Trinity Stories

Beloved Friends,

Happy almost New Year’s Eve. Wow. How can it be the end of another year? We have had a glorious few months leading us to the end of this year, largely in part due to the gift of proximity. This has been the first year, in what feels like a lifetime (rather than just two), that we were able to gather in person each week for all of Advent and Christmas Eve in addition to still offering Trinity@Home.

We will even hear these words from the gospel according to Matthew: Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way…and in seven short verses hear this important “birth story.” This telling of that story lifts up the very special and often overlooked role of Joseph.

Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father, …

Beloved Friends,

We are now moving into the third week of this short and rich season of Advent. We continue to gather and wait together- remembering that waiting with others is almost always more meaningful than waiting alone. We continue to travel this road noticing the landscape both inside our hearts as well as what we notice in the world around us.
Last week we were invited into a time of noticing the smallest of things in hopes of discovering a new way home. Home to the place inside that is waiting to be made ready to welcome the Christ child.

This year we are exploring …
