Good afternoon, Holy Trinity,
The worship video for Sunday, December 20 can be found here. This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. As you gather your bread and wine, you may also want to find the tea lights in your Advent box. We’ll light four candles.
If you’re using an Advent wreath this season, you may choose to use these words as you light the fourth candle: As our Advent pilgrimage draws to completion, give us love. Not flimsy love. Not fickle love. But the resilient, enduring kind of love that rises to meet unexpected challenges; the resilient, enduring kind of love that embraces the vulnerable; the resilient, enduring kind of love that reaches across time and space. This is the love we find in Jesus of Nazareth—Emmanuel, God with us—whose coming is certain and whose day draws near.
With love,
Pastor Ingrid
Join us for Holden Evening Prayer, virtually directed by Ann Schrooten, accompanied by Rachel Trelstad-Porter, and led by an ensemble of Holy Trinity singers. Holden is accompanied by slides of astronomical images that were organized by Professor James Flaten, who works for NASA’s MN Space Grant Consortium and who is based in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department at the University of Minnesota. Linnea Krig and Lydia Belusa-Niesen, two of our young adult leaders, share tonight’s powerful reflection.

This is the Second Sunday of Advent. As you gather your bread and wine, you may also want to find the tea lights in your Advent box. We’ll light the first and second candles. Today in worship we will hear recordings from a 2016 worship service at Holy Trinity which was led by our Adult Choir and Trinity Singers. Enjoy these encore recordings, and see if you can hear yourself singing in the choir or congregation!

(Singers recorded themselves at home, and Ann Schrooten stitched them all together.) Holden is accompanied by slides of astronomical images that were organized by Professor James Flaten who works for NASA’s MN Space Grant Consortium and who is based in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department at the University of Minnesota. We’re grateful to James for generously sharing this slide deck with us. Lyna Wilder shares tonight’s powerful reflection.
