It takes all of us.
Consider, for a moment, what that means in practice at Trinity Cathedral. Over the next week alone, Trinity has a full schedule of programs, and it’s all-hands-on-deck! On Friday we’ll host a candlelit concert by one of our artists-in-residence, the Cleveland Chamber Choir. On Saturday we’ll gather as a congregation for a chili cookoff to celebrate Stewardship. On Sunday we’ll come together for worship and hear our new Priest Associate, the Rev. Megan Allen-Miller, offer her first homily at Trinity. On Wednesday we’ll celebrate the season with All Hallows Evensong following the 2nd Annual Boo Bash, where we’ll host children and families from the Marion-Sterling community for a safe trick-or-treating experience in the cathedral.
Consider just how many volunteers it takes to make this happen. Consider the skilled and committed staff members who help to support and guide these programs, consider the faithful lay ministry leaders who make sure that our congregation is healthy and vibrant. Consider the richness of worshipping in candlelight or in costume, or simply knowing, during liturgy or a study group or a service project, that you are in the presence of something sacred.
Consider also how each of our gifts, small and large, are needed to make all this happen.
This Sunday we’ll conclude our annual stewardship campaign with a festive Ingathering at each service. If you haven’t yet made a pledge, I invite you to bring your pledge forward during the service, at the offertory, as response to our invitation to give and grow faithfully.
If you prefer to make a pledge online, you may do so here.
It takes all of us. I am so grateful for all you do, from serving to giving to simply being present, so that together we can carry out the ministry of Trinity Cathedral!
Faithfully,
