Embracing an Alternative Orthodoxy: Richard Rohr on the Legacy of St. Francis

Presenter: Canon Lynell Walker    

Richard Rohr's exploration of what we hold to be the anchors of the Christian faith through the lens of the life and teachings of St. Francis.  Rohr is always teaching us to live beyond possibility yet does so by drawing on our rich tradition. All materials will be provided.

Ruth-less Religion

Presenter: Morey Lloyd                

This short three act play in the Book of Ruth reveals a reformation within the Scriptures to upset even the staunchest believer by demonstrating the true nature of the Eternal One. Here we find the redeeming inclusiveness of the promise of life lived to its fullness. Drama overshadows the Dogma of what it means to love the neighbor. Life becomes a witness to the Acts of God. 

Bible and Book of Common Prayer Challenge 

Facilitators: Rhonda Canby and the Rev. Randy Knutson

The goal is to read one chapter in the New Testament, one Psalm, and one of the prayers in the Book of Common Prayer each day for one year to anchor each day in scripture, and to become familiar with the beauty of the prayers in the Prayer Book.

LET MY PEOPLE VOTE

ˇDESPIERTA MI PUEBLO! ˇVOTA!

This November, we're all voting.

As people of faith, we're called to make our voices and our values heard at the ballot box.

Every single day, families in our community face the consequences of economic inequality, heartbreaking levels of violence, health disparities and the separation of their families through mass incarceration and senseless deportations. Our vote is our power to change these things.

Sacramento Area Congregations Together (ACT) is taking action, and Trinity's local organizing committee (T-ACT) will be working diligently with other congregations to educate low-incidence voters and get them to the polls. WE need you to do two things:

1) Make a pledge that you will vote on November 4 (pledge cards available at welcome center) and get your friends to sign one, too;

2) Come out to help with T-ACT Phone Banking, for the next six Tuesday nights from 5:30 - 8:30 pm in Room C at Trinity Cathedral.

Phone Banking Dates: September 23, 30, October 7, 14, 21, 28

Tour de Pink for Breast Cancer

by Michelle Barry

October will bring the 2 year anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis. You may have heard me speak about what an incredible healing experience riding in the Young Survival Coalition's Tour de Pink was last year on my 1st anniversary, and Jorge and I are excited to be riding again this year! On October 17-19, starting in Paso Robles, CA, we will ride our bikes over 200 miles with other young survivors, co-survivors, and others to raise money for the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) and increase awareness that young women can and do get breast cancer.

While 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their life, less than 7% of diagnoses are made in women under 40. A breast cancer diagnosis can be especially shocking and challenging for young women. At a time in life most often reserved for family and career, issues of treatment, recovery and survivorship suddenly take top priority. With treatment, the chances of survival for young women diagnosed with early breast cancer (like me!) are good. However, breast cancers in younger women tend to be more aggressive and more likely to require chemotherapy. The YSC is providing an important source of information and support for young survivors and those who love them!

We are asking for your support-all donations big or small are appreciated! The YSC is a 501( c )(3) not-for-profit organization. To make a donation, please visit my Tour de Pink page at
