Please join us for worship On Sunday, June 21, as we observe the Fourth Sunday After Pentecost. We will have one service of Holy Communion at 9am. Pam Kalapay will be on hand with her guitar and whistles, and it promises to be a lovely service!
God does not promise that the path of the disciple will be easy. In Sunday’s lections, Jeremiah feels the pain of rejection from those who do not want to hear what he has to say. Jesus declares that his words may bring stark division. Even so, we need not be afraid for God accounts for each hair on our heads. Though we may experience rejection, frustration, division, and death, God’s grace and love make us a new creation each day. Marked with the cross and filled with holy food, we are sent from worship to witness to Christ in the world.
Follow this link to the online bulletin if you’re joining us for the 9am Livestream.
Thank you: A huge thank you to everyone who helped celebrate my 25th anniversary here at Trinity. My heart is filled with love and gratitude. Thank you so much for the beautiful gift and for making the day so special and unforgettable. I love you all!
-Kathy Sigley
I would also like to thank everyone involved for the wonderful 25th Anniversary Celebration, with particular thanks to Pastor Spencer, Melissa Boandl, Jemmie Jones, Larry Golick, Lori Peck, and Todd and Linda Donnelly, for what was a lovely day I shall never forget. Many thanks to everyone who joined us at the reception and luncheon, and to everyone who contributed for the very generous gifts I received. As Pastor Spencer noted in his kind remarks, when you work for the church (as in all vocations), there are good days, hard days, and an occasional bad day, but I am so grateful to have spent so very many grace-filled and life-giving days in my roles here at Trinity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, filled with love and gratitude, and may God bless you!
