ART EXHIBIT AT TRINITYStations of the Cosmic ChristMany churches have representations on their walls called the “Stations of the Cross”, and walking the stations can be a bit like taking a mini-pilgrimage. From now until August 11, Trinity will be hosting an art exhibit that offers such an experience. This exhibit honors the common ground of people of diverse faiths and no faith; it empowers one to contribute to an ecological revolution by rediscovering all beings as sacred. Albert Einstein insisted that the human race needs to embrace a “cosmic religion” if we are to survive. Visit the exhibit in the sanctuary to learn more!

about pledging

Our vision of Stewardship recognizes that God is the giver and has blessed each one of us with many gifts. Common to us all is the privilege and blessing of how we use the precious gifts of our time, talent and treasure. Stewardship is the spiritual practice of discerning the use of these gifts in building God’s dream of love and justice in our hearts, relationships and world. At Trinity we call your gift of time and talent Shared Ministry and we call your gift of treasure a pledge. Pledge forms are available at the Welcome Table.

OFFERTORY TEXT & TRANSLATIONSi la voix d’un enfant peut monter jusqu’à Vous,Ô mon Père,Écoutez de Jésus, devant Vous à genoux,La prière!Si Vous m’avez choisi pour enseigner vos loisSur la terre,Je saurai Vous servir, auguste Roi des rois,Ô Lumière!Sur mes lèvres, Seigneur, mettez la véritéSalutaire,Pour que celui qui doute, avec humilitéVous révère!Ne m’abandonnez pas, donnez-moi la douceurNécessaire,Pour apaiser les maux, soulager la douleur,La misère!Révélez Vous à moi, Seigneur en qui je croisEt j’espère:Pour Vous je veux souffrir et mourir sur la croix,Au calvaire!

If the voice of a child could reach up to you,O my Father,To be heard by Jesus... kneeling before You,A prayer!If you have chosen me to teach your lawsOn Earth,I would know how to serve you, noble King of kings,O Light!On my lips, Lord, place the salutary Truth,So that those who doubt, with humility willrevere you!Do not abandon me, but give me the Grace necessary to overcome evils, and to relieve painand misery!Reveal yourself to me, Lord in whom I believeand hope!For You I want to suffer and die on the Cross,on Calvary! - poem by Stéphan Bordèse (1847-1919)

COMMUNION TEXT FOR CHILCOTTBe thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, be all else but naught to me, save that thou art; be thou my best thought in the day and the night, both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word, be thou ever with me, and I with thee Lord; be thou my great Father, and I thy true son; be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.Be thou and thou only the first in my heart,O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art;Great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,Still be thou my vision, O ruler of all.

- Early Irish prayer (6th century) Rop tú mo baile transl. Mary Byrne (1880-1931)versified Eleanor Hull (1860-1935)

PSALM 49:1-11

Hear this, all you peoples;hearken, all you who dwell in the world, you of high degree and low, rich and poor together.My mouth shall speak of wisdom, and my heart shall meditate on understanding.I will incline my ear to a proverb and set forth my riddle upon the harp.Why should I be afraid in evil days, when the wickedness of those at my heels surrounds me,The wickedness of those who put their trust in their goods, and boast of their great riches?We can never ransom ourselves, or deliver to God the price of our life;For the ransom of our life is so great, that we should never have enough to pay it,In order to live for ever and ever, and never see the grave.For we see that the wise die also;like the dull and stupid they perish and leave their wealth to those who come after them.Their graves shall be their homes for ever, their dwelling places from generation to generation, though they call the lands after their own names.Even though honored, they cannot live for ever; they are like the beasts that perish.
