Trinity Sunday
Last Sunday, we had a great celebration of Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the birth of the Church. The Church looked amazing, decorated with red flowers and party decorations including balloons and lights (and fire!).
This Sunday we celebrate Trinity Sunday. The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the central Christian affirmations about God, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead - one God existing in three coeternal, consubstantial divine persons.
Then on Thursday at 6pm we will celebrate the Thanksgiving for Holy Communion (Corpus Christi). This is a celebration of the institution of the Holy Eucharist by Jesus on the night that he was betrayed and arrested. With the Maundy Thursday service emphasizing the Passion of Jesus, eventually an extra day of celebration was initiated to focus on the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
I would also encourage you to attend the celebration of the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea which will be held in the Transitional Cathedral at 5pm this Sunday evening. The First Council of Nicaea (325 AD) was called to unite the church as it wrestled with diversions from orthodoxy. This resulted in the development of the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed affirms the central belief about the Trinity, the nature of Jesus Christ and the Church. Appropriately we will recite this creed, our affirmation of faith in our worship this Sunday.
God Bless you
