Holy Week and Eastertide Groups
Art: Arcabas - Road to Jerusalem
Dear Trinity,
As we round the bend toward Easter, this "last lap" is the perhaps the hardest, and the best. This Sunday, our sanctuary colors turn red to represent the passionate and sacrificial outpouring of our Lord Jesus Christ, on our behalf. "Because he first loved us..."
As we'll see, this love consistently leads us out of darkness, into light.Through death, and into resurrection!
Where will Jesus' passion meet you? And where will He bring you during the 50 Days of Easter?
Part of God's heart for us as Easter people is that no one walks alone...And to that end, we look forward to some new small groups and classes coming up. These groups are part of how we live "face to face" with each other at Trinity. It's in community that we are formed, and it's when we walk alongside others that we can become fully alive in Christ.
Check out the groups below.
The Marriage Course
Whether you’ve been married six months or 40 years, these seven weeks will give you time and space to focus on your relationship this spring.
Anglican Discovery
Learn in community with Nate Kellogg about how our Anglican tradition helps us step into the life of Jesus to serve His good world.
Confirmation Cohort
Join a 4-week cohort with Pastor Matt to better understand your baptism in Christ, as well as publicly confirm your faith in God.
Love Talks:
Reauthoring the Sexual Autobiography for Women of Faith
Friday, March 22 @ 6:30pm
If you have joined Pastor Matt for one of the two Love Talks he’s given recently, then you’ve caught a glimpse of how you might lay down some thoughtful, playful, and gradual stepping stones for your kids to understand the beautiful mystery of sex. And the more comfortable and confident we can approach these conversations, the better. Kids are, after all, very perceptive to our discomfort!
But many of us carry some wounds regarding our sexuality—from harmful interactions, from unhelpful messages, from mistakes made, and/or from the silence of those who raised us. We may find it difficult to talk or even think about our story of sexuality unfolding, because it brings up painful feelings like shame, fear, regret, and confusion. And the consequence to our relationships with our kids, spouse, body, and our Creator by way of our avoidance or reactivity, are very real.
But there is hope! Thinking about your story is the first step. That’s what you’ll do with me on March 22nd, if you choose to come. Talking about your story is the next step, and I hope that flows out into your relationships after our evening together.
Women, whether you have a car full of kids or no kids at all, you’re married, you’re single, you’re young, you’re not so young, this conversation is for you! And men, you are welcome to come join us too. You will likely learn some things that will help you understand and love the women in your lives.
In hopeful anticipation of all things being made new (especially sexuality),
Natalie Eggers

We started this service in Scotland in an attempt to... Continue Reading
