"The Gospel of Resistance and Resilience"
Advent Lutheran Church is hosting a worship gathering called The Gospel of Resistance and Resilience. The Gospel of Resistance and Resilience takes place monthly. Advent describes this gathering as "a musically-driven, reflective, love-rooted, community-building, questioning, Gospel-centered gathering." You can find more info at adventnyc.org/thegatheringnyc.
Soil and Sabbath - and Other Small Groups
This fall we are again joining up with other Lutheran congregations in Manhattan for a series of small groups, offering you a chance to build community with other Lutherans while exploring faith with a variety of topics. Vicar Nick will be leading a group called Soil and Sabbath:
This small group will ask questions together about how we live in relationship to soil and how we live in relationship to Sabbath, the ancient once-a-week communal spiritual practice of intentional rest, delight, and wonder. Those questions will lead to more questions about racial capitalism, the accelerating pace of modern life, ecological justice, disability justice, and how we interact with each of those things.
Ultimately, we’ll ask what practices and ways of life can nurture vitality and justice in the church and world. The goal of this small group is to create our own personal soil-and-Sabbath practices for ourselves, and to find out together what happens to and in us as we give our attention to soil and Sabbath. This is an asynchronous small group, and everything will be communicated through WhatsApp.

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.
