This year, in addition to our Sunday services, we invite you to celebrate the season of Advent at home in the evenings. Consider using the Advent Devotions booklet (link below) as a resource for your Saturday or Sunday evenings at home this Advent season. The devotions are designed for use on the Saturday or Sunday evenings in Advent, and are geared for both gatherings of families and pods, as well as those (like Pastor Thomas) who are a household-of-1 at the moment!
Also, Trinity will be broadcasting a setting of the Holden Evening Prayer service. Links to these will go out via email during the week, but you can participate any time you would like! It is a service of music and light, meditation and offers all the "feels." Please join us online. Videos will be posted on our YouTube page (Trinity Lutheran, Santa Barbara).
