Today is
TRINITY SUNDAY
T
rinity Sunday occurs on the Sunday follow-
ing Pentecost and celebrates the Christian
doctrine of the three “Persons” of God: the Fa-
ther, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The doctrine of the Trinity is foun-
dational to the Christian faith. It is crucial for
properly understanding what God is like, how
he relates to us, and how we should relate to him.
The doctrine of the Trinity means that there is one God who eternally
exists as three distinct Persons — the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Stated differ-
ently, God is one in essence and three in person. These definitions express three
crucial truths: (1) the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons, (2) each
Person is fully God, (3) there is only one God. (https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-is-the-
doctrine-of-the-trinity)
In our UCCP Statement of Faith, we confess/believe in One God: Creator,
Redeemer and Sustainer, who provides order, purpose, meaning and fulfilment to
all creation; that in Jesus Christ, who was born of Mary, God became human and
is Sovereign Lord of Life and history; that in the Holy Spirit God is present in the
world, empowering and guiding believers to understand and live out their faith in
Jesus Christ. (UCCP Statement of Faith)

HYMN STORY “Holy, Holy, Holy”

Reginald Heber, 1783-1826
“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.” (Psalm 95:6, 7)
