MORSEL FOR MEDITATION

In the Beginning, not in time or space,

But in the quick before both space and time,

In Life, in Love, in co-inherent Grace,

In three in one and one in three, in rhyme,

In music, in the whole creation story,

In His own image, His imagination,

The Triune Poet makes us for His glory,

And makes us each the other’s inspiration.

He calls us out of darkness, chaos, chance,

To improvise a music of our own,

To sing the chord that calls us to the dance,

Three notes resounding from a single tone,

To sing the End in whom we all begin;

Our God beyond, beside us and within.

               “Trinity Sunday,” by Malcolm Guite

AROUND THE DIOCESE






  • YOUTH - Prepare for What Lies Ahead: Deacon Katie Gerber - Before departing from this world, Jesus spent several hours on the night before his death talking with his disciples in an effort to prepare them for what lies ahead of them. Formally, this conversation is called “The Farewell Discourse.” I prefer calling this encounter a pre-crucifixion pep-talk with the 12.


Youth Camp: Session 1: June 9-15 (rising 3rd - 12 grades); Session 2: June 16-22 (rising 3rd-12th) Session 3: June 23-29 teen week (rising 8th-12)
