When the Road Gets Rocky
Beloved Friends, Being a disciple, a follower of Christ is hard much of the time. This is simply the truth. And this Sunday, when we hear the gospel, we will be reminded of this truth. Our gospel text for Sunday comes from the 10th chapter of Matthew in which Jesus...

True Colors
In celebration of Pride Month, I have been listening to “True Colors,” by Cyndi Lauper. It has always been one of my favorite songs to cover, but has taken on a deeper and heavier meaning this year. “True Colors” was released on August 28, 1986. It quickly went to #1...

There is a lot going on right now …
My Friends, After last Sunday's sermon from Deacon Meribah, I’m sure the issue of gun violence awareness and prevention is in the forefront of our minds. I want to thank those who were able to attend Wednesday nights Zoom for the initial follow up from Sunday. And...
More Both/And Living
Beloved Friends- One of the new realities of ministry at Trinity since 2020 is that our sermons for the upcoming Sundays must be crafted and recorded earlier in the week. So as I sit down to write to you this week I do so after recording my sermon for this Sunday. It...

#wearorange
Orange has always been one of my favorite colors. I’ve always favored the energy it brings and it reminds me of the sweet first bite of a clementine. I’ll be wearing this beautiful color this weekend not just because of its vibrant message, but also because it is the...
Say Her Name
Beloved Friends, This coming Sunday we are going to do our best to live into our “both/and” identity lifting up a liturgical day we call Trinity Sunday while also engaging the difficult and important topic of Gun Violence Awareness. And while at first glance these may...

Happy Birthday Church
Beloved Friends-This Sunday we will gather both online for Trinity@Home and in pe-person for Trinity@316 to celebrate the Feast Day of Pentecost. One of the most ancient feasts of the Church, Pentecost is often referred to as the “birth”-day of the church. On this day...
Social media is not all bad. Promise.
Y’all, I love TikTok. If you haven’t downloaded it, and you are a music lover, you should. Some of you may bristle at even the mention of something like this, and I can’t blame you. We hear a lot about the negatives of social media. That it can be harmful, spread...

Music and Mother’s Day
This weekend is Mother’s Day, and one might ask what exactly I’m doing with/for my Mom this weekend. Maybe we’re preparing to get together on Sunday for a meal together. That there’s some sort of warm, heartfelt, hallmark movie kind of plan. Drenched in love, and...
