our mission

As God’s people, we will share the love of God in a way that nurtures body, mind and spirit. Demonstrating God’s love for the world, we will serve a diverse population and accept one another without reservations. By including all people as one family in worship and service to God, we are all empowered and inspired by

the Spirit to continue the work of Jesus Christ.

Today’s flowers are dedicated to Mark Asman. Thank you Mark Asman for the years of unfailing leadership And friendship! ~Nollie Lei Dawson

mark’s retirement events

THE MARK ASMAN PROGRESSIVE THEOLOGY FUND: IN HONOR OF MARK’S LEGACYAs we say goodbye to our rector of 22 years we are mindful of Mark’s leadership into a fresh understanding of what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century. He has embodied and lifted up principles of love, justice, inclusion, abundance and interfaith awareness, with each of these supported by progressive theology and passion to manifest the presence of God in the world. In acknowledgment of that legacy we are launching the Mark Asman Progressive Theology Fund. The purpose of this endowment fund is to sponsor special speakers and conferences, such as our weekend with Matthew Fox, that promote our commitment to progressive theology and interfaith adult education. If you would like to express your appreciation to and for Mark with a monetary gift, please contribute to this endowment fund. Simply write a check to Trinity and put Asman PT Fund in the memo line. Thank you!

All are welcome in Morning Prayer at 8:30 a.m., weekdays in the chapel. Enter through the Micheltorena gate.

about pledging

Our vision of Stewardship recognizes that God is the giver and has blessed each one of us with many gifts. Common to us all is the privilege and blessing of how we use the precious gifts of our time, talent and treasure. Stewardship is the spiritual practice of discerning the use of these gifts in building God’s dream of love and justice in our hearts, relationships and world. At Trinity we call your gift of time and talent Shared Ministry and we call your gift of treasure a pledge. Pledge forms are available at the Welcome Table.
