Come and Grow is part of the character of Trinity Columbus' website.  Even their background color reminds us what Jesus said we can do with faith the size of a mustard seed � plant a vision of the Kingdom of Heaven � a tree grown out of the smallest seed, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade (Mark 4:30).

This sacred space on Capital Hill provides Open Shelter Inc. to homeless people � providing food, clothing, housing assistance, and financial management services.  Trinity�s website highlights the church�s full wheelchair accessibility, outreach ministry to the deaf, and smiling clergy and staff (except for the Carilloneur� hmm).

This summer, Trinity is opening its doors wide open to General Convention, where the House of Bishops will meet to elect the next Presiding Bishop; children will participate in a Narnia program; the National Altar Guild, Episcopal Women's Caucus, and Integrity will host events; and young adults will celebrate Compline each night at 10pm.

Whether you are interested in becoming a "lay weeder," helping to tend the Cathedral's gardens, or looking for a  well-weeded website which follows a cardinal web-writing rule � omit needless words � it is clear that Trinity is intent on doing the work needed to truly grow and become a house of prayer for all peoples.
