HOLY TRINITY
June 4, 2023
AS WE GATHER
Each time we are gathered to worship we recall the One who unites us—God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—the Holy Trinity. With joy we celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity, our gracious God who claims us as His own in Holy Baptism, forms us into a community of faith, and sends us forth to give witness to the same. Our worship today begins with the same words that began our life in Baptism: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!
