Today, the Episcopal church commemorates the life and witness of Fr. Hiram Hisanori Kano. Fr. Kano, known as the Saint of Nebraska, served as a missionary among Japanese Americans in Nebraska and to American soldiers imprisoned for being AWOL during World War II while he himself was imprisoned, along with a great deal more service and ministry in the state and world.
Almighty God, who has reconciled the world to yourself through Christ: Entrust to your Church the ministry of reconciliation, as you did to your servant Hiram Hisanori Kano, and raise up ambassadors for Christ to proclaim your love and peace wherever conflict and hatred divide; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Compline – night prayer – is the final worship of the day in the monastic system of canonical hours. Dating from the fourth century, this contemplative office focuses on spiritual peace.
During the 35 minutes of sung Compline, no words are spoken; worshipers bathe in beautiful, timeless music, sung by Trinity’s Schola Cantorum. With lights dimmed and candles flickering, the calming ancient chants offer time and space for personal meditation and reflection. You will be invited to light a candle, offer prayers, and be still in God’s presence.
The liturgy is designed to bring a sense of deep inner peace as we begin a new week. Our Trinity Cathedral Schola Cantorum chants the Compline liturgy, and they also offer several unaccompanied anthems appropriate for nightfall and each liturgical season.
Enter the darkened cathedral, light a candle, and experience transcendence. Compline is offered once a month at 7:00 p.m. Contact our Canon Precentor, Marty Wheeler Burnett, or Brother James Dowd for more information.

Feast celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year. It celebrates Christ's messianic kingship and sovereign rule over all creation.
Marion Hatchett notes that the Prayer Book collect for Proper 29, the last Sunday of the church year, is a "somewhat free" translation of the collect of the Feast of Christ the King in the Roman Missal. This collect prays that God, "whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords," will "Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule" (BCP, p. 236).
The first season of the church year, beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continuing through the day before Christmas. The name is derived from a Latin word for "coming." The season is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming celebration of our Lord's nativity, and for the final coming of Christ "in power and glory."
