Community First, Music Second
Beloved Friends,
I am delighted to share that from Friday June 23 through Friday July 15, I am turning this blog spot over to our Director of Music and the Arts, Chelsie Cree to share a little bit about the growing “soundtrack” and music ministry at Trinity.

Please welcome our much beloved Chelsie Cree…
Fatherhood
Beloved Friends,
While there is absolutely nothing “religious” about this Sunday’s celebration of Father’s Day, there is, I would suggest, something holy and sacred. Not unlike the celebration of Mother’s Day, both became observances in the early part of the 20th century as ways to underscore and celebrate the important role parents play in the raising of children. The specific origins of Father’s Day can be traced back to the YMCA in Spokane Washington in 1910. Sonora Smart Dodd initiated what is now a long-standing tradition as a way to her honor her father who was a single parent raising six children. Read more…
Love is Love
Beloved Friends,
This Sunday we celebrate “Trinity Sunday.” It is observed every year on the Sunday after Pentecost. It’s not a celebration of a special event, like most of the other holy hoopla days in the church calendar. You won’t find the word “Trinity” mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Instead, Trinity Sunday is when we commemorate (or sometimes collectively scratch our heads about) a church doctrine or teaching that was hammered out by church leaders over hundreds of years.
Birthing a Movement
Beloved Friends, This Sunday we will gather again- both for Trinity@Home and Trinity@316, for a fabulous Feast Day in the life of the church called “Pentecost.” One of the most ancient feasts of the Church, Pentecost is often referred to as the “birth”-day of the...
Up, Up and Away….

What We Need is Here
Beloved Friends- What a glorious week it has been. But before I say anymore, take a moment and soak in these words by poet and environmental activist Wendell Berry: Geese appear high over us, pass, and the sky closes. Abandon, as in love or sleep,Holds them to their...
Mothering Love
Beloved friends, From a very early age Taylor knew there was something different about our family, and it never seemed to bother her. About this time of year from 1st grade on, she would come home telling a version of the same story- over the years becoming more and...
Resurrection Madness
Beloved Friends, We are in the heart of the season of Eastertide- the 50 days between Easter and Pentecost. It is the season following the resurrection and prior to the ascension when we are reminded of the mystery of welcoming the risen Christ- the new and not...
