Jesus' ministry continues! Jesus walks into his ministry and comes head to head with the prevalent relious system...sounds like he's a trouble maker, but there is good reason for his challenge...to drive people deeper!

Trinity Online Sunday School! Being Called!

/

Hi all!  I know this is "Sunday School"  and it is targetted toward children and families, but a lot of adults are getting a kick out of it too. Try it out for fun!

Today our Narrative Lectionary takes us to the Shores of The Sea of Galillee (Genesseret).  Jesus is preaching and healing and getting pressed by a crowd that is starting to turn a bit rowdy. He sees some fisherfolk with a boat and decides to use that as a pulpit. 

The story flows from there and after it all Jesus says to the Fishers..."Hey! Come along with me!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhIwTU9RbxY

When Jesus says, "Follow Me!" he is literally saying, "Join me on the Road!" "Come along and hang out with me!"  And as they do they slowly begin to discover what Jesus is all about, and what God is up to. 

Experience and living with, leads to deeper understanding! Following Jesus isn't like a class at school where you learn and learn and then have a test.  In the church we learn by doing. 

What is YOUR favorite thing we do in church?  A lot of the confirmation class recently said, "Potlucks with games and activities!" Things like the drum circle, pancake races, eating different food, meeting new people, and making things.  WOW! Think about, and talk to your family about things you learn in church events. Things like, "All are welcome. It's fun! We all have something to add." And the list goes on.

We are glad you are "On the Road" with us, and with Jesus, as we walk through life....always learning and growing.

Worship for Jan 17: Jesus' Hometown Visit

/

We continue to look at opening chapters in Jesus’ ministry. After his baptism and “testing” in the wilderness Jesus begins to preach and heal. And his fame spreads. Time to go to his hometown in Nazareth! Starts out OK but when the folks realize they aren’t going to get special treatment….trouble!

AND for the Young...and the Young at heart! Here is our Joyful Noise offering for this week. ENJOY!

Be ready to draw your thoughts and feelings along with the song, 'If anybody asks you who I am.'

Baptism of Jesus-January 10

/

Hello All! Here we are again with Trinity’s Online Worship Service for January 10th, 2021.  Luke 3.  Jesus is 30 now and his cousin John is preaching out in the Jordan wilds. Looks like he (John) is part of a branch of Judaism looking for an apocalyptic future with a fiery bend. He’s telling folk now is the time to get their lives straight; be baptized to wash away your “uncleanness” and live a life of justice. But it doesn’t work out the way John expects.  Cousin Jesus from Nazareth is baptized, and some extraordinary things happen. While praying Jesus hears a voice and sees God’s presence settle around him in an image from creation, where God hovered over the waters. Jesus’ ministry begins

 

There was an issue with the upload this is the actual video.

Online Worship for December 27th- Trinity, Pullman!

/

About 40 days after Jesus was born his parents took him to the Temple. All firstborn and their mothers were given a special blessing.  Simeon is on duty that day. He has been told that he will not die before he sees the Messiah, the chosen one who will set things right with the Jewish people.  No special announcement is given...he just knows when he picked up the baby...so does Anna, a prophet who lives on the Temple grounds...

Breaking into song, Simeon gives us one of the most beautiful short songs written... ENJOY!

To follow the Narrative Lectionary you can turn to Isaiah 61 and read through. This is a time, after the Babylonian Captivity. Many have returned to Jerusalem but they are faced with devastation. God's comes to them with Comfort and Strength..."Rebuild! But not in the ususal way....from top down mandate. Rather gather and heal from the "least of these" and their society will truly be rebuilt.

Blessings!


Online Trinity Worsip/Joyful Noise and Sunday School for December 6

/

Here is our Online Worship for December 6th....Joel. About 100 years after people returned from Babylon things still weren't all that great. A series of natural disasters (drought, locusts and plague) had people wondering if God was punishing them. No, no, no, says Joel...God simply wants you back and create a life where God is center.

