What Are Circles?
Cathedral Circles are lay-led interest groups that explore a variety of topics and activities around the themes of justice, faith education, service, spirituality, and fun!
Cathedral Circles create and support opportunities for social engagement and community-building through small groups. Small groups build trusting relationships with God and one another. When we meet each other for conversation, practice, and prayer, we learn how to love. Cathedral Circles are small groups that provide spaces for prayerful support and action in the world as we follow Jesus.

Racial Justice Rule of Life
Mission Team: Peace, Justice & Mercy
Facilitator: Marie Curry
The Racial Justice Rule of Life discussion group is designed to support us as we strive to create and sustain a culture at Trinity Cathedral that is welcoming, humble, and caring.
Divine Feminine
Mission Team: Faith Formation
Facilitators: Pam Meyers & Charlotte Nichols
This group explores the Divine Feminine Spiritual Path in the journey to expand our relationship with God. In this pursuit, the group engages in prayer, meditation, studying texts, compassionate listening, and simply being present with God and each other.
Crossing the Political Divide
Mission Team: Faith Formation
Facilitators: Anne Kmieck & Toni Ponzo
This group explores, practices, and implements strategies to engage in short, regular conversations with those in our lives whose political perspectives are widely different than our own, in the context of those relationships. Each meeting the group will share and discuss how these conversations went and collectively gather insights into best practices.
The purpose is to bridge the fraught divide of political realities with persons in our lives, discover the visions we share, and widen both perspectives. The hope is that these experiences result in awareness of how practicing civil conversations about difficult perspectives can be a positive force in society.

Urban Farm
Mission Team: Neighborhood Partnerships
Facilitator: Geoffrey Jacobson
Trinity’s Urban Farm is an innovative urban garden dedicated to sustainable practices, local art, and faithful stewardship of God’s creation. Currently, our harvest goes directly to The Friendly Inn Settlement’s free food pantry program in our neighborhood, making this a true farm-to-table initiative.
Volunteers gather Saturday mornings from 9 a.m.–12 p.m. at the farm, located at the corner of E. 35th St. and Cedar Ave., less than one mile from the cathedral. Tasks include planting, watering, nurturing, harvesting, mowing, trimming, weeding, raking and more.
This ministry is supported by Trinity’s Neighborhood Partnership Mission Team.

Daughters of the King
Mission Team: Faith Formation
Facilitator: Fran Csoma
The Daughters of the King is a religious order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church and churches in communion with it. Trinity’s chapter was formed in 1936 and reorganized in June 2003. The mission of the order is to be the extension of Christ’s Kingdom through prayer, service, and evangelism. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to reflect God’s love throughout the world. Daughters take a lifetime vow to live by the Rule of Life, by reaffirmation of the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation. Daughters live by the Rule of Prayer, daily prayers including prayers for the prosperity of the parish to which her chapter owes allegiance. Membership is mostly in the United States, with chapters in Africa, Asia, Europe, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean Basin.
