join with Trinity at home as we celebrate Easter Sunday.

Join Trinity Presbyterian Church as they worship at home this Palm Sunday.

Worship at Home with Trinity Presbyterian Church.  
Scriptures for this Sunday are Psalm 29 and John 4:7-26

Worship at Home with the Trinity staff.  A sermon conversation about Jesus speaking to the woman at the well.  A child's moment with puppets and music from Carol and Robert.

A different type of worship service. Listen to scripture and join in the conversation at the well.

Scripture: John 4: 1-42

Beginning with the opening prayer, the youth were in charge of the service this Sunday.  Scripture readings were Psalm 121 and John 3:1-17. The message was given by Robert Gay and Wil Thomas, followed with a poetry reading and charge and benediction.

The scripture for Sunday was: Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7 and  Matthew 4:1-11.  Judith preaches on the wilderness Jesus encounters in Matthew's verses.  She explores the desolate places in our lives and the different emotions and God moments you can encounter in solitude.

Courtney, Mike, Stuart, and Ben pick their top fast food items in a draft style competition.  You get to vote for the winner.

Pastor Judith preaches on Exodus 24:12-18, Psalm 97:1-5, and Matthew 17:1-9. On Transfiguration Sunday she talks about being infinitely alive from mountaintop experiences.

Pastor Judith preaches on Romans 7:15-25, Dueteronomy 30:15-20; and Psalm 199:1-8. She encourages us to be vulnerable with one another and admit how hard it is to live out God's intentions for the world and how hard it is to live out the intentions we have set for ourselves in response to God.

Judith preaches on how we struggle with being the salt of the earth and the light on the hill. She delves into how religious practices,  like fasting, are meant to help us align with God's ways.  The scripture is from Isaiah 58:1-12 and Matthew 5:13-20 .                             

Courtney, Mike, Stuart, and Ben pick their favorite cereals. Listen, then vote for your favorite list.

Pastor Judith and Ben talk about the other Presbyterian sacrament, Communion.

Guest preacher Rev. John Molina-Moore, the National Capital Presbyter, visited Trinity this Sunday with a message of mission and the different ways to connect and be a missional church.  The scripture was from Exodus 3:7-12 and John 20:20-23

Pastor Judith preaches on the scriptures from John 1:29-42 and Luke 5:1-11.  She discusses Epiphany meaning more than "God with Us" but "God with all creation."

Pastor Judith and Ben talk about John the Baptist, Jesus' Baptism and what Baptism means to Presbyterians.

Pastor Judith preaches on Isaiah 42:1-9, Pslam 29, and Matthew 3:13-17. She speaks about the baptism of Jesus and relates it to natural disasters.  Asking where is God in your life?  When are you bathed in God's love and light?

Pastor Judith preaches on Jeremiah 31:7-14 and Matthew 2:1-23 on Epiphany.  She concludes that our God is a God who can walk with us through an imperfect world.

On the Fourth Sunday of Advent Pastor Judith explores how Mary and Joseph dealt with their family problems of the time.  Her words remind us that God is with us always, he is not waiting for a better version of us, but is here right now.  Scriptures:  Colossians 1:15-23;  Ephesians 1:3-4, 8-10;   Matthew 1:18-25

Pastor Judith explores the third Sunday of Advent and the joy that can be found even after indescribable loss, such as the Chernobyl accident.  She encourages us to be ready for little glimpses of joy that is on the horizon.  The  scriptures are Isaiah 35:1-10; Joel 2:21-27; James 5:7-10;  and Luke 1:47-55.  

On the second Sunday of Advent, Pastor Judith explores Advent and the time of holy longing, when we look at improbable dreams, like the lion and the lamb, and wonder if they might one day come ture.  The lectionary readings are: of Isaiah 11:1-10;  Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19 ;  Genesis 1:26-30 ; Matthew 3:1-12.  

Paul Mannes and Ben have a look at Matthew 1-2 and see if there is more going on than just a nice story about Jesus' birth.

Courtney, Mike, Stuart, and Ben pick their top Christmas movies. Do you agree?

Pastor Judith welcomes in the Advent season with the scriptures from Isaiah 2:1-5; Genesis 1:1-5; Romans 13:11-14; John 1:1-18.  Judith talks about the hope for Advent and about being the light during the Advent season.

The Racial Justice Group led the worship service this Sunday. The scriptures wer Isaiah 58:6-12; Revelation 21:1-7; Luke 10:25-7.  The sermon was given through three personal though provoking perspectives of Mary McClelland (growing up with segregation), Magda Rolfes (how we can do better to fight racism) , and Merrit Gillard (white supremacy's subtle permutations). 

Ever wonder where the line is between normal anxiety and anxiety that’s a problem? Dan Campbell LCSW and Rich Long, Ed.D., Trinity Mental Health Wellness Team members, talk about anxiety – especially how it touches adults and parents -for a 40-minute podcast.   They answer questions raised after the screening of the documentary, “Angst,” including ideas on how to cope with anxiety and when to seek assistance.  This is one in a series on the topic but is “free-standing” as one may listen in any order.  

On Commitment Sunday, Pastor Judith talks about tithing, living the Jesus way of life and building your life on a strong foundation.
