 TRINITY EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL
e-News
"A Growing community making disciples who love and serve Christ and His world"
|
| Greetings!
I am happy to announce that we are hiring The Rev. Kathy Hopner to serve as our Director of Family Ministries starting August 1, 2013. Some of you may remember Kathy from when she was active in the cathedral before she was ordained.

The Rev. Kathy Hopner (second from left) |
Ordained in 2007, Kathy comes to Trinity after 7 years of ministry in the Reno area. Her undergraduate degree in child development and an M.A. in education reflect her life-long passion for working with children, youth and families. An MDiv from the Church Divinity School of the Pacific has allowed her to focus on developing innovative, joyful formation programs for children and youth. An experienced hospital chaplain, Kathy has also created outreach programs to support children in the Reno area. A veteran of both mission trips and Christmas pageants, she is looking forward to working with Trinity's families!
Kathy and her husband, Vic, have two grown daughters and four amazing grandchildren. I am also pleased to announce that Amy Dierlam has agreed to serve as the interim Director of Family Ministries between when Nancy retires on June 16 and Kathy begins on August 1. I am very grateful for Amy's willingness to step in and keep our programs running smoothly.
 Blessings,
Brian

Renovating the Church Nursery
"A wonderful way to say farewell to Nancy Tennyson"
Canon Nancy Tennyson has spent much of her church life at Trinity Cathedral promoting Christian education and encouragement from toddlers to college-bound young adults. As she retires from her position as Director of Christian Education, it would be a thoughtful and needed gift for the congregation to provide a remembrance of Nancy's leadership. To that end a proposal was made to renovate the church nursery to spruce it up for the next generation of children coming to Trinity.
We are asking that each member of Trinity Cathedral make a donation to this project. Ruth Fitch our Junior Warden, will be in charge of the renovation project and has designed plans for new floors, cabinetry and wall designs, depending on the funds raised.
Please be generous and make checks payable to Trinity Cathedral, with a notation: Nursery Renovation. For further questions, contact Rob Stoinoff at 916 372-3563 or see him during the coffee hour on Sundays. |

Sacramento Pride Parade and Festival
Saturday, June 15, 10 - noon
Downtown Sacramento (assembly location TBD)
Please RSVP to shireenmiles@comcast.net
Please join Trinity Cathedral's delegation by marching with other members of our congregation in the 2013 Pride Parade, always a great way to let our community know that we are a warm and wonderful "Believe Out Loud" welcoming parish. If you want to have fun, and feel loved and appreciated, come out for this event. The LGBTQ community has often been received with hostility by Christian churches-our witness that Trinity welcomes ALL is a powerful and moving manifestation of God's love. ALL ARE WELCOME. Don't miss it!
Besides strong representation from Sacramento's faith community, other parade participants have included the Wells Fargo Bank Stagecoach, PG&E, Regional Transit, SMUD, Sacramento Police and Fire.
The festival follows the parade. Entrance is $10 per person, which is the major fundraiser for Sacramento's Gay & Lesbian Center, which offers many services to Sacramento's LGBTQ community, including educational projects and support groups for youth.
