This beautiful new stained glass window has been installed in the Cloister in memory of Donald H. Sitz (1924-2005).

Welcome back to our Journey to Adulthood youth who have been on pilgrimage in Scotland for the past two weeks! We are looking forward to hearing their stories and reflections about their trip. Thank you to our J2A mentors, parents and everyone in the congregation who have supported these teen-agers in making this pilgrimage possible.

All this week, the Great Hall at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral was alive with the joyful, faithful sounds of children exploring "Paul and the Underground Church" during Vacation Bible School. Children in 5th grade and younger enjoyed crafts, games, music and more under the faithful leadership of Ashley Ford, Dora Gullickson and Krista Mays, Director of Music Ministries and with the help of volunteers. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this year's VBS a great success!

I was introduced to story listening in 1953 while serving as a chaplain intern at Bellevue Hospital, in New York City. I have been a student of this way of listening ever since. For 25 years I trained lay people (Befrienders) to be story listeners in the hospital setting. Later, others served in a grief recovery group and a hospice program.
