On April 21st, Pastor Dave Daubert spoke on faith, hope and love in 1st Thessalonians 13. He focused on how we can be grounded in Christ by knowing that our hopes will eventually be fulfilled in the promises of Christ. In the scripture, the Apostle Paul praised the church in Thessalonica for sharing faith, hope and love with others in their surroundings. In this way, our church is grounded in Christ when we share faith, hope and love with those outside our walls. As in our purpose statement, we are grounded in Christ when we share with our neighbors.
On Apr 14, 3rd Sunday of Easter, Vicar Andrea focused on the beggar the disciples Peter and John encountered at the temple at the time of prayer. The beggar sought silver or gold, but John said "Silver or gold I do not have, but ... in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." In the same way, God will bless us in ways we could never expect. God sees you, notices you, and welcomes everyone.
April 7: On the second weekend of Easter, we remembered when the crowds expected Jesus to emerge as a worldly king. Instead, He called his followers to go forth expelling demons, healing and witnessing to Him. Pastor Dave mentioned that faith is the lens through which we can see God's purpose in our own life.

April 7: On the second weekend of Easter, we remembered when the crowds expected Jesus to emerge as a worldly king. Instead, He called his followers to go forth expelling demons, healing and witnessing to Him. Pastor Dave mentioned that faith is the lens through which we can see God's purpose in our own life. We sang "I love to tell the glory of Jesus and His love... The old, old story will be our theme in glory!"
Mar 31: Easter Sunday we celebrated the resurrection of Christ. Vicar Andrea reminded us of the three women who came to Jesus' tomb and were so blessed to find that He arose. Now it's our turn to share this good news. Today Easter remains as true as it was 2,000 years ago. Easter means that God's love is bigger than death itself. God won
Mar 31: Easter Sunday we celebrated the resurrection of Christ. Vicar Andrea reminded us of the three women who came to Jesus' tomb and were so blessed to find that He arose. Now it's our turn to share this good news. Today Easter remains as true as it was 2,000 years ago. Easter means that God's love is bigger than death itself. God won't stop loving us even when we think it's the end. God's love has no end.
On Mar 29, Good Friday, we studied contemporary paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross. Resounding bell tones marked each station as organist Michael Fetzer played melancholy hymns, including "Were you there when they crucified my Lord?".

On Mar 29, Good Friday, we studied contemporary paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross. Resounding bell tones marked each station as organist Michael Fetzer played melancholy hymns, including "Were you there when they crucified my Lord?". We wrote on cards to remember people we feel called to serve and those we profoundly love and deposited the cards near the cross. Remembering Good Friday with sadness, everyone departed in silence.

Mar 28: After remembering Jesus' final week on earth, Holy Trinity hosted a unique Maundy Thursday Tea. During the service that day, ladies of the church prepared lovely tables near the altar and within the pews. Everyone shared token foods as we recalled the story of the passion of Jesus: costly oil, 30 pieces of silver, unleavened bread, olives, Gethsemane figs, and sunflower seeds representing the tears of the disciple, Peter.
On Mar 24, our congregation carried palms through the church in memory of Jesus' procession into Jerusalem. In his message, Pastor Dave described Jesus' last days in Bethany with the 12 disciples as he prepared for his crucifixion. As he rested with those who loved him, he needed to receive comfort, not being alone, before facing a painful death.
In the March 17th service, HTLC Quilting Queens adorned our pews with their home-made quilts for distribution to needy people in other countries. Vicar Andrea's sermon reminded us that we need to be constantly aware of God, who is around us always.
On Mar 10, Emma and Gus Thompson were featured on March 10. A black family in Coronado, California in wartime 1939, Emma and Gus invited the Dong family to live in their home in spite of prohibitive housing laws against the Chinese. Eventually Emma and Gus gave their home to the Dongs, who eventually sold the home and donated $5 million
On Mar 10, Emma and Gus Thompson were featured on March 10. A black family in Coronado, California in wartime 1939, Emma and Gus invited the Dong family to live in their home in spite of prohibitive housing laws against the Chinese. Eventually Emma and Gus gave their home to the Dongs, who eventually sold the home and donated $5 million in proceeds to San Diego State University’s Black Resource Center. What a striking example of love for your neighbor!
On Mar 3, Pastor Dave reminded us of teachings from Martin Luther - that all we have comes from God, is entrusted to us, and we need to use it for God's work in the world. Everything we do should bring glory to God.
On Feb 25th, Vicar reminded us about the game of Monopoly, which reflected concerns for wealth in the depression years. She contrasted this game with Christ's teaching on leadership, that to be first among others you should be their servant. In Monopoly, you seek great weath, as in the Theology of Glory. But in following Christ, each of

She contrasted this game with Christ's teaching on leadership, that to be first among others you should be their servant. In Monopoly, you seek great weath, as in the Theology of Glory. But in following Christ, each of us needs to serve everyone. Through the church, we can manifest our faith
On Feb 18, we also prayed for peace, which we have been doing at Holy Trinity every week.
Prayer of peace: God of love, your word teaches that peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice. Peace is what happens when those who have much do not have too much and those who have little do not have too little. The very old
On Feb 18, we also prayed for peace, which we have been doing at Holy Trinity every week.
Prayer of peace: God of love, your word teaches that peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice. Peace is what happens when those who have much do not have too much and those who have little do not have too little. The very old and the very young feel safe and supported. Parents can feed themselves and their children and all have the opportunity for meaningful work in their community. Let us pray and work for this kind of peace. Lord Jesus, hear our prayer.
