Service of Worship Trinity Sunday May 26, 2013 Eleven o’clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God Icon of the Trinity, by Andrei Rublev, c. 1410. Trinity Sunday is the first of the many Sundays of ordinary time that follows Pentecost and eventually leads up to Advent. Today we celebrate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity—God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We celebrate the holiness of the triune God and seek to know how that holiness should take shape among the people of God. At the close of today’s service, the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated in the Memorial Chapel, located to the left of the chancel. Immediately following the Lord’s Supper, a Service of Healing will be held in the Memorial Chapel. The service consists of prayers for healing and wholeness, with anointing and laying on of hands. All are invited. The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation. GATHERING BRASS PRELUDE Suite for Five Trumpets Ronald Lo Presti I.
