Trinity Lutheran Church; Arendtsville, PA

Trinity wrestles with a tough text of division, ultimately hearing Christ calling us to trust the way that our baptism calls us to.

Trinity is joined by Ashlin Marchese, who speaks and sings the gospel into our hearts. In this proclamation, Jesus walks through our stuff, calling us out of possession and into stewardship.

This Sunday, Trinity's life is demanded of them.

Trinity listens as Jesus teaches us to pray. As we pray, we discover how this prayer is uncovering what we yearn for the most.

Trinity sits at the feet of Jesus, listening to the call to place a high importance on listening to the Word.

Trinity encounters a very familiar Good Samaritan text, and hears Jesus calling us to lifelong service to our neighbors of every culture, race, religion, ethnicity, and kind.

As Trinity hears a text of the phenomenal things the disciples were able to do through the Spirit, we like they become reoriented by Jesus words of love and grace and the gentle command to share these powers.

Guest Preacher Sister Marianne Brock leads us this week as we listen and struggle to recognize the sound of Jesus' voice.

On the Third Sunday of Easter, Trinity reflects on Jesus' appearance in the simplest of places, looking for Christ in the simple places of today as well.

On this second Sunday of Easter, Trinity hears the blessing of Jesus in a text so often dominated by the worry of doubt.

Happy Easter! On this Resurrection Sunday, Trinity dwells in the complexity of emotions that accompany God's life-giving love and work.

On this Good Friday, Trinity dwells in the crucifixion of Jesus. In a story that is often heavily layered in theological expectation, we listen for the ways that this story is common and often repeated, finding God drawing near to all people.

As Trinity celebrates Palm Sunday, Trinity reflects on the powerful example of God's love seen in this text and the story of Jesus' passion. In both, we come to realize the consistent, loving presence of God for God's people, no matter what happens.

On this fifth Sunday of Lent, Trinity hears a story of Jesus having his feet anointed by Mary. In reflecting on this story, and on the quickly following story of Jesus washing his disciples' feet, we come to realize the selfless nature of God sharing the best God has with God's people.

On the fourth Sunday in Lent, Trinity hears a familiar parable of Jesus often called the parable of "The Prodigal Son." On this Sunday, however, we focus on the love of the father in the story towards both sons, recognizing the limitless nature of this love is what is at the heart of Jesus actions in this story and toward us all.

On this third Sunday of Lent, Trinity struggles with a text that at first glance seems like it condemns us when - inevitably - we are trapped in our sin. When we listen to Jesus, though, we come to hear an overwhelming amount of grace and love for us and for all people.

On the second Sunday of Lent, Trinity reflects on the needless death we see in our world, and how the church is called to join Christ in self-sacrificial lifestyle that, with the help of God, can change the world.

Trinity begins the first Sunday of Lent with a text describing Jesus' temptation in the desert. Through Jesus' own trials, we discover who to turn to in the midst of our own: the Word.

On this Transfiguration of Our Lord Sunday, Trinity reflects on the pattern of our lives, a pendulum swinging between the presence of God in Sunday worship and the holy work of God in our daily lives. As these moments inform one another, we become a little more aware of God's presence in each season of life.
