Trinity United Methodist Church Worship

Who’s invited to God’s table? As disciples of Jesus Christ we believe every person alive is welcome at God’s table. No matter what they do, where they’ve been, what they are called, all people are eternally valuable to God’s heart and invited to the table with open arms. But, do we Christians live as if that were true? This season at Trinity Church we are revisiting our Core Values, one by on...

The celebration of All Saints' Sunday is a special day where we'll remember and celebrate the lives of those whom we love and have entered into eternity. This Sunday ,  we celebrated the hope we have in Jesus while offering comfort and care to those whose loved ones have died in the past year. 

Have you ever seen the commercial where the person holds up a mask in front of their face to hide their true feelings from everyone around them? We can often live our lives like this - feeling like if people truly saw us as we are, they wouldn't love or accept us. We can also go through times when we feel like we aren't really seen or valued.  But there is good news and it can be fo...

Have you ever imagined what your last words on this earth might be? We have all heard the phrase “Famous Last Words.” This Sunday we explore the Apostle Paul’s last words and glean from them inspiration for our own journey of faith.

Jesus reminded his followers of the powerful reality that there is the expectation that his followers continue to make an impact in the world. He reminded them/us that when we serve others in Jesus’ name, we are serving him. This week we explore another of Trinity’s Core Values: Making an Impact.

Did you know that studies have shown that feeling thankful can improve sleep, mood, and immunity? Gratitude can also decrease depression, anxiety, difficulties with chronic pain and risk of disease. Practicing gratitude can change our outlook on life, lift our spirits, and affect our physical well-being. It is also an important part of our faith. This Sunday Pastor Kim looks at...

Jesus reminds us that he is the Bread of Life that whoever comes to him will never go hungry and never be thirsty. This Sunday was World Communion Sunday where Christians around the world all come to the communion table.  Listen along as we explore Jesus as the Bread of Life that never perishes but endures to eternity and receive communion as a taste of that promise.

This week we will focus on another Trinity Core Value – “We Believe in Growing.”  What does it mean to be a part of a community of faith that values being intentional in growing as a follower of Jesus?  

Have you ever walked by something countless times and never noticed it? Then, after becoming aware of it, you wonder how did I miss it all this time?  We can often walk through life without recognizing what is right in front of us, and in this Sunday's Scripture Jesus invites us all to expand our vision.  Pastor Kim shares the story of the Invisible Man.

What’s the last thing you lost and desperately tore through your house to find? When it was found, do you remember the relief and joy? God is a relentless seeker who rejoices when the lost is found. This week we'll explore the good news of this relentlessly seeking God.

This week we bring our summer series where we have been walking through the book of Hebrews to a close. This final chapter gives us a glimpse of the author's vision for the privilege of life in the Christian community with an emphasis of what we "get" to do, rather than what we "have" to do.  

As we near the finish line on our Summer journey through the book of Hebrews, the author makes a striking comparison of two mountains: Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion. One representing the Law and one the Grace offered in Jesus. This Sunday we explore the invitation scripture offers from the mountain whose summit is impossible to the mountaintop to which Jesus invites all.

This week we took a week out of our summer Hebrews series to take a deep dive into another of our Trinity Core Values: "We Believe in Faithfulness." This is a second in a series of six Sundays over six months to explore what we value as a congregation. This week we explore what it means to say that we value "Faithfulness."

Have you ever watched a marathon? Many of the runners start off strong, but midway through they hit what is called the wall. Their bodies can't keep up the pace and sometimes they find themselves wanting to give up. We can go through life like this too. Things may seem good for a while, but then we run into challenges. In those moments, we can find ourselves discouraged an...

Throughout the summer we have been taking a closer look at the book of Hebrews. This week, we turn our attention to chapter 11. In this chapter, the word "faith" appears more than 25 times in just 40 verses, but what does it mean to have faith? Does it mean that we can never have questions or doubts? Likewise, what does it mean to live a life of faith? This week Pastor Kim explores...

You know that awesome feeling when you have confidence in something? This week's installment in our Summer Hebrews journey, we are reminded of the confidence we have in Jesus with some practical encouragement about how to live in this confidence. Let's explore Confidence in Christ.

One image for Jesus that we have seen the author of Hebrews emphasize over and over is Jesus as our High Priest. He stands in that place between our broken and fallen humanity and God. This week, that image comes again with a new wrinkle: redemption and our response. This week we explore this additional dimension of Jesus and how we are called to respond.

We're taking a deep dive into one of our Trinity Core Values: "We Believe in Belonging."  Join us this week as we explore what it means to say that we value "Belonging."  

This Sunday we continue our exploration of the Book of Hebrews. Pastor Kim talks to us about "What's on the Menu?" and how it relates to our faith. 

"I've got some Good News and some Bad News. Which do you want first?"  How many times have we heard that asked? That's kind of what this week's scripture text does in this Sunday's installment in our Hebrews journey for the Summer.  Spoiler Alert: The Good News of Jesus outweighs bad news!

As we continue our journey through the book of Hebrews for the Summer, this week the writer encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus as we are built into what is described as Jesus' house. We can live in a dwelling or dwell in the living - the living household of God through Jesus.  This week  we explore allowing Jesus to build us into his house.

Pastor Katy's last Sunday as one of our pastors, and after 10 years, she had lots of thoughts and a hope-filled message about Jesus to share with us. 

This Sunday began an exciting Summer adventure at Trinity. We began a summer-long look at the book of Hebrews, a New Testament Epistle (letter) to early Christians. During our summer journey, you might find it helpful to bring along your Bible each week so the text we are exploring is in front of you. I am looking forward to a Summer of worship that will be a combination of Bible Study and Se...

Everything about Pentecost was a miracle. The wind, the fire, the words. Perhaps most miraculous was that folks heard the good news about Jesus’ resurrection, not in a game of translated telephone, but directly from the source, in their own language. What’s more, they listened to and understood the good news. How often do we hear but not listen? How often are we heard, but not listened to? How mig...

Ascension Sunday is the day, 40(ish) days after the Resurrection when Jesus is taken up by God into heaven. The disciples, in their wonder, stand with their faces upward, watching Jesus go ... and then they keep looking up. Then two angels ask ... "Why do you stand looking up toward heaven?" An appropriate question, then. An appropriate question, now. There are times to look up toward heaven, and...
