Trinity at Gay Pride Sat., July 28 — Help Needed!

So many LGBT women and men have been so hurt and often traumatized by their churches of origin, they have not heard the Gospel that God loves everyone and accepts you as you are!  Episcopal Churches in Northern Nevada — Trinity, St. Paul’s, St. Catherine’s, St. Patrick’s (N. Tahoe), and Coventry Cross (Minden) — are joining to create a welcoming presence at this year’s Gay Pride celebration in Wingfield Park on Saturday, July 28.

We need your help to share Trinity’s message of welcome to our LGBT neighbors.  If you would be willing to help out for only an hour or two Saturday, July 28, please sign up in the back of the Church after services.  Indicate whether you are available morning or afternoon, and then check off what you’d be willing to do:

• Set up (7:30–8:30 AM);
• Join the parade at 10:00 AM;
• Staff the Booth during the day for an hour or two, or;
• Take down the booth at the end of the day (4:00–5:00 PM).

The Rev. Canon Mikayla Dunfee —

It is with great joy and enthusiasm the Vestry decided unanimously to extend a call to have an additional priest on staff to meet our ministries’ expanding needs!  She will be a 2/3 time priest here at the Cathedral, and 1/3 time with Camp Galilee as Chaplain and Program Director.  Here at Trinity, she will serve as Canon for Education with shared responsibilities with our clergy staff and a focus on the 9:00 AM Service along with our youth and children ministries.  She most recently served as Curate on the Cheyenne River Episcopal Mission serving ten congregations.

Michael Lynch —

Michael Lynch assumed the duties of Trinity Cathedral’s Music Director on June 1.  Michael is no stranger to us, having served previously as our Assistant Director of Music.  We’re thrilled to have him back!  Michael has accompanied and directed sundry choirs, including a position in Maryland in which he was co-director of two children’s choirs, a young adult choir, an adult choir and bell choir as well as a concert series. Most recently, Michael was the Music Director at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Minden.
