Compline with Story and Sound

An evening service intended for rest and contemplation.

Compline is led by the Rev. Sarah Thomas. It begins with synthesized ambient music by DJ artist, Andrew Elia, then a transition with loose-leaf brewed herbal tea, and concludes with the opportunity to hear a person share a personal story.

This month’s storyteller is Joe Miller.  He will share about the force of poetry in his life, and the value of learning it by heart.

Joe grew up in Los Angeles and holds a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy. A dreamer and idealist, he took a job hanging draperies and blinds, and has remained in that line of work for 40 years. Today he is owner of Santa Barbara Screen and Shade. Keeping his inner dreamer alive, and he is also engaged in choral singing, classical guitar, writing and speechifying.  

 Incense and candlelight are used during the service. Trinity is an LGBTQ+ welcoming and affirming congregation.  www.trinitysb.org/compline
