Trinity Sunday

Wishing you a safe and blessed Sunday

Holy, holy, holy God;

Holy and Strong one,

Holy and Mighty one,

Holy Three, Holy One,

Be with us now and evermore. 

Amen

Holy Father, you have created all things

And made us in your own image.

We rejoice in the beauty of your creation.

We come before you in wonder and awe.

We seek to be sensitive to your mysteries.

We pray for the places where your earth is exploited or marred,

Where your creatures are abused or misused.

We pray for all who lack freedom or are oppressed.

Holy God, Three in One, hear our prayer.

Christ in glory, risen and ascended,

You have redeemed us by your love,

You give us life which is eternal.

We pray to you for all who walk in darkness,

All who cry out in pain, all who feel beyond hope.

We remember all who are rejected and are outcasts in this world.

Holy God, Three in One, hear our prayer.

Spirit of God breathing life into all,

We give you thanks for our talents and abilities,

For the powers of renewal and refreshment.

We pray that we and all your church may reach out in love.

We pray for the ministry of all your faithful people,

And we pray for the outreach and mission of your church.

Holy God, Three in One, hear our prayer.

Holy, blessed and glorious Trinity,

One in three, three in one,

Bind us together in unity,

Bind us together in love.

Bind us together with loved ones departed.

Bind us together with your saints in glory.

Holy God, Three in One, hear our prayer.

Amen

Our Bible readings for this week:

2 Corinthians 13: 11-13

Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

 Matthew 28: 16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless.  Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

Blessing

The goodness of the Creator,

The grace of the Saviour,

And the guidance of the Holy Spirit

Be with us and within us, always.

God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, give us his grace, now and forever.

Amen
