Dear Trinity,
Why are we TRINITY church? What's so important about leaning into that identity as Trinitarian? Here's a great quote from Catherine Lacugna (God for Us: The Trinity and Christian Life)
Living trinitarian faith means living God’s life: living from and for God, from and for others.
Living trinitarian faith means living as Jesus Christ lived, in persona Christi: preaching the gospel; relying totally on God; offering healing and reconciliation; rejecting laws, customs, conventions that place persons beneath rules; resisting temptation; praying constantly; eating with modern-day lepers and other outcasts; embracing the enemy and the sinner; dying for the sake of the gospel if it is God’s will.
Living trinitarian faith means living according to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit: training the eyes of the heart on God’s face and name proclaimed before us in the economy; responding to God in faith, hope and love; eventually becoming unrestrictedly united with God.
Living trinitarian faith means living together in harmony and communion with every other creature in the common household of God, “doing all things to the praise and glory of God.”
Living trinitarian faith means adhering to the gospel of liberation from sin and fractured relationship: liberation from everything that misleads us into false worship, from everything that promotes unnatural, nonrelational personhood, from everything that displaces us to an exclusive household, from everything that deceives us into believing self-aggrandizing archisms.

Parking Reminder
Please leave the line of parking spaces closest to the church building empty on Sunday morning so the Brethren Baptists have places to park. Thank you for thinking of our brothers and sisters in that congregation.
