All welcome, Sundays at 10.30am

In the Church of England, Trinity Sunday and the subsequent Trinity Season form a core part of the liturgical year.

Trinity Sunday ( the first Sunday after Pentecost) celebrates the Christian doctrine of God: one God in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

There follows a long period of “Ordinary Time” that extends until Advent.

“Ordinary Time” gets its name from ordinal numbers (first, second, third, etc). It refers to the periods in the church calendar where the Sundays are simply counted in sequential order rather than tied to a major festival season like Christmas or Easter.

While the earlier half of the church year focuses on the historical life and actions of Jesus, Trinity time focuses on our ongoing, day-to-day spiritual growth, learning to apply Jesus’ teachings and deepening our everyday relationship with God.

Throughout this long stretch, priests wear green vestments symbolizing growth, life, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father,

who breathed this world into being,

who is discernible within

the harmony of nature,

the perfection of a butterfly's wing,

the grandeur of a mountain range,

the soaring eagle and humming bird,

thank you for this world

which you have created.

Thank you for summer sun,

which reminds us that your creative breath

is still alive and active.

Thank you for the warmth of your love,

sustaining this world,

your garden

Amen
