The Cathedral Open for Prayers Wednesday Afternoon

Trinity will host a brief community service of noonday prayer in the wake of the Charleston shooting this Wednesday, June 24 in the Cathedral. The noon service will draw from our Book of Common Prayer. The Rev'd Calvin Griffin from St. Luke's Episcopal Church, our predominately African-American neighbor parish, will help lead.

The Cathedral will be open for quiet prayer following the service all afternoon, till 5 pm, while the late Rev'd and Honorable Clementa Pinckney will lie in state across the street at the Capitol. Brief spoken prayers will be said on the hour each hour, and we will toll our church bell on the hour as well. Please join this special opportunity and spread the word!

A Time for Overflowing Gratitude

As we enjoy the summer months with vacations and visits, it is easy to let our financial giving to the Cathedral's ministries drop off. Please prayerfully consider how your gratitude for all we experience together can be reflected in your summer giving.
