(ESV)\n\n        The Church Year or Liturgical Year is split in half.  For\n   six months the Church looks at the work of Jesus Christ as He was\n   born, was revealed as true God, as He suffered, died, and rose\n   again from the dead.  Now begins the ``Church half'' of the year\n   were we seek to learn what it means to be Christian, to respond\n   to God's rich grace and mercy as shown in His Son.\n\n        Yesterday, Trinity Sunday, is unique in that it is the only\n   Sunday in the Church year that does not specifically examine an\n   historical event in the life of Jesus.  Rather, we celebrate the\n   great mystery of faith, asking the question, ``Who is the God in\n   whom we trust?''  The answer is incomprehensible to our human\n   logic and reason, for we worship One God, yet Three Persons.\n\n        As one devotional resource, ``Treasury of Daily Prayer,''\n   reminds us:\n        Certainly the essence of God is beyond our weak\n        comprehension, but He has graciously revealed Himself\n        to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.&#91;1]\n\n\n        This week we will look at the Trinity as we seek to know the\n   basic teaching of the Christian Church.\n\n        May our Lord, the Triune God, bless you and keep you as we\n   seek to know more about His grace and mercy.  Amen.\n\n   ____________________\n\n   1. Kinnaman,  S.  A., ed. (2008).  Treasury of daily prayer.
