1 JUNE 9, 2017 THE TRIUNE GOD WORKS OUR SALVATION The First Sunday after Pentecost - Holy Trinity Thought for Worship Today the Church celebrates Trinity Sunday. It is a day to bask in the wonder of knowing the triune God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - who has been revealed to us in the Scriptures. While we o en think about the three persons of the Trinity having their own areas of exper se (the Father creates, the Son redeems, the Spirit sanc fies), the Readings for today focus on how the three persons of the Trinity work together in every task. In the Old Testament Reading from Genesis, we see all three persons are present and ac ve in the crea on of the world. And in the Holy Gospel from Ma hew, we see that all three persons are ac ve in the new life we have as baptized children of God. First Lesson: Genesis 1:1-2:3 Second Lesson: 2 Corinthians 13:11-14 Gospel Lesson: Matthew 28:16-20 WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS IN JUNE!
