Our own East Village Cookbook, created in 2024 by Pastor Will, Chef Will Horowitz and friends, and designed by East Village design firm Champions Design as a fundraiser for our feeding ministries, was featured in an excellent article by Regina Schrambling in New York Magazine on March 17. Since the article was published, interest in the cookbook has truly taken off, with around 500 copies ordered online within 24 hours. As of this writing, we are completely sold out of books until more arrive from the printer!

The timing of the article and subsequent growth in sales was excellent: just weeks before, we had finally sold enough copies to pay for the printing and production expenses, which means that now all copies sold will result in a profit for the cookbook, 100% of which will be used to fund much-needed renovations to our kitchen, which has faithfully and tireless worked beyond its limits to feed our community and support Trinity's ministries. Now, with over $110,000 in books sold resulting in around $50,000 profit, we can provide much-needed support to the infrastructure that makes so much of our ministry possible.

We are truly grateful for the work done by Pastor Will, Chef Will Horowitz, and all who contributed to the cookbook's success, and look forward to dreaming about what our small-but-mighty church kitchen can accomplish with new equipment and improved layout!

Join us as we head to Broadway, to see the premier of Beaches, A New Musical on Broadway, featuring our very own Paul Staroba as the Music Director. We will be going Friday April 17th. Tickets are $69. The show is at the Majestic Theatre on 44th Street and 8th Avenue. We have 12 seats reserved! Email Gillian (office@trinitylowereastside.org) if you'd like us to save you a seat.

About the show: Beaches, A New Musical, based on the best-selling novel that became the blockbuster film, brings to the stage one of the most iconic friendships in popular culture. This sweeping, emotional, and joy-filled new musical follows the vivacious Cee Cee and elegant Bertie, who meet as children and become fast friends. From pen-pals to roommates to romantic rivals, Cee Cee and Bertie’s oil-and-water friendship perseveres over the course of 30 years through even the most tragic trials. With a touching vulnerability, Beaches exemplifies the triumph of the human spirit and the bonds of friendship.

Throughout the season of Lent, parishioner Josh Brennan will be creating liturgical illustrations for each week's bulletin, with his interpretations of the meaning of each day's scriptural images. We're grateful for Josh offering his creativity in this way, and hope that these images will be meaningful for you in your Lenten journey!
