FROM THE DESK OF THE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE Dear Friends in Christ,
This coming Sunday is the feast of the Holy Trinity. It follows the Pentecost and reminds us that God has revealed Himself in three ways. Sometimes these different ways are referred to as "persons." A familiar hymn has the words, "God in three persons, blessed trinity."
The three persons of the One God are:
God the Father Creator of heaven and earth God the Son Redeemer of the world God the Holy Spirit who makes us Holy
We as people have different personal traits and functions. For example I am a man, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a brother. The list is almost endless. The point is that it is still me. St. Patrick uses the image of a three leaf clover to describe the relationship of God's persons. How do you envision this idea of the Trinity?
Peace,
GJK
P. S. I wanted to say thank you to the Pentecost picnic organizers and the music crew for a wonderful day at Glasgow Park this past Sunday. Don’t forget, this Sunday is Good Shepherd’s annual meeting immediately after the worship service. A final note, please keep the vestry in your prayers on Saturday, June 25 as they hold their annual retreat.
