Football, not church!

Trinity Sunday, & we didn’t quite make it to church. Got to see Adelaide double Melbourne’s score down at Footy Park. The Trinity might have been Brett Burton, Nathan Bock & Kurt Tippett!

We missed hearing some great readings of course:
‘In the beginning …’ (Genesis 1), ‘O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world’ (Psalm 8), & the end of 2nd Corinthians – ‘The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ …’. And the last verses of the gospel according to St Matthew, which include both the commissioning words (‘Go then to all peoples everywhere & make them my disciples …’) & the comment that ‘some doubted’. Just like some of us do!
Trinity songs have been staple diet for the church for a long time, but they don’t appear much in modern songbooks. Why? Maybe it seems too much like an intellectual exercise. But kept in proportion, it can make the life of faith a whole lot richer. It can set us on the road to seeing God in so many different ways & places.
How shall I call you? Maker of heaven … lover of children …spirit of comfort … master & servant … Glory to the Father, the Son & the Spirit, forever & ever. Amen.
