The Trinity sanctuary opens at 5:15pm for a time of quiet prayer practice from 5:30pm to 6:00pm. For those not used to silent prayer, candles and quiet background music provide an entry point into contemplation.

Labyrinth Walk 2025
2025-11-01 09:00 - 12:00 | Trinity, 511 Oak Street, Colusa, CA, 95932, United States
Labyrinth
Drop in: 9am-12pm
Stop by and walk this year’s labyrinth in Friendship Hall. We will have the candle lit walk open from 9am to 12pm. The space also lends itself to reflection, prayer, and contemplation. Light refreshments will be served. Drop in! All are welcome.

Labyrinths are one-way, maze-like paths used for walking prayer and contemplation. This year, you are invited to walk the path in remembrance of loved ones who have passed. The Labyrinth Walk is a quiet, contemplative space. People of all faiths and no faith at all are invited to participate. You don’t need to believe anything to find quietude and connection on the labyrinth path.
The labyrinth walking path has been with humanity for thousands of years. Christianity adopted and tweaked the ancient labyrinth form to speak specifically to the journey toward the heart of Christ. The path traced by a labyrinth is a symbol of spiritual movement. It is a way to think about a disciplined spiritual life. The switchbacks and redirections are predictable. One minute, you are walking directly toward the center, and then you find yourself on the outer ring. You walk your way back to the center. Eventually, the path leads into the heart of the labyrinth and the heart of the present moment.

Messy Church Christmas Service
December 18th, 5:30 pm
all are welcome, young families encouraged to join us
Children are always welcome to be themselves at Trinity, but sometimes they get bored. Messy church is for them.
We will gather in the Sanctuary, share the story of Jesus being born, share (battery-powered) votive candles, sing Silent Night, and then take that light out of the Sanctuary and into the world as we move down into Friendship Hall for a simple meal and crafts. Please join us for all or part of this fun event.
(You need not be a member, Methodist, Christian, or believe anything at all to come join in this kid-friendly, Christmas service. Friends are welcome!)

Christmas Eve Service
5:30 pm
all are welcome
Join us our Christmas Eve Service celebrating the birth of Jesus.
On Christmas Eve, we light the Christ candle. Like the shepherds, we can choose, despite our fear, to trust in the message of the angels, “Do not be afraid,” and live as if we are, indeed, part of the unfolding story of Christ.

History
“The Way of the Cross” contemplation originated with pilgrims and crusaders to Jerusalem following the steps of Jesus to Golgatha. For centuries Christians have remembered Jesus’ final days in pictures placed along a path or as a printed sheet.

Questions

What passage in this scripture most resonates or offends you? Why?
How did you walk through an awful situation? Did this experience change your understanding of, or connection with, God?
When have your shown courageous love by going the distance for someone?
What does the cross mean to you, personally?

Prayer
Jesus, help us be awake with you in Gethsemane.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Help us resist the impulse to pin you down,
to fit you inside a story and inside a book that can be shut.
Help us resist the impulse to pin ourselves down,
to fit ourselves inside a story too small for our souls.
The truth is too big for a book– it’s loose in the world.
Christ, help us be awake with you in the world.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Amen.
