On the Trinity Here are a few quotes regarding the Trinity that you may find useful. Sometimes the sim- plest explanations work best! “God for us, God alongside us, God within us.” - Richard Rohr, Franciscan friar and RC priest “God needs to be a Trinity in order to be love. For love requires three things: 1) a lover 2) a beloved 3) a relationship between them.” "God is one being who consists of three per- sons" is no more contradictory than saying that "There's one triangle that consists of three corners” - Evan Minton, a young Christian apologist "Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God." - John Wesley, founder of Methodism Many Thanks… And Moving Coffee Hour Downstairs This Sunday A big “Thank You!” to Wayne and Maria Szal- ma for clearing out the Parish Hall and the kitchen so that 6 applications of wax could be applied to the floor. This project has taken the whole week just so it could be done right with proper time for “curing” the wax. So we’re going downstairs to the All-Purpose Room for Coffee Hour today. We wanted to move it outside, but it appears that we’re look- ing forward to a lot of rain, so we’re downstairs instead. This only has to happen every 6-7 years! Worshipping With Us Episcopal worship is parcipatory. We stand, we kneel, we respond vocally during parts of the service, somemes with singing! Please join in at your level of comfort. If you’d like to learn more about what we as Episcopalians believe and do, or if you have any quesons, please fill out one of the yellow cards in the pew and give it to Mother Susan or one of our ushers. We hope you feel welcome here and that you will come back oſten to feed your faith. A Word About Receiving Communion in the Episcopal Church All are invited to the Altar to receive. If you would like a blessing, just cross your arms over your chest. If you decide to receive only the bread, extend your hand for the wafer and cross your arms over your chest to de- cline the wine. For the wine or grape juice you may guide the chalice to your lips by placing your hand gently on the chalice’s base and guiding it. Or you can dip your host (wafer) into the wine. Or you can give the host to the Lay Eucharisc Minister, who will dip the host into the wine and place it in your mouth. MOWING SCHEDULE Spring is here!
