Trinity Sunday: Worship - From The Zucchetto - Stewardship Pearls - Prayers - Events

Trinity Sunday - May 31, 2026

Three sacred images form a triune emblem of divine mystery: the Father’s hand emerges from heaven in blessing, the Holy Spirit descends as a dove with tongues of fire, and the Lamb of God bears the banner of victory. Encircled within a trefoil structure, each element represents a Person of the Holy Trinity—distinct yet united in glory and purpose. The stars, cross, and rays radiating from each section evoke the majesty of creation, redemption, and sanctification. This powerful visual theology invites the faithful into deeper contemplation of God’s unity and presence throughout salvation history. https://www.stainedglassinc.com/window/14449-holy-trinity/

Today’s Stewardship Pearl

Jesus said,

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. People do not light a lamp and put it under a bushel basket; rather, they put it on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that, they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

--Matthew 5:14-16

From Egypt with Love: The Role of a Bishop

My text today is Acts 2 where we see the biblical definition of the Church – the Church as koinonia, “communion.” At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Anglicans, Orthodox, and Protestant churches came together to call the Church back to “full visible communion.” The Missionary movement was at its height. Gathering together in Scotland in 1910, the missionaries agreed that a divided Church hindered missions and was confusing for unbelievers. Yet the world was about to descend into war. In World War I both sides had been Christian, both sides believed they were fighting a new holy war, a new crusade. As a consequence, the last vestiges of Christendom were destroyed in Europe. The Russian Ceasar was assassinated, and the third Rome was conquered by Marxists. The Holy Roman Empire of Austria came to an end. And the British Empire collapsed. Yet into the vacuum left by missionaries leaving African and Asia, the Spirit raised up local leaders. After 1700 years, Christendom was dead, but the global church was born. (continue reading)
