Prayer Shawl: Crochet / Knitting Group

Meets in the East Transept at 10:15am

Knitters, Crocheters and anyone interested in crafting prayerfully for the benefit of others.

WE'RE MOVING from the Great Hall to the East Transept of the Cathedral for our gathering.

We are meeting at the same time, during the break between 9:00am and 11:15am services.

We can do MORE than shawls, things like hats and blankets, or gifts for babies.  We can celebrate good news as well as providing comfort to those in times of need.

We are happy to TEACH anyone who is interested we have plenty of supplies and plenty of members with decades of experience. 

Easter Small Groups are starting April 12th

For four weeks all the groups will look at the appearances of Jesus in the each of the four Gospels. As you may have experienced in the previous sessions, each of these groups has a different flavor and there is such an abundance that there is a place for everyone. 

Many members shared that they were able to form a deeper connection with other members in the groups, in particular members who they may not have known very well.  They were able to share stories and have an intentional time to listen to each other in ways that are just not possible during coffee hour.

Some groups were able to share these stories while doing an activity they loved, like the gardening group baring their souls while planting seeds. What a growing in faith experience!

This is such a wonderful way to really get to know the other people that are in this great community of Trinity.

Trinity Steps Up for Family Promise!

Earlier this year, one of our sister churches in the Family Promise network was forced to discontinue hosting the families due to a major remodeling project. This left no one to take the families in during the week of April 12, 2015. After some discussion with Family Promise Sacramento and two sister churches, St. John's Lutheran and First United Methodist, Trinity agreed to host the Family Promise families on the nights of Friday, April 17 and Saturday, April 18, 2015. We would like to thank Outreach Ministries coordinator Deacon Steve Skiffington and Properties Manager Dana Chamness for moving heaven and earth (and a few meetings) to have the families stay at Trinity. We'd also like to thank Ric Burwell for offering to haul the Family Promise trailer to the next host church on Sunday morning the 18th, and the coordinators at our sister churches, St. John's Lutheran and First United Methodist. Family Promise Sacramento will provide the dinners and the overnight hosts (all graduates of Family Promise).

We'd also like to welcome MeriAngel Enriquez as our new co-coordinator for Family Promise at Trinity. She's a fantastic addition to a ministry that requires many active hands and brains. Thank you as well to all of you who have stepped up to help the families while they are staying at Trinity. We are grateful for your support!

We welcome all who'd like to be involved in this rewarding ministry. Our Family Promise families return for another week on May 10, 2015, so mark your calendars!
