Trinity Sunday
| | Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

I bind unto myself the Name, the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in ThreeSt Patrick's Breastplate - Hymnal 370
|
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Saint Patrick is best known as having evangelized Ireland in the 5th century, and stories have grown up about how he explained the one God in trinity of persons to the pagan tribesmen by means of the shamrock. The words of the Lorica, or Breastplate, some of which are quoted above, are also generally attributed to him.
St Patrick's Breastplate is one of my favorite hymns, and one appropriately sung on Trinity Sunday (thank you Patty!) Confronted with hostile tribesmen, in a country where he had been taken as a slave in his teens, Patrick trusts in the protection of the Triune God whom he came to know intimately during his years in captivity. Some years after escaping from his captors Patrick hears God calling him to return to Ireland to share the Good News of salvation with those who had enslaved him as a young teen.
He walks unafraid as he binds to himself "the strong Name of the Trinity ... the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need; the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard."
May we, like Patrick, bind this strong Name to ourselves, in the sure knowledge that this Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit keeps us, and holds us in the deep dance of love that is the Trinity.
In the Peace, Grace, and Love of our Lord, Rev'd Sarah+ |

Fellowship Under the Word
Home Fellowship Groups begin this week
 | |
Preview on Amazon
|
The group in Sue Burley's house, Maitland, will begin meeting on Thursday, June 7 and will meet from 7:00-8:30 pm. Paulette Webster will be the facilitator. This is a women's group.
The group in Roy and Bev Lassiter's house, Winter Park, will begin meeting on Wednesday, June 6, and will meet from 6:30-8:00 pm. Gavin Lee will facilitate the discussion. This is a mixed group (men, women, single, married)
The groups will be following along with a wonderfully engaging study on Paul's Letter to the Romans designed for "everyone" by NT Wright. This is a very "user-friendly" study - no prior Bible study experience needed. These home groups are a great way to deepen our fellowship with each other, to pray for each other, and to have an easy conversation with the Apostle Paul.
Although not required, participants might find it helpful to purchase

the study guide themselves (see photo above and click on image to follow link to Amazon) or at a cost of $10 through the Church.
Another possible, although not required resource is NT Wright's translation and commentary on Romans (see image to the right, and follow link to a preview on Amazon). If you are interested in participating in a group, and/or would like to purchase a study guide, please contact Terri Sims in the church office or by email her here

"The 5 Wishes"
Sunday, June 10th 9:15 - 10:15 am in Roberta's Hall sponsored by the Pastoral Care Commission
 Donna Gray, Community Education Coordinator with Hospice of the Comforter, will give a presentation on The Five Wishes booklet. This is a document that gives one a way to control something very important. "It is the first living will that talks about your personal, emotional and spiritual needs, as well as medical wishes. It gives one the opportunity to talk with family, friends, and doctor about how you want to be treated, if you became seriously ill. They will not have to guess what you want and/or make hard choices without knowing your wishes." Donna will explain the importance of completing this document now, no matter what our age or state of health, and she will explain how to complete the booklet. She will also be available to answer any questions you might have. |
