Worship & Congregation

The Pauline account of the gifts of the Spirit describes parts of the Body of Christ as both unique and interdependent. There is a role for each of us and it can be known by paying attention to reality, paying attention to the movement of our own spirits, and by prayerful reflection and by community feedback.

“Who am I?” is a question that we begin to ask ourselves as soon as the separation process from our parents begins and it continues for our whole lives. When we listen and look for God in ourselves, we can discover who we are.

Welcome to the newest member of Trinity’s clergy, the Rev. Yein Kim, who is joining us as Priest for Congregational Life.

[Sunday’s] passage reminds us of God’s all-inclusive love. It tells us, regardless of how well we know a story or the “way it is supposed to be,” God is likely doing something unexpected. Can we see it? 

The Holy Spirit had filled Jesus with a clear vision of the ways he could show and share the good news of God’s loving “kin-dom.” He committed to his mission by pronouncing himself and his purpose in public in front of people who had known him as an ordinary child. But Jesus knew that God loved him and everyone the same; and everyone is special and beloved.
