Trinity Sunday — Holy Eucharist (Said in the Muriel Moore Chapel)
We will gather for the Holy Eucharist at 9 am in the Muriel Moore chapel on Trinity Sunday.
Feast that celebrates “the one and equal glory” of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being” (BCP, p 380). It is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is one of the seven principal feasts of the church year (BCP, p 15). Celebration of Trinity Sunday was approved for the western church by Pope John XXII in 1334. This feast is associated with Thomas Becket (c.1118-1170), who was consecrated bishop on Trinity Sunday, 1162. His martyrdom may have influenced the popularity of the feast in England and the custom of naming the remaining Sundays of the church year “Sundays after Trinity.” The Sarum Missal and editions of the Prayer Book through the 1928 BCP named these Sundays the Sundays after Trinity. The 1979 BCP identifies this portion of the church year as the season after Pentecost, and names these Sundays the Sundays after Pentecost (see BCP, p 32).
All are welcome as we gather together at 9:00 am in our beloved church to celebrate Trinity Sunday.

Commissioned by Mark Bozzuti-Jones. “I started painting icons in 2011 while I was a member of the Common Friars from 2009-2013. Our collective work was about being more connected: to ourselves, each other, our surrounding community and the land. This manifested itself as a place called “The Good Earth Farm” where we held weekly services and meals, and grew produce for our community and local food pantries. Iconography has since become a practice of more considerations: of color and light, of brush stroke and form, symbol and meaning…However, I do not wish to approach Iconography as an art form that simply follows an inherited tradition, knowledge and practice. I want it to be a creative process, meditation, and practice that brings about new self knowledge for the viewer and myself. Who are the saints that are among us here and now? I was not taught by a traditional Iconographer, and so to some, I am breaking many rules. There are icons here that people may find theologically unsound and wrong, or for others, helpful and inspiring. I think both reactions are important. My hope is that these icons do what all art can potentially do, which is, to create more dialogue. The other may have something to teach us about what we know, about who God is, the world we live in and who are our neighbors. This is the real work of being human and of art. Being more present.” [from: https://kellylatimoreicons.com/about-2/ ] Permalink: https://diglib.library.vanderbilt.edu/act-imagelink.pl?RC=57123 (Use this link to refer back to this image.)
