He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
Today is the joyful day of our salvation; the day when we proclaim, in the words of the old hymn, "where, O death, is now thy sting?" Wherever you are today, I sincerely hope you will spend some of your Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ with your Trinity family, either in-person or via our livestream service.
Worship for April 2, 2023 - Palm / Passion Sunday
We enter worship today proclaiming "Hosanna!" while the celebratory palm branches wave, yet we know so well the journey this week will take us to places we would rather not go.
This year I encourage, even challenge, you to allow yourself to take the full journey of Holy Week. Allow yourself to feel to joyful entry into Jerusalem, for joy is right. Allow yourself to feel the pain and betrayal of the arrest and trial, for pain is also right. Allow yourself to mourn on Good Friday, for mourning is also right. Allow yourself to feel the resurrection hope, for hope is also right.

Worship for March 19, 2023 - Making Room at the Table
When was the last time you were invited to a banquet? Maybe a wedding or an important business event? Did you get to choose your table, or did you get seated? How, and where, people are seated at a banquet says a lot about the event and who is welcome and wanted. In today's scripture, Jesus challenges us to look again at who we have room for at the table.

This morning in worship we will be reflecting on how often God surprises us, even interrupts us, with grace.
