The Sentence
Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? ‘The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago.’ Proverbs 8.1, 22
Reflection by The Reverend Rob Sutherland CSC
Trinity Sunday 15 June 2025
Dear Friends,
Winter has certainly arrived! I enjoyed looking at the snow photos from down south as I thanked God for calling me to live in South Queensland.
Trinity Sunday is an opportunity that we in the church don’t take often enough; this Sunday we ask the question, ‘Who is God?’ Who is the God who calls ‘god-self’ Father, Son and Holy Spirit? And what does this mean for us as we relate to God? People in the world around us have already made up an answer for themselves or just ignored this question; we will look at God’ answer.
Although we talk of God being a Trinity and speak of Father, Son and Holy Spirit in our prayer book; for most of the time in our readings and sermons we focus on one or other of the three persons of God; most of us have a favourite person or element of God we relate to. This Sunday we will look at how the ‘Three Persons’ of God say they all relate to each other and relate to us.
Hmm, no pressure on the preacher for this Sunday; perhaps the children’s talk will give us the clearest picture!
A new Men’s Group is announced in our Notices. This group, with John Gavranich as lynchpin, has grown too large to meet at The Reserve and now plans to meet in our hall once a month. We have a core of about 6 including Rob Nolan. Our focus is generally ‘life after grief and loss’ but we frequently wander off-topic, and the common themes appear to be coffee and fellowship. Others are welcome and John Gavranich or I can provide more information.
We have room for more such groups and Pentecost reminded us that we are to continue the work we saw Jesus do providing God’s eternal hope to those around us. As I close, the impact of the Air India plane disaster is becoming apparent. Please pray for the families of all involved in many countries as they mourn and grieve.
May the love and hope and peace and joy of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be yours,
