This Sunday is the Day of Pentecost! | |
Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
This Sunday, May 19th, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit into the world and the gathering together of all peoples from diverse places and cultures. From the Greek word pentecostē, which means "50th day," we celebrate Pentecost on the Sunday closest to the 50th day after Easter. The feast corresponds with the ancient Jewish Festival of Weeks, a festival of the harvest and first fruits in the ancient Near East which took place 50 days after Passover.
The New Testament refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1), shortly after Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension. Christians came to understand the meaning of Pentecost in terms of the gift of the Spirit. The Pentecost event was the fulfillment of a promise which Jesus gave concerning the return of the Holy Spirit. The speaking in tongues, which was a major effect of having received the Spirit, is interpreted by some to symbolize the church's worldwide preaching. In the Christian tradition, Pentecost is now the seventh Sunday after Easter. It emphasizes that the church is understood as the body of Christ which is drawn together and given life by the Holy Spirit (from: An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church).

For us here at Trinity, Pentecost is a truly special day of sharing the gift of the Holy Spirit among our Cathedral family - we are a community of many nations and languages and cultures. This Sunday, we will gather at **10:00 a.m. for a festive, bilingual Holy Eucharist, followed by a delicious lunch served in the back of the nave. If you would like, please bring a dessert to share! The color red on Pentecost is a traditional symbol of the Holy Spirit, so don't forget to wear something red this Sunday!
(**NOTE: The 8:00 and 10:00 Holy Eucharists will take place as scheduled, but there is no 12:15 Holy Eucharist this Sunday.)

"Pews to Chairs" Project
There is still time to donate a chair!
For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success. In many cases, it has allowed congregations to experience a transformation and rebirth of their communities. Stackable, multi-use chairs will give Trinity a fully flexible and multi-purpose space that functions not only for worship, but for a variety of ministry and community events. (See the above picture of Trinity's new cathedral chairs which arrived the week before Christmas.)
The success of Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project depends on the donation of chairs by cathedral parishioners, congregations, and individuals across The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida and the wider Church. Chairs may be donated in honor of or in memory of a loved one or in honor of a specific church, congregation, or organization. Please consider donating one or more chairs!
To donate: Please download the chair donation form HERE, complete it, and make your check payable to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Please make sure to write “Pews to Chairs” in the memo line. Mail checks and forms to: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16th Street, Miami, FL 33132.
Online donations can also be made on the Cathedral website (www.trinitymiami.org) under the “Giving” tab – please be sure to choose the “Pews to Chairs Campaign” on the dropdown menu to designate your donation.
Please reach out to Father Jason by email at frjason@trinitymiami.org if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find more details about the Pews to Chairs project HERE.
