Food and Faith: a Lenten Small Group
Hybrid: in-person in the sanctuary or on Zoom
Across cultures and religious traditions, humans have long recognized the powerful intersection of food, community, and spirituality. This small group will explore the place of food in scripture and the ministry of Jesus; the ways food builds community and erases divisions; and how food can be justly and equitably produced and distributed.
Led by Pastor Will Kroeze and Vicar Nick Paulson-Moe, with special guests. Followed by Evening Prayer at 8:00pm.
Join La Cocina de Loisaida for a special cooking class just for Trinity!
La Cocina de Loisaida, a partnership between the Loisaida Center and local chef Maria Bido offering cooking classes featuring traditional Puerto Rican foods, has made Trinity its home over the past year, bringing people from all over NYC to our kitchen to learn the dishes passed down by Maria's abeula, now presented to a new generation exploring their roots and traditions.
In gratitude for us offering space for these classes, Chef Maria Bido is pleased to offer a special class just for members of Trinity on Saturday, March 7 at 2:30pm. We'll learn how to make a Cena Puertorriqueña, a traditional Puerto Rican Dinner with a phenomenal combination of traditional Caribbean flavors: Carne Mechada (Puerto Rican pot roast), Mofongo (smashed green plantains with garlic sauce) and Dulce Lechosa (candied papaya).
The class is limited to the first 12 people to RSVP to office@trinitylowereastside.com

by Josh Brennan

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!

Introducing Village Campus Ministry
Trinity has long supported Lutheran Ministries in Higher Education (LMHE) and its downtown branch serving NYU, Cooper Union and New School Students: PRiSM. As LMHE has become more intentionally ecumenical and inclusive in its governance and ministry, it is proud to unveil its new identity as students return to campus: Village Campus Ministry!
Its ministry branches are now known as Village Uptown (primarily serving Columbia students) and Village Downtown, and Village continues to collaborate with SAFH to offer its innovative and in-demand College Student Pantry right here at Trinity. learn more at www.villagecampusministry.org.
