EMPOWER HOUR ON FIRST & THIRD SUNDAYS

(JULY 5 & 19)

During the first & third Sundays of every month, all are invited to gather in the sanctuary for Empower Hour, a gathering for the spiritual practice of activism! This will be the first of a series of Empower Hour gatherings for Vicar Nick’s internship project.


Together, we’ll ground ourselves in a Christian spirituality of liberation; connect with each other over our shared desire to be part of creating justice in our communities; learn from each other about particular international, nationwide and local issues and about the practices of activism and community organizing; find ways to take action that fit for each of us given our unique schedules/lifestyles; get connected with local justice-oriented organizations; and give ourselves accountability in community for working toward justice with this designated time and space.


If you’re looking to practice your spirituality in community care on any level, Empower Hour is for you!

JOINING SOLIDARITY FAST WITH

THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF NEW YORK

Trinity is joining our ecumenical partners at St. Mark’s Church-in-the-Bowery and the Episcopal Diocese of New York in a solidarity fast alongside hunger strikers detained at Delaney Hall and their families. Specifically, the diocese is inviting folks to donate the amount you would spend on food in one day to the families of those who are detained.


Donations will go to family members whose lives have been devastated by having a loved one (sometimes a breadwinner) detained. The families have asked for support for groceries, rent, and other basic needs.

Listen to Pastor Will on WNYC

East Village Cookbook Featured in New York Magazine and Sales Take Off

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!
