Lights, Camera, Action: Sunday Morning Live!

Live from Topeka, it's Sunday Morning Live! As we finish our worship series this week on "Lights, Camera, Action," Jesus will take center stage as he hosts worship on Sunday morning. What does it look like when Jesus encounters some of our most beloved Saturday Night Live characters? What if Peter and Paul were on Celebrity Jeopardy, and King David sat down with Church Lady?

The Triniteens have based their worship around one of the lectionary passages this week: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31.

The Triniteens will be reminding us that Trinity is one body with many members, and that we need the gifts/callings/talents of ALL our members to be the body of Christ in the world today. Just as Saturday Night Live is one show with many sketches, so too will "Sunday Morning Live" be one worship with many sketches, one offering with many different characters. Just as the Bible is one collection with many different books, so too will "Sunday Morning Live" reflect one theme with many different perspectives. Whether you are an avid Saturday Night Live fan or have never seen the show in your life, the Triniteens hope to bring the Word of God to life through laughter, singing, reading, and playing some cowbell.

As we head in after worship for our annual potluck and gathering, I hope you hear a message in the worship led by the Triniteens - a message that the body that Trinity is not complete without you, that the diversity in our unity makes us stronger, not weaker, and that God has called you to be an essential part of our body.

Grace and peace,
Pastor Kate
