Trust in God

Trust in God

6 days ago

Satan, the accuser and father of lies, wants us to believe that God doesn’t really love us; that God can’t really be trusted and doesn’t want the best for us. That He’s just waiting for us to mess up, so He can punish us. Those are all lies, and we have to reject them and live in the truth that God does love us. He is trustworthy. He does want good for us. And coming to know Him and these truths is the path of healing, freedom, and a life of abundance.

A faith that runs towards danger

A faith that runs towards danger

Monday Jul 25, 2022

Life on our beautiful but broken planet has always been threatened by dangerous natural forces, by chance, by sin, and by those mysterious dark powers at war with God and with life. Our mission as children of God is to "sparkle with self-forgetfulness": to stand in the breach, to intercede, and even sometimes to risk our lives out of love for our neighbor. So this week, as you’re offering your day to God each morning, insert this little petition - “Lord Jesus, give me an opportunity today to sparkle with self-forgetfulness.” - and see how He answers you.

May our Love be Greater than our Differences

Monday Jul 11, 2022

We are called to love our neighbor regardless of our differences, which means we do not avoid, reject, or cancel others. Is this easy? No - but the most important things rarely are.

Tender Farewells

Monday Jun 27, 2022

For his final homily at Holy Trinity, Fr. Dave reviews the three major themes that developed and drove his ministry these past 15 years: Invite God into everything in your life. When we put Him first, all else falls into place. This is not heaven. Expect and accept difficulties, questions, and the cross. Learn to carry a dynamic tension, knowing that in real life with real people most issues are not simply black and white. Jesus calls us to meet people where they are and walk with them.

Eucharist: letting the Lord touch our owies

Eucharist: letting the Lord touch our owies

Monday Jun 20, 2022

Sometimes we think we need to present a sanitized version of ourselves or of our lives to God, and then we wonder why we’re not healed. Why do we do that? Jesus ate with sinners, willingly. He touched the sick, physically. He sought out the lost, intentionally. He’s comfortable with our weakness, our brokenness, our foolishness. And in the Eucharist, he waits for us, like a parent waiting for their hurt child to move their hands so they can treat their owie.

Our Mission - Know, Grow, Go

Holy Trinity summarizes its purpose as  know, grow, go. These three words define and motivate everything we do here.

KNOW:  We are committed to providing the necessary tools, support, and encouragement for each person to come to know God in a personal way.  There is a huge difference between knowing  about God, and coming to  know God in a personal way.  The ministry of Jesus was directed to show us how to do this and to make this possible.

“I bow my knees before the Father, and ask that he may grant you to be strengthened thru the Holy Spirit, that Christ may dwell in your hearts, and that being rooted in love you may have the power to comprehend the extravagant love of God, and to personally experience the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge.”

Eph. 3:14-18


GROW:  Holy Trinity then provides many services helpful in allowing this relationship with God to grow towards greater maturity.  Our liturgies, ministries, programs, school, and community are all dedicated to ongoing growth in our faith and in living that faith deeply and fruitfully.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you might be able to resist the attack of the devil. Put on truth, righteousness, peacefulness, and faith. Pray with fervor. Keep alert. Speak boldly. Intercede persistently for all."

Eph. 6:13-20


GO:  All of this leads us to go forth and make a difference in our community:  in our families, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and everywhere we are.  We seek to give God permission to use us and our interests, gifts, and skills for the building of his Kingdom.

"As each has received a gift, employ it for one another as good stewards of God’s abundant and varied grace — in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”

1 Peter 4:10-11
