NorCal AIDS Cycle benefit concert a rousing success!
I am very happy to share with all of you the success of my benefit organ concert last Sunday! A enthusiastic supportive group shared an afternoon of great classic organ music. And in doing so we raised a thousand dollars for NorCal AIDS Cycle! If you haven't donated to NCAC for 2013 yet, with the ride just three weeks away, now is the time! However, instead of donating to my fund, I am asking you to donate on behalf of my teammate and fellow Trinity member Adriana Echandia. Adriana needs your help to make her fund-raising goal in the next three weeks! Just click this link to contribute: http://tinyurl.com/c8jnvttAnd as always, a big thank you to all of you who have supported this great organization, which really makes a big difference in our community!

St. Mark's United Methodist Church

Sacramento Area Congregations Together (ACT) brings together congregations and policy makers to advocate for social change. Trinity Cathedral is proud to have been one of the founding congregations of ACT. At Trinity, our organizing committee is known as Trinity ACT or T-ACT. Based on the many one-on-one interviews we conducted last spring, we determined that our priority should be the root causes and solutions to homelessness.
Trinity Cathedral already does a great job ministering to the day-to-day needs of of the homeless with our community dinners, Safe Ground sleep ins, Family Promise hosting, and our on-going support of River City Food Bank. T-ACT hopes to go even further: our goal is to end homelessness in the Sacramento area.
On May 22nd, 2013 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at St. Mark's United Methodist Church, 2391 St. Marks Way (in the Arden-Arcade area), we will hold a community meeting with city and county officials. Other congregations working on health care and blight will join us. Together, we will ask for commitments to support the most promising local city and county initiatives to address homelessness, end blight in our neighborhoods, and increase access to health care under the new Affordable Care Act for those who currently lack coverage.
