — they carry torches and the Gospel book in procession and perform other liturgical duties. Adults or youth (preferably 4th grade and older) may be trained as acolytes for the 5 p.m. or 11:15 a.m. service. Current acolytes who are interested in assisting with the 5 p.m. service and individuals who would like to be trained are invited to contact Tim or Dani Smith, or Todd Wilson, twilson@dohio.org, 216-774-0421.

So far, volunteers have harvested more than 3,020 pounds from Trinity’s Community Garden. The food is used to feed our hungry neighbors, including A Place at the Table guests. This year’s goal was 3,000 pounds and there is still more harvesting to do. Workdays are held on Saturdays (typically from about 9 to 11 a.m.). On Oct. 22, a group from the diocese’s Cuyahoga Mission Area Council will also help in the garden. Leader Scott Blanchard says there is still lots to do: planting additional winter crops and cover ground, as well as raking leaves for the compost bin. If you have a truck and would be willing to help transport 400 tomato cages to winter storage in Mather Hall, contact Blanchard.
