WELCOME TO HOLY TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH ONLINE
Our vision: To make the grace and love of Jesus known to all: Home, Congregation, Community, World.
Our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story. Holy Trinitys Story and The ELCAs story is both ancient and timely. Its a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of the world, who brings justice for the oppressed. Its a story of Jesus Christ, changing lives. Its a story that brings comfort and strength to people who today live in modern, often unsettling times. Learn more about our beliefsand become a part of our story.
. A Spiritual Advent Reflection (taken from: The Meaning is in the Waiting)
During Advent, we remember how sacred a calling is waiting. It is not just we who wait. God is waiting, too. "The Lord waits, that He may be gracious unto you," says Isaiah. God waits on us, for our attention, for our visits home; God waits for our vision and our ear. "God's waiting and man's," wrote the nineteenth-century British minister Alexander Maclaren, in a reflection on Isaiah 30:18. How "bold and beautiful that He and we should be represented as sharing the same attitude." Here, then, is something of the mystery of the incarnation: God's being like us is not limited to God's taking on feet and hands and hair. God is like us in this posture of pause and expectance and anticipation and longing and wondering where we are. So Advent is not only about our waiting for God, waiting for God to get born, waiting for God to come back. It is also a time when we enter God's waiting, God's divine waiting. And perhaps

In the name of the Risen Christ teach us to pray together.Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen
