Occurring the first Sunday after Pentecost, Trinity Sunday celebrates the work of the Trinity and focuses on its mystery, power, and beauty. On Pentecost Sunday, we witness the Holy Spirit. On Trinity Sunday, we are reminded that the Trinity—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—were all present from the beginning of scripture and continue to be present.
Whether or not you mark this coming Sunday as Trinity Sunday in your church, given the significance of the Trinity to our Christian faith it ought to receive attention in our worship. Here is a beginning list of songs to consider for use with such a service as well as an outline for the beginning of worship.
While I was planning our Trinity Sunday worship service, I was inspired by my study of 2 Corinthians 13:11–13. In verse 11, the word that is often translated “be perfected” or “put things in order” is the same word used in the gospels to describe the mending of fishing nets. In this prayer, the joys and concerns of the congregation are lifted up to the triune God, who is the mender of our nets and our lives. This idea became a theme for this prayer.
