Diaper Drive for HappyBottoms: January
Not having a clean diaper can really stink
Diapers are not covered by government safety net programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and WIC.
1 in 2 families in KC can’t afford diapers
Families with young children experiencing diaper need report missing an average of 5.1 workdays per month because they did not have the required number of diapers for their child to attend daycare.
Bring diapers to the barrel in the cross hall or to the basket in the Tower or purchase diapers through HappyBottoms (use group name: Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral).
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Luncheon Fundraiser and Evensong Service: Saturday, January 18
The Diocese of West Missouri invites you to a luncheon fundraiser and Evensong Service in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. January 18 at the Cathedral. The luncheon and fundraiser, which will support The Reverend Canon Edward L. Warner Chapter for the Union of Black Episcopalians of West Missouri, will begin at 11 a.m. in Founders’ Hall.

National Day of Racial Healing: Tuesday, January 21
The Cathedral Nave will be open for prayer from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Prayer guides are available here so you can pray from anywhere.
The National Day of Racial Healing is observed each year following the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Holiday to allow us all to further draw upon the life lessons of the venerable civil rights leader.
Why do we want to observe the National Day of Racial Healing?
- Restores individuals and communities to wholeness.
- Facilitates trust & bridges divides.
- Repairs the damage caused by racism.
- Builds authentic relationships.
Racial healing is at the heart of racial equity — the people work that leads to community, organizational and systems transformation.
