Text Box: BULLETIN CONENCTION

We celebrate the feast of the Holy Trinity today.  God is revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three divine Persons in one unity.  While the mystery of the Trinity may be difficult to comprehend, the love of God is not.  As our reading from Deuteronomy describes today, God acts on behalf of God’s people - maybe not always in the way we expect or would like.

The story of salvation history as recorded in the Bible is the story of God’s interaction with humankind.  So great was God’s love, that the Son of God was sent among us for the salvation of the world.  Today, in a special way, we celebrate the goodness of God, God who loves us more than we could hope for or imagine.
