  • Sermon: The Truth-Telling Women of Easter by Michelle Sevig on Apr 21, 2019

    Three named women in today’s gospel reading, Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary mother of James, along with other women who were at Jesus’ tomb, ran to tell the good news to the others; but the men didn’t believe them. The guys said their report was an idle tale.

  • Sermon: What A Waste! by Craig Mueller on Apr 07, 2019

    We ask ourselves, "Did I waste my time? My expenditure of energy? Was it worth it? Was my life worth it?" Yet, in God, all things belong, our bodies and souls. All things belong, even our great losses and things beyond our comprehension. Perhaps there is no greater loss than the body of Jesus crucified at a garbage heap. What a waste! Yet each Sunday we acclaim the cross as our life and resurrection. Everything belongs. So we press on to Easter. And to the God who provides a way through the wilderness wasteland to an extravagant springtime of new life.

  • Sermon: Ambassadors by Ben Adams on Mar 30, 2019

    In baptism we have been made one in Christ, and, once again, in the words of Paul from Second Corinthians, “if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!” We are reconciled and made new once again. Our old greedy or stubborn selves die, and we can once again return to our work and call as ambassadors of reconciliation, bringing heavenly healing, wholeness, grace, and unity to a foreign world that needs to know these things.

  • Sermon: More Than You Wanted to Know About Manure by Craig Mueller on Mar 24, 2019

    Lent is a time for some spiritual fertilizer. Be glad for one more year. One more spring. One more Easter. One more year to trust God more than money. One more year to forgive yourself and others. One more year to see your weaknesses and imperfections as the manure that may hold treasure.

Greetings from Pastor Mueller

Holy Trinity is unlike the churches most of us grew up in. Because it is fluid and ever-changing, the congregation has a remarkable spirit of openness and vitality. Yes, we value our Lutheran heritage and the ancient roots of our liturgy, yet we delight in a faith that is ever new and infused with a message for the needs and concerns of our contemporary world. As somebody recently put it: Our faith is two thousand years old, but our thinking is not.
