About Trinity Sunday & The Holy Eucharist

• On the First Sunday after Pentecost the Church observes Trinity Sunday, a feast to celebrate God’s revelation of himself to us as the Trinity.  The feast is a favorite for many members of the Church, especially because of the wonderful hymns associated with this observance.  The feast seems to have arisen in Spain and France in the seventh and eighth centuries as a result of controversies concerning the nature of God.  The observance did not become universal in the Western Church until 1334. 

• The Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, 1979, are the regular services appointed for public worship in the Episcopal Church. At Christ Church we celebrate the Holy Eucharist every Sunday, and also on Holy Days and other occasions.

• Today’s liturgy is from the red Book of Common Prayer 1979.  All hymns are taken from the blue Hymnal 1982 or other authorized hymnals for use in the Episcopal Church. All hymns are reprinted with permission under OneLicense.net A713125.
