Honoring the Sabbath can be a challenging thing is a busy world, but Trinity nonetheless takes a look at Jesus' action of healing on the Sabbath, the Second Commandment, and a developing ethic of what brings and promotes life.

With guest preacher Rev. Lauren Muratore, Trinity is invited to consider the power behind what we consider our treasure, and the power behind sharing those treasures with all creation just as God has shared, is sharing, and will always share overabundant love with us.

As Trinity considers where our treasure is, we look at the effort we put towards prayer, the grace of God in the midst of that effort, and how we are oriented toward God and toward neighbor.

The Lord's Prayer is one of the many ways Jesus taught his disciples to center their lives in the movement, work, and grace of the Kingdom of God. This week, Trinity reflects on their week of prayer as we center ourselves in the midst of God's kingdom come, and God's will be done.

The people of Trinity, after hearing the popular story of Mary and Martha, consider the balance they have each struck between the work they are called to do and a regular conversation with the God that calls them. In this, we are challenged to pray each morning this week, and will reflect on the experience this next Sunday.

Confronted by the needless death of our African American brothers and sisters throughout the country, the needless death of several police officers in Dallas, and the very parable of Jesus for today, Trinity considers if our neighboring looks like what Jesus had in mind.

Seeing the 70 sent out in today's text by Jesus and coming back rejoicing, Trinity considers together and individually what we are being sent out to do.

Hearing what seems to be a standard healing story of Jesus, Trinity focuses on the out-of-order nature of grace for all God's people.

Finally back into "Ordinary Time," Trinity reorients to the center of our existence. Hint: it's not us.

As Trinity celebrates its own namesake we are encouraged to share our stories of God in each of our own lives, trusting that there is grace for any theological shortcomings.

Celebrating the baptisms of two of our youngest disciples and listening to the John 10 text, Trinity looks for the voice of God in the most common of places.

On this third Sunday of Easter, Trinity finds Jesus eating breakfast with his disciples, and asks what it looks like for us to commune with Jesus and our neighbors today.

As Trinity looks at the text for this Sunday in a post-Easter holiday daze, we consider as disciples what to do with a resurrected Jesus.

Happy Easter! This Sunday, Trinity explores the root of Christian hope. In Christ, we see that God's love is unending and unconditional.
