A very warm welcome to all
“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
Trinity Sunday
Readings: Numbers 11: 24-30; Acts 2: 1-21
Gospel: John 20: 19-23
In our Gospel today
This first Sunday after Pentecost is called Trinity Sunday. With the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost the fullness of the Trinity is revealed. Three persons: One God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit – three persons equal in majesty and mutual love.
Trinity has been the human experience of God through God’s own self-revelation. We experience God as Creator, Saviour and Sustainer. The doctrine of the Trinity does not explain God but explains our experience of God. We are invited ever deeper into relationship with this one God who is full of mystery, majesty and love.
