Trinity United Methodist Church Worship

This week we wrap up our "Build My Life" series with a very important day for us as the people called Trinity.  We have been exploring the importance of Core Values in our personal lives, the Values of the Kingdom of God and this week we explore the six Core Values of Trinity.

In our current conversation about Core Values called "Build My Life," what are the values of the Kingdom of God from which Jesus ministered? These are also values that inform our lives as his representatives in the world. This Sunday we explore the Values of the Kingdom.

The first week of our Build My Life sermon series focused on core values.

Pastor Wade spent this Sunday diving into where we are as a church. Our celebrations, our victories, and our growing edges. 

On the way to Emmaus, on the day of the Resurrection, two disciples meet a man who tells them God's story as they walk together. Turns out, that man is Jesus. This Sunday was Bible Sunday, when 130+ kids at Trinity received their Bible from our church family. Let's explore the story God is telling us, and how we are invited to be part of it.

All through the season of Lent we have been on a journey called "Cultivating and Letting Go" all leading up to the Good News of Easter. This Sunday for Easter worship we explore "Cultivating Something New."

Palm Sunday is almost here! We'll read the familiar story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, and explore what it means to let go of our expectations of God, which might allow us to see Good work in new ways. Plus, we're celebrating a return of a beloved Trinity tradition - handmade palm crosses.

Throughout the season of Lent and our approach to the Easter celebration, we are constantly reminded of the extravagance of God's love to us through Jesus.  What do we do with this extravagant love we have received?

Are you kind to yourself when you make a mistake or something comes out less than "perfect?"  Looking to the story of the Prodigal Son, join us this week as we explore Cultivating Self-Compassion and Letting Go of Perfectionism.

On the third Sunday of Lent, we'll work to let go of our reliance on easy answers, and work to cultivate being okay when there aren't answers to be found. Read Luke 13:1-9 for your preparation.

This week is the second Sunday in Lent and we're continuing our conversation about  CULTIVATING & LETTING GO . This Sunday, let's talk about what it means to "Eat the Frog.

We kickoff our Lenten series "Cultivating & Letting Go" talking about areas where we can both expand and let go.

Finding the holy in the everyday can be really tough. Our lives are ordinary and often messy and don't feel special. Thankfully, Jesus shows us the way. This Sunday in worship, we'll hear the Transfiguration story and explore how Jesus transfigures our highs and lows. 

Love your enemies. Turn the other cheek. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The reading from the Gospel of Luke this week includes these three and more. They are all tough teachings of Jesus and we often struggle to know how to live into them. We'll explore them this week.

On Easter we sing and praise God in celebration of Jesus' resurrection. But what do we say about the "Resurrection of the body" as the Christian family has recited for ages as a part of the Apostle's creed? This Sunday we explore "The Question of Resurrection."

Quite often, we feel inadequate to answer the call of God whether it be something small or a really big ask. We even have difficulty in hearing God's call and knowing how to answer that call. This Sunday as we wrap up our Re:Connect series by exploring "Re:Connect to Our Call."

Perhaps one of the most familiar passages of scripture often called the "Love Chapter" in the Bible helps us as we talk this week in our Re:Connect series about reconnecting with each other.  This Sunday we explore how the words of the Apostle Paul help us with our disconnections with each other.

This week in our continuing ReConnect series, we encounter Nehemiah who was leading the people of God in rebuilding the city. In order to have the motivation to move forward required a reconnection with their God story that brought them back home.  ReConnecting with our God-Story reminds us and motivates us toward a God-preferred future. 

We're all good at something, but not all of us appreciate the "good" thing we've got. This Sunday, we'll think together about reconnecting to our gifts - both those we appreciate and those we .... don't. We'll try to remember - we're all good at something, and we're all good FOR something.

Our worship journey called Re:Connect continues this week as we explore our need to Re:Connect with Jesus.  It is also Baptism of the Lord Sunday where we look at Jesus' own baptism and in the midst of that we discover the waters of baptism are the perfect place to "Re:Connect."

As we begin to Re:Connect to who we are, we are reminded that our true inheritance is from the family of Christ.

A Christmas Eve celebration as we proclaim the Withness of Christ.

A Christmas Story to remind us the true meaning of Christmas.

What makes love tough? How does God make love easy? How do we grow in love, with God and with one another? Let's talk about LOVE.

God's presence gives us joy - not that joy means the absence of challenge or difficulty, but joy in all circumstances.
