1 The Voice of Holy Trinity June Since the kingdom of God is not just words, it is power. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:20 HOLY TRINITY GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL 3131 NE Glisan St., Portland, Oregon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Parishioners and Friends, Please be sure to join us Sunday, June 4 th for (8:45 a.m) and (10:00 a.m.) and later at 5:00 p.m. for the Kneeling as we celebrate Pentecost. His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos will be joining us for and for ((9:00 a.m.) and (10:00 a.m.) for Monday of the Holy Spirit. As the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity these services comprise our parish Feastday celebration! We also have the Saturday of the Souls the day prior on June 3 rd. will be at 8:30 a.m. and at 9:30 a.m. Be sure to give us the names of your departed loved ones and you may also bring koliva for the service. We will be joined at the Kneeling by parishioners and clergy from other local Orthodox parishes. Fr. Tom Paris will also be with us for all the services mentioned above. I highlight these worship services because I want us to celebrate our Feastday with much fervor and because worship should always be the core of what we do. I also want to highlight two important youth ministries as we come into the Summer months. We have our Summer Camp which will take place at Camp Angelos from Sunday, July 9 th until Friday, July 14 th! Our theme this year is #blessed and as always it will be an exciting week of fun, Christian fellowship and spiritual growth for our children. Many life-long friendships and wonderful memories are made at summer camp and Camp Angelos is an ideal location for our kids to unplug and enjoy the beauty of nature. Please be sure to sign your kids up right away or encourage family members and friends with camp age children to do so. The ages are entering 3 rd grade through high school to participate. We also need counselors and anyone that is out of high school and can apply. Scholarships are available for Summer Camp so please contact me. To register for camp online go to and to sign up to be a counselor use this link, Finally, I want to highlight our Vacation Church School ministry which will take place later in the Summer this year from August 14 th through August 18 th. We have not finalized the details of the program, but it will be for children entering 1 st - 5 th Grades. They will meet each morning for a brief prayer time in church, fun learning activities, crafts, snacks, the opportunity to get to know each other and make new friends with kids from other Orthodox Churches as well! This year, because of the timing, we will be focusing on the Virgin Mary, Theotokos and we will participate in the liturgy for the Falling Asleep of the Virgin Mary. More details about VCS will be forthcoming, but please mark your calendars. Teens and young adults are needed and welcome to be assistants and parents are welcome to and needed to help as well! We are looking forward to a wonderful Summer and we hope that you will be participating with us in worship and the various activities that continue at the Cathedral that continue during this beautiful season!
