Juneteenth is a time to celebrate what has been done to make our world better for all and reminds us to recommit ourselves to the healing work we need to do before we can all truly be free. It also reminds us to attend to the systemic forces that prevent change, keep oppression in place, and distract us with the falsehood that one person’s freedom must be another person’s loss.
Join the Trinity community as we celebrate and bless our high school seniors. In this choral evensong service led by the Trinity Youth Chorus, we will give thanks to God for the gifts young people bring to the community and send our high school seniors out into the world with our prayers and blessings. All are welcome to celebrate with us. Reception to follow.
Trinity Sunday is many things: a day when mystery is front and center, a day when the dynamic unity of Three in One calls us to resist over simplification, and a day for introspection and anticipation.
Many of us, in these times of change, are facing crossroads — trying to make hard decisions about our jobs, our relationships, and even our faith. How can we know which way to turn — which road is the right one?
"Pentecost calls the Church to accept and embrace the high calling we have as Christians." Recalling the evil in the world, seen tragically in recent events in Buffalo, Uvalde, Ukraine, and other places, the Rt. Rev. Andrew ML Dietsche in his sermon on the Day of Pentecost at Trinity Church, calls upon us to renounce evil.
Pentecost is also known as the birthday of the church. It’s not about just Trinity Church, or any church building. It is about all of us — the people who follow in Jesus’s way of peace!
