Trinity Food Ministry has been granted $11,300 by United Thank Offering to sustain its ministry of feeding the hungry in our community. The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri is pleased to announce the formation of a new ministry focused on the care of God’s creation. A jury convicted Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on all charges in the death of George Floyd. Bishop Deon Johnson issued this statement after the verdict was read. Bishop Deon Johnson issues a pastoral letter to the people of the diocese, in anticipation of a verdict in the Derek Chauven trial. The nave of Trinity Episcopal Church in St. Louis' Central West End was transformed into a community clinic on Sunday, April 11, to provide the Johnson & Johnson vaccination to anyone who came through their red doors – no appointment necessary. Why are so many Easter songs written with minor keys? Choirmaster David Sinden from St. Peter's in Ladue offers an explanation with this week's hymn: The Lamb's high banquet called to share. St. Paul's in Sikeston shares its investment returns with organizations doing good work in their community. This week’s hymn is a story-song, specifically a late Medieval narrative carol. It tells the story of the Apostle Thomas, who initially doubts his fellow disciples’ story of Jesus’ resurrection. Watch all the 2021 Holy Week and Easter services hosted by Bishop Deon Johnson and Dean Kathie Adams-Shepherd from Christ Church Cathedral. The text of this Easter hymn comes from John 14:19 – “In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.” Robert Lehman from the Church of St. Michael & St. George gives us the history of "Jesus lives!"
