Redeemer Lutheran and St. Theodore

On Sunday, May 26, the congregations of Redeemer Lutheran Church and St. Theodore of Canterbury Episcopal Church will celebrate Holy Trinity Sunday with Rev. Murray D. Finck presiding. His sermon is titled “Stewards of the Mysteries.” The Communion and worship service gathers on Sundays at 13564 St. Andrews Drive at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome.

The lesson and prayer leader this week will be Carol Costello and the finance team is Wendy Alfageme and Sylvia Makus.

The congregations continue to collect donations of canned and boxed foods for the hungry. During the coffee fellowship, the congregations will celebrate May birthdays.

The Bible study continues on May 29 at noon in the Fellowship Hall. The study focuses on 10 of Jesus’ miracles in a study book. People are asked to bring a Bible, a friend and lunch.

This Sunday is the celebration of The Holy Trinity Sunday and the Gospel lesson is from John 3:1-17.

The Trinity is one of those great and simple mysteries of faith, like the Eucharist, that cannot be explained or proved. There is one God, and there are three persons in God. Each individually God, and all together God. But not three gods.

According to legend, St. Patrick used a shamrock to explain about God. St. Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity, that in the one God there are three divine beings: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