JOYFUL NOISE Here is the link for the Joyful Noise video today! I big thank you to everyone who participated in the Advent video, I am so excited for you all to see the final project!

Otherwise, here is the link for this week's video- God is so good.

https://youtu.be/rc1qqrFPWkc

We have been with the prophets now for a few Sundays.  They were Holy men and women who spoke for God; calling people back into a good relationship with God and each other. Those promises were deep in people's minds, so that when Jesus was born people looked back and said, "Ah! That's what they were talking about."  Jesus was called, Emmanuel,which means, "God is with us". No longer separated by misunderstanding or our deciding that OUR way was best. Jesus becomes our best "window" as to what God is all about.

Think about all you know about Jesus; what he was like...who did he care for. What was his number one message?

Trinity Advent One November 29 Worship

Trinity Online Worsip for November 29: Advent One

 Daniel in the Lion’s Den

Advent is a season of hope, of waiting…of being content that we must embrace the journey, the places we find ourselves now, and not rush to fulfillment.  If ever there was a season tailor made for our world now…facing the darkness,,,

And our Sunday School

Daniel in the Lion’s Den

 In Today’s story we meet Daniel, a Jewish man living in Babylon.  A few years before the Babylonian Empire had conquered Israel and Judah and the Jewish people we shipped off to live in Babylon.

 Living in Babylon wasn’t all bad, but the people yearned ( kind of a heart hunger where you really really wished) …yearned to be home in Jerusalem.

 In this story some Babylonian leaders are jealous of Daniel and play a dirty trick by setting up a law they know Daniel won’t be able to follow.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEM_X25DWPk

 Think about what it must have been like to be in that dark cave with hungry lions!

 Would you be afraid! I would! But even through his fear Daniel trusted in God and God saved him! WOW!

 What does it feel like to be saved from a scary predicament?  Remember and share about a time you were in trouble and needed help. I remember when I was in Kindergarten and I climbed a tree and got stuck WAY up in the branches.  BOY OH BOY was I happy to see my Dad come and he helped me down.

 

Trinity Online Worship for November 22

Today God's Story/Our Story moves to Jeremiah.  Called to confront the King he shifts and tells of God's broken heart due to the faithlessness of all of Isrel.  'I will not write covenants on paper any more, but on their hearts, intertwined into the core of who they are....that THEY may be a living word of hope..."

For the final hymn, "All CRetures of our God and King, we invite you to read and meditate on the lyrics provided as you listen to the piece. l

Online Trinity for November 15th!

/

Here is our Worship Service for November 15th!  As we move toward Advent in a couple weeks we will be hearing more from the prophets.  Today's Narrative Lectionary tells us of Isaiah's Call to be a prophet. The formal name for such a vision is "Theophany", a vision or experience of the presence of God. In past stories God has appeared as a Voice to Abraham, a Burnng Bush to Moses and a Pillar of Fire to the Israelites. Today's story is taking this to a new level.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ! Sadly, Pastor's favorite video provider, Saddleback, didn't have a video of the story of the calling of Isaiah. This one's not too bad, a fun group of Book Worms learn about how God connects with His people.  In this story Isaiah has a very powerful, maybe a little strange, dream about the glory (flashing fire) of God filling the temple and heavenly creatures with six wings. God calls Isaiah to speak for him and Isaiah says, "Send me!"

Have you ever had a strange of funny dream? Dreams can be like Art, Music or Poetry which connect to an emotional part of who we are. Do you have a favorite song or story?  Does it make you feel Happy?  Sad? Thoughtful?

Good morning all! Quite a day yesterday....AND THE COUGS WON!

THE ONLINE WORSHIP SERVICE IS OUT on Email, Facebook, and the Website, and here is the link. This would be the exact same worship at Church So Your Ever Faithful, Caring President, Sue Rammelsberg and I have chosen to call off the Parking Lot service.

This morning Mother Nature is throwing us a curve ball. I just drove to church (7:00am) and I have to say that even with with 4WD I went sideways a couple times. 

Stay home, stay safe...and enjoy the Online Worship!
