OUTREACH & ADVOCACY

The Linden Exchange

It is with great sadness we announce the closing of The Linden Exchange, founded in 1958 and lovingly provided by generations of volunteers from Trinity Church with abundant assistance from many others. As “The Linden” closes out its remaining inventory (available by appointment on Thursdays and Fridays until July 17th – please call), we thank Midge Tuxill, Sue Sabin, Bunny Bell, Beth Henderson, and the complete host of volunteers past and present, for their service.

Our Pandemic Outreach…

Includes on-going support of direct service, contributions of cash and requested supplies to:
BluePrint Geneva
Center of Concern
Catholic Charities
Family Promise
Community Lunch

Advocacy for The People’s Peaceful Protest

Child of Trinity, Adam Fryer, has been instrumental in organizing and leading the Black Lives Matter protest movement toward governmental and police reform here in Geneva. While not everyone that is part of Trinity Place will agree with every element of these resolutions, we invite everyone to carefully read the BLM Geneva agenda for policing reform outlined in the following nine petitions. They are being proposed to City Council on July 1, 2020. If, after reading these resolutions, you wish to support the effort, there is a petition you can sign which is available on the BLMGeneva FaceBook page, as well as our FB page. Thank you.

 

Our Vision

Our vision…a Trinity Church known in the community as a welcoming home to everyone, responding effectively to the needs of our community, in collaboration with fellow Episcopalians and other faith communities

Our mission…to strive in our daily life and parish life to respect the dignity of every human being, and to treat each person entering our doors as if that person is Christ.

We are striving to be as open as the table Jesus hosted, in solidarity with the people of Geneva, and an accessible partner to others who share our sense of the gospel.

It also means we have opened ourselves to the future, and not only moved but adopted a new way of being church from the more traditional model. Join us at Trinity Place, 78 Castle Street in downtown Geneva, NY.

 Trinity Place, An Open Space for Growth, Wellness, Healing, & the Arts

“Open Space” means open and inclusive, welcoming the Geneva and FLX community to use our space, and to partner with us in building an inclusive community for spiritual inquiry and wellness. 

“Growth, Wellness, Healing, & the Arts” means we are pointed toward a particular dimension of life, specifically that which strengthens the relationship of body, mind, and spirit. 

Trinity is a Christian community of worship and spiritual practice welcoming all, and an Episcopal Church in particular. However, we welcome all spiritual traditions and those who have no particular spiritual background but are engaged in a mission consistent with ours. We are looking for partners in mission not members (although we love to welcome new members too).

Trinity’s historic building and our adaptive reuse plan has been named and embraced by The Landmark Society of Western New York. Among thousands of worthy historic sites and projects, Trinity’s was selected. Follow this link to read more: https://landmarksociety.org/2019-five-to-revive-announced/
