Facilities update
As we head into the Easter weekend and prepare to welcome Trinity parishioners and visitors alike for worship services, we hope you'll notice that the view of our campus from Sumter Street looks the best it has in quite some time! Our visiting work crews have completed cleaning and sealing the front facade of the Parish House, and the Cathedral Lawn has been spruced up with fresh landscaping.
Work to clean and seal the exterior of our buildings will continue in the months ahead. And as we prepare to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Parish House, we have plans to update and refurbish many of our internal spaces, including meeting rooms and classrooms. Stay tuned for more details!

Meals were a vital part of Jesus ministry. The first words of God to people were an invitation to eat. Jesus' last act on earth was the Last Supper. The kitchen ministry is also a vital part of life at Trinity. We need your help.
We are always looking for people to prep food, serve, set up and clean up at events, and wash dishes. Contact David Strasburger for more information.
