Slowed Down but Not Stopped

With little warning, the opportunity came to move into Episcopal space for the first time in 25 years or more. We are now at Trinity Cathedral in downtown San Jose. Pulling out all the stops and God with us, we are moved! There is a lot of work ahead to organize the new space in the lower basement level of the church building underneath the parish hall. I am calling it the garden level!

The Lord does know what we need before we know how to ask and here is another example of that truth. I had no idea that the events that happened at Grace Baptist Church before Thanksgiving 2020 would result in closing down the student residence due to serious safety concerns.

A few months before that incident, I was approached by a vestry member and the priest in charge at Trinity to consider writing a grant to renovate more of the downstairs space for student occupancy. The grant was written, approved by the Canterbury Board of Directors, the Vestry of Trinity Cathedral and our Bishop and sent to the National Church long before we knew that this would be a primary residence instead of another annex. We await the results of whether or not we will be funded.
