WELCOME TO TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH  TULSA

 
Welcome to Trinity Episcopal Church!
As Episcopalians, we believe that God is love. We have experienced that love in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who teaches us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. In response, we share God’s love without reservation.

We believe that God redeems and restores human lives through Jesus Christ, who tells us to make disciples of those seeking God's grace and steadfast love. The Holy Spirit allows us to speak humbly and happily with others about our faith.

We believe that God calls us into covenant with God and each other. We gather for worship, fellowship, and friendship to care, encourage, learn, and grow in love and faith. We build a faith community to do these things, offer caring service to the community, and share God’s love with others.

We believe in striving for justice and peace among all people and respecting the dignity of every human being. Trinity welcomes and affirms people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and presentations. We believe all people are equal recipients of God’s grace and that all people may fully partake of the sacraments and spiritual benefits of faith; God gives us signs of that grace.

Hosanna in the Highest: A Palm Sunday Reflection

"They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!'"John 12:13

As Holy Week began, we paused to remember a moment of profound hope and vibrant celebration. Last Sunday, we marked Palm Sunday, the day Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The crowds gathered, voices lifted in praise, waving palm branches to welcome the one they believed would deliver them.

When we looked closer at this joyful scene, we uncovered a powerful message about the nature of our Savior. Jesus did not arrive on a majestic warhorse surrounded by an army. Instead, he rode into the city on a humble donkey. This intentional choice fulfilled Zechariah's ancient prophecy, showing the world that his kingdom was built on peace rather than earthly power.

The palm branches that the people waved were traditional symbols of victory and triumph. By laying them on the dusty road, the crowd honored Jesus as their true King. Yet, amidst the loud and joyful shouts of "Hosanna," we witnessed the quiet, incredible humility of Christ. He accepted their praise, fully knowing that the road ahead would quickly lead from celebration to the cross. He embraced the crowd's joy while preparing to bear the heavy weight of our redemption.

Last Palm Sunday, we invited everyone to lay down their own branches. We encouraged each other to welcome the King of Peace into our hearts and our homes. As we stepped into the solemn reflections of Holy Week together, we carried the spirit of humility and the quiet strength that Jesus showed on that road to Jerusalem.

May God bless you and your loved ones as we journey toward Easter.

A Reflection on Maundy Thursday: The Mandate of Love

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."John 13:34

On Maundy Thursday, we gathered to remember the profound events of the final night Jesus shared with his disciples. As we reflected on the Last Supper, we witnessed a powerful demonstration of servant leadership and enduring grace.

We recalled how Jesus, the King of Kings, took a simple basin and towel to wash the dusty feet of his friends. This remarkable act of humility showed us that true greatness comes through serving others. He gave his followers a new mandate—the root of the word "Maundy"—commanding us to love one another exactly as he loved us.

During that same meal, Jesus broke bread and shared the cup, asking his disciples to do the same in remembrance of him. By instituting the Holy Eucharist, he provided a beautiful, lasting way for us to experience his presence and partake in his sacrifice.

As we worshipped and remembered that sacred night, we left the sanctuary with quiet hearts. The solemn reflection of Maundy Thursday reminded us to carry Christ's deep humility and radical love into our daily lives, sustaining us as we moved forward into the shadows of Good Friday. May we draw strength and hope from these sacred memories as we continue our journey together through Holy Week.
