+OPENING PRAYER
Holy God, like Isaiah the prophet, we stand in awe of Your glory,
feeling tremendously small and polluted by our sin, and the sin of our
society. Even so, You touch us with Your burning presence, and we are
made clean and whole. Continue to build this household of faith into
what You want us to be. Lead us to do as You will. Blessed Trinity, fill
this place and these people with Your presence. For yours is the power,
and the Salvation, and the Creation, now and always. Amen.

On the church calendar, May 31 is Trinity Sunday and Peace with
Justice Sunday. Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost and honors the Holy
Trinity—the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. On Peace with Justice Sunday, the United
Methodist Church asks members of God’s family to think compassionately, pray
wholeheartedly and share with open hands. Gifts on this Special Sunday help amplify
voices crying for peace and justice around the world.
