Three of the music ensembles at Trinity Church Wall Street are open for summer auditions.

Trinity Church Wall Street is thrilled to announce the inaugural cohort of the newly launched Trinity Leadership Fellows program. These 28 professional and faith leaders were selected from over 270 applicants, spanning various faith traditions and vocations.

Trinity Church Wall Street, in its latest set of grants, has awarded $23.4 million to organizations in New York City, the U.S., and internationally. Most of the grants, which average more than $200,000, are going to organizations in New York City that are focused on affordable housing, homelessness, racial justice, and criminal justice reform.

Each of us also has our own unique cycles and patterns, but none of us stays the same forever. We have patterns and cycles in our habits, and in our feelings, and in our reactions to things that happen. Sometimes we can control these, but no matter what, they will go through changes. And, no matter what, God is with us always.

We lament hard when faced with adversity. We often look to blame at first, or worse, exact revenge. Relief more than gratitude often accompanies us when we arrive at the other shore. But our Psalms remind us that God’s gift of love and peace is always available — and it remains the way to freedom.

Some people try to hold on to power by force. This is the opposite of God’s heaven on earth. But Jesus paid attention to people who were pushed down or out and showed everyone that all people deserve healing, wholeness, and freedom.

Juneteenth is a time to celebrate what has been done to make our world better for all and reminds us to recommit ourselves to the healing work we need to do before we can all truly be free. It also reminds us to attend to the systemic forces that prevent change, keep oppression in place, and distract us with the falsehood that one person’s freedom must be another person’s loss.

Our church shares the name of this Sunday: Trinity. The Trinity has three names.

Trinity Church Wall Street has launched the Compassion Meals program to deal with food insecurity in Trinity's neighborhood.

Many of us, in these times of change, are facing crossroads — trying to make hard decisions about our jobs, our relationships, and even our faith. How can we know which way to turn — which road is the right one?
