First Sunday in Lent - 02/26/2023
On Wednesday this last week, we heard the words “Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”
The Ash Wednesday service pivots on a soul-baring confession of the insidious and invisible clutter of our spiritual lives and our failures to recall our own faith and God’s grace. Ash-smudged, humbled and forgiven, we gathered to share a meal and recall holy Love’s power to vanquish death.

State of the Parish Address - February 5, 2023
State of the Parish Address
Trinity Parish of Seattle
February 5, 2023
Typically the State of the Parish Address happens on the same Sunday as the Annual Meeting. When we held our Annual Meeting last Sunday, I was in the middle of a pernicious and humbling non-COVID virus. With gratitude for healing rest and your patience, I have had another week to reflect on Trinity’s life and ministry in 2022 and look ahead into 2023.
Dear People of God, congregation of Trinity Parish, my siblings in Christ,
Greetings in the name of the one, holy, and indivisible God. I give thanks for you every day, and for the gift and privilege of proclaiming the Good News of God’s love with you.
