Worship & Congregation

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.
