Third Quarter Mission- The Piedmont
Women’s Center
Each
quarter of the year, All Saints has committed to come alongside a particular
ministry in town to pray for them and to support their work. Our second quarter
mission for 2025 is the Piedmont Woman’s Center.
The goal of the Piedmont Woman’s Center is to
assist and encourage women who are pregnant not to seek an abortion but to have
their baby. Their services include: providing free laboratory quality pregnancy
testing, free pregnancy consultations, and free Limited OB ultrasounds at three
locations in the Upstate region. You can learn more here: LINK
You
can support this important work through (a) monetary donations (remember to
place “2nd Quarter Mission” or Piedmont Women’s Center” on the FOR
line of your check); or (b) you can also donate items that the center needs to
help these young mothers. There is a list of needed items on the mission table
in the parish hall.
Trinity
Sunday- What and Why
Trinity
Sunday is the Sunday set apart for us to celebrate and renew our focus that the
God we worship is one God and three persons.
However, please note: Trinity is not a one and
done celebration. We do not just give a nod and wink to the Trinity once a
year. Instead, our celebration is an octave (8 days). That is, we celebrate it
for two Sundays. In other words, the wisdom of our fathers bids us to stop,
ponder, and reflect upon the centrality of the Trinity. But that is not all.
Like almost every other major celebration of the Church calendar, Trinity is
followed by an entire season where we look at the significance and relevance of
the object of or celebration from many different angles and contexts.
What I want you to notice is the important role
that Trinity Sunday plays in the Liturgical Calendar. Notice then where we are
liturgically:
Liturgically speaking Trinity Sunday is a
Transition Sunday. That is, Trinity Sunday provides the essential theological
link in the Liturgical calendar between all that has come before and everything
that follows after. How?
First, Trinity Sunday is the culmination of all
that we have celebrated thus far. That is, it looks back on the whole of
salvation and reminds us that the salvation we have celebrated from Advent to
Pentecost is the work of the entire Trinity. Importance: the message of
Scripture is that God saves. It is not that God starts salvation and then
leaves you to work out the rest. Rather, the message of Scripture is that what
God has begun in you He will not fail to complete. In other words, the whole of
your life and salvation rests in the hands of the Triune God.
At the same time, Trinity Sunday looks forward
to the Trinity season and prepares us to see the unfolding of the Salvation God
has given us and our roll as witnesses to the one true living God and the new
life He has accomplished for us.
