  • Trinity Sunday HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II June 16, 2019 10:30 A.M
    St. John’s Episcopal Church A place to discover connections with God and one another www.sjparish.net Trinity Sunday HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II June 16, 2019 10:30 a.m. 2 TRINITY SUNDAY A Trinity Sunday Message from the Rector Today is Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost. On this day, we celebrate the three-fold personhood of God, our creator; Jesus, the Son of God; and the Holy Spirit, the life force of God in the world. How to understand these three distinct but interconnected aspects of the most Holy One is itself a Mystery. Since the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles on the first Pentecost, Christians have wrestled with the meaning of the Trinity. For more than 2,000 years, theological tomes have been written on this subject and great church counsels have labored, often with a great deal of conflict, to figure out how to describe the nature of the Trinity — and we still struggle today. Nonetheless, what matters most is how we experience God in our everyday lives. Through our deepening relationship with the Holy One, we begin to live into the peace and love of God that passes all understanding. Because we know that where love is, there God is also. If you are with us for the first time, please make yourself comfortable. We look forward to meeting you. If you would like to learn more about the church, please fill out a card (hanging in each pew), put it in the offering plate or hand it to an usher or member of the clergy, and we will be in touch.

  • First Sunday After Pentecost: Trinity Sunday June 7, 2020
    First Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday June 7, 2020 Trinity Sunday Feast that celebrates "the one and equal glory" of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, "in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being" (BCP, p. 380). It is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is one of the seven principal feasts of the church year (BCP, p. 15). The proper readings and collect for Trinity Sunday are used only on the feast, not on the weekdays following. The numbered proper which corresponds most closely to the date of Trinity Sunday is used (BCP, p. 228). The BCP also provides the proper "Of the Holy Trinity" for optional use at other times, subject to the rules of the calendar of the church year (see BCP, pp. 251, 927). The Hymnal 1982 presents ten hymns in a section on The Holy Trinity (Hymns 362- 371), including "Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!" (Hymn 362), "Come, thou almighty King" (Hymn 365), and "Holy Father, great Creator" (Hymn 368). Celebration of Trinity Sunday was approved for the western church by Pope John XXII in 1334. This feast is associated with Thomas Becket (c. 1118-1170), who was consecrated bishop on Trinity Sunday, 1162. His martyrdom may have influenced the popularity of the feast in England and the custom of naming the remaining Sundays of the church year "Sundays after Trinity." The Sarum Missal and editions of the Prayer Book through the 1928 BCP named these Sundays the Sundays after Trinity. The 1979 BCP identifies this portion of the church year as the season after Pentecost, and names these Sundays the Sundays after Pentecost (see BCP, p.

Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God, the God of manna, the God of miracles, the God of mercy. Amen. Drawn to Christ and seeking God’s abundance, let us confess our sin. God, our provider, help us. It is hard to believe there is enough to share. We question your ways when they differ from the ways of the world in which we live. We turn to our own understanding rather than trusting in you. We take offense at your teachings and your ways. Turn us again to you. Where else can we turn? Share with us the words of eternal life and feed us for life in the world. Amen. Beloved people of God: in Jesus, the manna from heaven, you are fed and nourished. By Jesus, the worker of miracles, there is always more than enough. Through Jesus, ☩ the bread of life, you are shown God’s mercy: you are forgiven and loved into abundant life. Amen.

  • Holy Trinity Sunday May 31, 2015 Isaiah
    1 Holy Trinity Sunday May 31, 2015 Isaiah 6:1-8, Acts 2:14a, 22-36, John 3:1-17 Title: Born at Any Age Text: John 3:1-17 INI Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Trinity Sunday is all about the specifics. So specific, in fact, that we take time to confess the Athanasian Creed. This lengthy statement of belief expresses our limited understanding of God whom cannot be fully explained nor fully comprehended. The greatest mystery known to man is this: God in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity. While all three Creeds of the Christian Church leave no question unanswered about the identity and work of God, the Athanasian Creed probes into descriptive detail of God as He has graciously revealed Himself to us. God- the Father Creator, God- the Son Redeemer, and God- the Holy Spirit Sanctifier, yet they are not 3 but 1 God. This mystery is profound! So our Lord teaches Nicodemus, and us this morning, that the only way to know God is to know Jesus. In Jesus Christ, you see and know God the Father and are given access into the Kingdom of heaven by the Spirit. No one has ever seen God, but the Son, who is Himself God, who is at the Father’s side has made Him known (John 1:18). No one can know God unless a sinner comes to the Son by the Spirit who works through the water and the Word. The idolatrous sinful world would have other ways to see and know God.

