“Hospitality: The generous and friendly treatment of visitors and guests; the activity of providing food, drinks, etc,. for people who are guests, visitors or strangers.” That’s the dictionary definition. Here at Trinity Center, we practice radical hospitality, which means loving and serving our neighbors — six days a week, 52 weeks a year. Hospitality is both our mission and our joy.

There is a crisis at the Mexican border. Immigrants are flowing in by the thousands. Who will care for them? Are they our neighbors? On one occasion Jesus told a scribe and others at the temple that the second greatest commandment is this, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Donald Haglund De Grasse passed away on Thursday, June 6, 2019, after a 10-month battle with inoperable brain cancer. His generous heart, sharp mind and silly sense of humor will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Former board president and board member of Trinity Center, Don was a loving presence in the Center with staff, volunteers and especially our neighbors.
