A Message from the Provost
| |
Dear Trinity Cathedral
On Monday our nation honors the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King is primarily remembered for his profound impact in the civil rights movement. He was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and his contributions are immeasurable. It is also important to remember that Dr. King was an ordained minister in the Baptist Church and was the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama. Dr. King had all the responsibilities of a pastor. He led worship, preached sermons, officiated at baptisms, weddings, and funerals. He organized efforts to feed the hungry, provided clothing and housing to the poor and needy, provided pastoral care, and led Bible studies. Congregational life was at the very heart of Dr. King’s daily life and was the springboard for his nationwide efforts to dismantle unjust systems and to promote the dignity of every human being.
On Monday at 12 noon there will be special prayers in the chapel at Trinity Cathedral in honor of Dr King. If you cannot join us, please consider a taking a moment of silence at this time.
Sincerely,
Fr. Jason Leo

Epiphany 2022
Global Partnership
| |

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you… Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” (Isaiah 60:1, 3, NRSV)
Epiphany is the time of the church year when we celebrate the revealing of Christ to the world. During this season, we celebrate the arrival of the One who is the light of the world: a light that brings life, a light that brings hope. This light shines its brightest when we are in community —with God and with one another.
This year, we celebrate this season and the worldwide community to which we as Episcopalians belong—the Anglican Communion. 2021 is an especially good time to celebrate our connections to the Communion, as we celebrate 100 years of the Good Friday Offering, 20 years of the Young Adult Service Corps, General Convention, and the Lambeth Conference. We hope you will join us in celebrating and rejoicing with our siblings in Christ around the world.
The Office of Global Partnerships of The Episcopal Church invites individuals, small groups, congregations, and dioceses to use this video series throughout the season of Epiphany to draw closer to each other and our Lord. Our weekly videos include a “lectio divina”-style study on the Gospel passage for each Sunday, read by Episcopalians and Anglican Communion partners from around the world. You will hear the passage read at least twice and a short reflection offered by the partners. Then, you will be invited to do your own reflection individually or as a group.

Presiding bishop to speak at King Center celebration as nation honors Martin Luther King Jr.
Episcopal New Service
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will be the keynote speaker Jan. 17 at the annual Martin Luther King Day observance organized by the King Center in Atlanta, Georgia, as Episcopalians prepare to join citizens around the United States in remembering the civil rights icon on the holiday that bears his name.
The King Center, founded by King’s family after his 1968 assassination, has scheduled a week’s worth of activities to commemorate King’s birthday and celebrate his legacy. All of the events will be accessible online, as will the Beloved Community Commemorative Service from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern Jan. 17. Curry will be among the limited number of participants speaking at that event in person. Others include Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
“We often ask ourselves how the life and legacy of people like the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. remain relevant in our current moment, and it would be difficult to overstate how much we need King’s prophetic witness right now,” Curry said in a written statement to Episcopal News Service. “From his tireless advocacy for the right of all Americans to vote, to his model of faith animating nonviolent work for justice, King calls us to continue his work — and to truly labor for the realization of God’s Beloved Community.”

It is more blessed to give than to receive
Non-perishable Food Item Collection
It is often the case that people come to Trinity seeking assistance, and more specifically food. These are difficult times and many struggle to make ends meet. Our ability to do direct outreach is limited because of the pandemic. When you come on Sundays, please consider bringing one or more items of canned or boxed food. We will ask God's blessing upon the offerings every week and then see that they are distributed to individuals and to local food pantries. I pray that we can all approach this enthusiastically and with generosity, mindful of the words of Jesus...
Items to consider include canned goods, peanut butter, packaged cereals, paper products, dish and laundry soaps, and boxed dinners. Please remember that we can not accept expired food or items that need refrigeration.

Ministry of a Lector
During worship, lectors assist in being the transmitters of God’s Word, reading the Old Testament and New Testament lessons in the context of our liturgy. When we take our place at the lectern and open the Bible to read, we are no less actors – storytellers of God’s Story. We strive to re-create, through their lines written thousands of years ago, to bring the Word of God alive to our world in the 21st century. At Trinity, lectors also serve as Intercessors, leading the congregation in the Prayers of the People.
Trinity is also looking for those interested in serving as a greeter / usher. A smiling face and warm welcome are all you need. If you feel called to either or both of these ministries, please contact Fr. Leo at [email protected] or Thomas Porto at [email protected].
