Stations of the City

Friday, April 18

On Good Friday Rev. Kathy Hopner and Rev. Megan Anderson will lead a stations of the city liturgy. This service blends elements of Stations of the Cross with elements of contemporary city living. Stations of the cross originated as a way in which Christians could take a sort of pilgrimage journey reflecting on the last moments of Jesus' life. This Good Friday we will share the story of Jesus' last hours while walking to sites in need of justice work such as Loaves and Fishes, the hospital, and the RT station. The Stations Journey will start with worship at the Cathedral at noon and will end back at the Cathedral before the main Good Friday vigil has concluded. If you would like to offer a short reflection at one of our stops or would like to be involved in the stations in any other way, please let us know! Questions? Contact megan@trinitycathedral.org

at the Great Vigil of Easter

 Saturday, April 19 at 7:30pm

As we near the end of Holy Week and gather at the Great Vigil of Easter, we are invited to BRING A BELL to the Cathedral this Saturday night to ring during this glorious liturgy.  Following the Old Testament readings the Bishop will approach the altar and declare for the congregation gathered:  "Alleluia! Christ is Risen!" and we will respond, "The Lord is risen indeed!  Alleluia!"  As the altar candles are newly lit,  we will join in singing the Easter Song of Praise, grab our bells, and let it rip! 

The Rev. Lynell Walker, Canon Pastor

Marin Headlands behind the Golden Gate Bridge.

Floyd School teachers, parents, and children in the 4th and 5th grades, are planning a field trip to the Marin Headlands. For some children, this will be the first time they have ever seen the ocean. For some it will be the first time they have ever seen the Golden Gate bridge, a national landmark less than 150 miles from their doorstep. For nearly all, it will be an unforgettable experience. For five days and four nights, children will engage in learning about ecosystems, the ocean, animals, birds, and bugs, as well as the history and geography of the San Francisco Bay!

In order to make this experience a reality, funds must be raised to pay for the expenses involved: transportation, meals, accommodations, fees, and insurance. The cost for each child is $150.00. Floyd School is the adopted school of

A ranger shows children how toorient a compass.

Trinity Cathedral, which means the school is an outreach project. The school is a 100 percent poverty school and because of that, Trinity has undertaken a fund-raising campaign to make sure every 4th and 5th grade child (all 67 of them!) has the opportunity to go to the ocean this year. Can you help?

Our campaign asks you to sponsor one child to experience this opportunity. If you are unable to fully sponsor a child, would you be willing to donate a different amount to help the schoolchildren get to the Marin Headlands? We hope you will.

Please make checks to Trinity Cathedral and put 'Floyd Trip' in the memo line.
