The Liturgy of the Word The Collect for Trinity Sunday Presider: God be with you. People: And also with you. Presider: Let us pray. Presider: Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The People are seated.
The First Lesson
Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31
A Reading from the book of Proverbs Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: “To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth—when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and 4
delighting in the human race.” Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. All:
Thanks be to God.
A period of silence for reflection.
Psalm 8 Congregation Antiphon: “O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!” Choir verses: 1. When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place—What is man that you should be mindful of him, or the son of man that you should care for him? ANTIPHON 2. You have made him little less than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him rule over the works of your hands, putting all things under his feet: ANTIPHON 3. All sheep and oxen, yes, the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas. ANTIPHON The Second Lesson
Romans 5:1-5
A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church. All:
Thanks be to God.
A period of silence for reflection.

Gradual Hymn
“Come Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove” (vss. 1-2)
The Holy Gospel
Hymnal 510
John 16:12-15
Presider: The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to John. People: Glory to you, O Christ. Jesus said to his disciples, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” Presider: The Gospel of our Savior. People: Praise to you, O Christ. Gradual Hymn Sermon The People rise.

The Affirmation of Faith (NZPB) All stand.
You, O God, are supreme and holy. You create our world and give us life. Your purpose overarches everything we do. You have always been with us. You are God. You, O God, are infinitely generous, good beyond all measure. You came to us before we came to you. You have revealed and proved your love for us in Jesus Christ, who lived and died and rose again. You are with us now. You are God. You, O God, are Holy Spirit. You empower us to be your gospel in the world. You reconcile and heal; you overcome death. You are our God. We worship you.
Prayers of the People All stand.
Let us pray for the Church and for the world. Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth, live together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world. Silence
Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer. Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good. Silence
Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer. Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory. Silence

Lord, in your mercy Hear our prayer. For yours is the majesty, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and for ever. Amen. Presider: Heavenly Creator, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of Jesus: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen The Peace Presider: The Peace of the Lord be always with you. People: And also with you. Then the Ministers and the People may greet one another in the name of the Lord.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee: Holy, holy holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity. Holy, holy holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shall be. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy Name, in earth and sky, and sea: Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three Persons, blessed Trinity. Hallelujah! Blessed Trinity!

Eucharistic Prayer 3
The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.
The Presider continues:
All thanks and praise are yours at all times and in all places, our true and loving God; through Jesus Christ, your eternal Word, the Wisdom from on high by whom you created all things. You laid the foundations of the world and enclosed the sea when it burst out from the womb; You brought forth all creatures of the earth and gave breath to humankind. Wondrous are you, Holy One of Blessing, all you create is a sign of hope for our journey; And so as the morning stars sing your praises we join the heavenly beings and all creation as we shout with joy: Sanctus (S-131)

Gerald Near The people stand or kneel. The Presider continues
Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you called a people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you gave Jesus to be human, to share our life, to proclaim the coming of your holy reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering. Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us. We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, gave it to his friends and said: “Take, eat, this is my Body, broken for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said: “Drink this, all of you: this cup is the new Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.” And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ: Presider and People
Dying, you destroyed our death. Rising, you restored our life. Christ Jesus, come in glory! The Presider continues
Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts of bread and wine that they may be to us the Body and Blood of your Christ. Grant that we, burning with your Spirit’s power, may be a people of hope, justice and love. Giver of Life, draw us together in the Body of Christ, and in the fullness of time gather us with all your people into the joy of our true eternal home. Presider and People
Blessed are you now and for ever. AMEN.

The Lord’s Prayer Presider: And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father and Mother, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Fraction (S-155)

Light One Candle for a Weary World Evening Taizé at Trinity†St. Peter’s: Wednesdays at 7:30 pm We live in a world where sensory overload has become the norm. Stress and worries follow us even into the solitary refuges of our minds. Suffering and brutality, the signs of a spiritual ‘climate change,’ show no signs of abating and we begin to feel that there is nothing we can do. We come together and raise our individual prayers and intentions. Gathered together we lift to God’s presence, in the quiet of our hearts, all that is in need of healing in the world, in our community, in ourselves. Gentle music and candlelight prepare the way for our prayers and meditation. Experience Taizé. Change the world one prayer at a time.

Trinity Malcolm Guite Beginning here we glimpse the Three-in-one; The river runs, the clouds are torn apart, The Father speaks, the Sprit and the Son Reveal to us the single loving heart That beats behind the being of all things And calls and keeps and kindles us to light. The dove descends, the spirit soars and sings ‘You are belovèd, you are my delight!’ In that quick light and life, as water spills And streams around the Man like quickening rain, The voice that made the universe reveals The God in Man who makes it new again. He calls us too, to step into that river To die and rise and live and love forever.
