Trinity Stories
All Jesus did that day was tell stories—a long storytelling afternoon. His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world's first day.Matthew 13:34-35 – The Message

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...
With Love
Beloved friends, I have just returned home from our annual Diocesan Clergy Conference at Geneva-on-the-Lake. It is a time set aside each year for the clergy (bishops, priests and deacons) of the diocese to step away from our day-to-day activities and spend some time...
Mothering Love
Beloved friends, From a very early age she knew she was different, and it never seemed to bother her. About this time of year from 1st grade on, our daughter would come home telling a version of the same story- over the years becoming more and more eloquent and...
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...

Mother’s Day
Next week I’ll be back on my community engagement soap box, but this week I’d like to get vulnerable and share some memories. When I was about four or five, my family was living in Dayton Ohio, and during the fall my dad had a rare weekend off and we decided to go...

Always Learning
This past weekend, we wrapped up another wonderful season of Ukulele Choir. We are so thankful for the education leadership brought to us by Tish Westman, who took us under her wing to really learn more basics of truly playing the ukulele. There was note learning,...
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...
