In order to make Fusion a success, there are lots of ways you can volunteer!
Are you a Child at Heart? Who did you look up to when you were a child? Do you like to see the innocent joy of a smiling child? Are you looking to make a big impact in a small and easy way? Volunteer with Fusion Kids! During Fusion Kids, children will learn of the love of God and others and they need adults to help be their examples!

In January, 2015, under the leadership of Rev. Dan Bonner from the Center for Urban Congregation Renewal, Trinity crafted its current vision statement: “Growing in love and service through relationships with God and community.” I have always been passionate about our vision statement because it reminds us that Christianity is more than a belief system; our faith is about how we live in relationship with God and with those around us.
With God’s earth, sunshine and rain, along with Trinity’s community garden volunteers: Mel Shoaf heads the garden and Janet, his wife, Julieann Davis (Master Gardener), Mark Longfellow (row 1 – onions), Pastor Tracey (row 2 – beets), Jeremy and Sparrow Grossman (row 3 – carrots), Amanda and Jim Atkins (row 6 - cabbage and kale), Kay Franscoviak (row 7 – beans), Morgan Tarlton (row 8 – peas, squash and peppers), Evan Neace (row 9 – cucumbers), and Ryan Wynkoop (row 10 –tomatoes). Row 4 – radishes and kohlrabi and row 5 – lettuce and swiss chard are trended and nurtured by all of the volunteers.
The garden is growing, green and producing vegetables. Feel free to ask the volunteers about their stories regarding the garden and growing relationships with each other and the community. In June and July, Trinity held the Garden and Grill Meals which volunteers helped set up, serve and cleanup along with providing salads, casseroles and desserts for friends, families, and community to partake. Everyone enjoyed the meals and activities provided while nurturing relationships. Please join us at the next meal, Tuesday, August 14th at 6:00pm. And feel free to pull a weed and pick a vegetable! —Gloria Thompson, Garden Volunteer Coordinator Julieann Davis is our newest community partner. In addition to acting as our master gardener, you will find Julieann and her cousin, Cori Sivils, baking and cooking in our kitchen throughout the week. Julieann and Cori live on the same street, and have always dreamt of having their own business. That dream became a reality when Longlois Artisans began making and selling craft items last year. This year, they have started creating vegan goods (no dairy and no meat or meat by-products) including Artisan cheeses, chips and hummus, and desserts. They also sell aprons, paintings, pet portraits and many craft items. Look for Longlois Artisans at the Moseys, Art in the Park, Lafayette Farmers Market, Fiddlers Gathering and more.
