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.

Weekly Web Feature – Check It Out (www.allsaintsgreenville.com)

Each week, the newsletter will feature a different aspect of our web site for you to try out. It is our hope that this will bring to your attention features that you may not have noticed before and, at the same time, will help familiarize you with the site as a whole. So be sure to check out our Web Feature section in each edition of

This week’s web feature is our All Saints Sermon Page. On the sermon page you will find both the audio and the sermon notes from this past Sunday’s message. The reason that we are featuring the Sermon page as this week’s web feature is that the web version of the sermon includes an extended treatment of the material in the footnotes to the sermon. I invite each of you to take a look at it. (Please note: the extended version applies only to the sermon notes, not the audio). You can find the All Saints Sermon page together with this week’s sermon audio and text here: LINK

~or

To find the Sermon page, go to the All Saints’ Home page (www.allsaintsgreenville.com), locate the tool bar at the top right of the screen and click on the Sermons tab. On the ensuing page, you will find our most recent past sermons, complete with audio, sermon handout, and footnotes. Enjoy!!!

Special- Trinity Weekly Web Feature

In light of the Trinity Octave and the ensuing Trinity Season, we have a Special Trinity web feature, which is the Athanasian Creed. The Athanasian Creed is one of the three great Creeds of the Western Church (along with the Apostles Creed and the Nicaean Creed). Most believe that the Creed was composed sometime in the 6th century. Although it is likely that Athanasius was not its author, the Creed gives wonderful expression to Athanasius’ theology as well as the theology of the great universal councils of the Church. It has two sections: the first deals with the Trinity and the second deals with Christ and the Incarnation. These two sections give one of the most succinct and thorough expressions of the Christian faith and is well worth keeping as a part of your theological resources. 

To find the Athanasian Creed, go to the All Saints’ Home page (https://www.asgville.com/), locate the tool bar at the top right of the screen and click on the Resources button. In the middle column of the ensuing page (under “Faith”), scroll down to “Athanasian Creed” and click on it. Enjoy!!!
