HARVEST: A Celebration of Abundance
Set to the Music of Neil Young
Saturday, September 18 at 6 p.m.
Join Trinity Episcopal Cathedral for a Eucharistic celebration of harvest and abundance set to the music of the man recently named "the second most influential living songwriter", Neil Young.
The offering will go to Trinity's food ministries, which served nearly 20,000 meals in 2009 and is on track to exceed that this year. If "rust never sleeps," then neither should our fight against hunger. A full set of Neil songs, from "Helpless" to "The Way," will echo through the Cathedral as Trinity’s Band and Children’s Choirs lead us in worship set to the music of a legendary singer, songwriter, and prophet. For additional information, please e-mail Communications Coordinator Pam Knepper or call 503-478-1201.
Calling All Trinity Cyclists!
Sunday Parkways Northwest, sponsored by the City of Portland, is coming up on Sunday, September 26 from 10:00-3:00. It’s a 2-way route of city streets open to walk, bike, roll, run, jump, and skip.

So come to church dressed to go, and bring your bike (or blades, or running shoes…) with you: we’ll commission participants during the 10:00 service, and after Eucharist at about 11:30 we’ll gather in the Courtyard to bless the bikes and send you on your way! Join with Trinity’s newest ministry, Eco Pals, as we get to know our neighbors and see our neighborhood in a new way. Click here for additional information.

Julian of Norwich (1342-1416) wrote Revelations (Showings) of Divine Love at about the same time as The Cloud of Unknowing was written. Menigner’s book on Julian will be published later this summer.