  • Trinity Sunday
    Trinity Sunday Matthew 28:16-20 16 The eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. 17 When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated. 18 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go, therefore, make disciples of all the nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.' Other readings: Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40 Psalm 32 (33)Romans 8:14-17 The Gospel of Matthew ends with this passage. This is the commission which the Risen Jesus gives to his disciples. In it there is reference to baptism 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the fruit of a long process of learning and understanding as the revelation of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is received by human minds and put into human words. In Old Testament times, as our reading from the Book of Deuteronomy indicates, the people were aware that God was close to them, protected them and gave them the law. Unlike the gods of the nations, the God of Moses became involved with the people and was concerned for them. The books of the Old Testament also witness to a growing awareness of the Spirit of God.

  • Summer and Autumn
    ORDINARY TIME - Summer and Autumn The 2nd period of Ordinary Time begins on the Monday after Pentecost & ends the Saturday before the 1st Sunday of Advent. It is the longest season of the liturgical calendar & its color is green. Several Sundays bear the name of feasts or solemnities. The focus is on various aspects of the faith, especially the mission of the church in the world. 1st SUNDAY TRINITY SUNDAY: Trinity Sunday falls one week after Pentecost Sunday, and it of 2nd OT is the day that the Catholic Church has set aside to honor the most fundamental of Christian beliefs—the Holy Trinity. Traditionally, the Athanasian Creed was recited in Masses on Trinity Sunday. 2nd SUNDAY FEAST of CORPUS CHRISTI: The Feast of Corpus Christi, or the Feast of the of 2nd OT Body and Blood of Christ (as it is often called today), goes back to the 13th century, but it celebrates something far older: the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion at the Last Supper. Many parishes have a procession on this day. 19 Days FEAST of the SACRED HEART of Jesus: The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents not after simply His physical heart but His love for all mankind. Pentecost The Feast is celebrated on this day as a result of a vision which took place on June 16, 1675, during the octave of the Feast of Corpus Christi. In that vision, Christ asked St. Margaret Mary to request that the Feast of the Sacred Heart be celebrated on the Friday after the octave (or eighth day) of the Feast of Corpus Christi, in reparation for the ingratitude of men for the sacrifice that Christ had made for them.

  • A Heads up for Trinity Sunday
    A Heads Up for Trinity Sunday Colleagues, Just as I was about to post something else for this week’s ThTh offering, Jerry Burce, pastor at Messiah Lutheran Church, Fairview Heights, Ohio, sends me this item of Trinitarian theology. Even though Trinity Sunday is ten days away, this seemed too good to postpone past Pentecost. So here you have it. Peace and Joy! Ed Schroeder Ed, ThTheol 574 was last year’s June 11 posting of Luther snippets on the Trini ty. It either inspired or dovetailed with the Trinity Sunday preaching I did last year, and the week after I started an email to you about that, but didn’t quite finish it. Ran across it this morning, and it occurred me to finish it up now and send it along. Could be that you’re casting around right now for Trinity-related material-it’s that time again (so soon, so soon). If so, and if this helps the cause, feel free to use it. Jerry From Thursday Theology 574, June 11, 2009- And then finally this one from Luther’s Large Catechism, which gave me my first clue that the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is a proposal for “how to talk about God and have it come out sheer Gospel.” Book of Concord (Tappert edition p.419:63-65) “In these three articles God himself has revealed and opened to us the most profound depths of his fatherly heart, his sheer, unutterable love. He created us for this very purpose, to redeem and sanctify us. Moreover, having bestowed upon us everything in heaven and on earth, he has given us his Son and his Holy Spirit, through whom he brings us to himself.

Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, "The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
