I was Methodist raised, Catholic educated, spiritual crisis UU attender who then realized she loved Jesus and slid over to UCC and landed in an Episcopal church when Darrell and I decided to find a spiritual home together. Church has always been my community from my childhood onward. Sometimes that has been a rocky concept, it gets prickly, feelings get hurt. Other times it is the rock that gets you through the hard things, love abounding. A lot like family. Trinity since our arrival 7.5 years ago has been all these things. It hasn’t been perfect but it has definitely been home.
Home cooked meals dropped for bleary eyed new mom
Next to New Queen Bee
dining room hard conversations
Love out loud, and remembering foundations
sacred holy space, breath and depth
small group intentions
breakfast with family, ever growing
downtown rooted into new city spaces
music drifting, driving, thriving
Family of choice, a lifeline
I run by(literally) smiling
harmonies melting through rows of chairs
youth making inroads to our hearts
Signs that remind you why, and maybe make you proud
the pulse of a building beginning revival
3, 4 & 5 year olds dancing, rolling, and laughing
bread of life, broken, made new
all of this, together
stretched wide enough for you to step into
Welcome.
This has been Trinity for me. Community, home. I invite all to join me here.
