The Togetherness of Trinity Sunday

There are some Sundays that just seem to more rich in terms of worship and experience then others. Today was one of those Sundays. Perhaps it was the music, or the sermon, or Communion, or breaking away from the monotony of the past week, or even forgetting, if even just for a few hours, the events of the week upcoming. In my life the week upcoming is going to be very hectic as I will again be on the road over the next weekend and there are many things to do before then. Perhaps it was getting lost in the big, open space of the sanctuary of Salem Covenant Church while listening to the music. Perhaps it had something to do with how full the service was in terms of "ordo" of worship, that is the order of the worship service. Whatever it was after coming home from church the experience continued and still does at this writing.

Now don't get me wrong there is definitely more to worship and its experiences then I listed above. Worship was just good.

Today, the choir had a unique opportunity as the choir from Bemidji Covenant Church came and sang with us. Two united choirs that exist, for the same reason--to glorify God, singing together. What an experience it was. Their director got to direct us (Salem) and our assistant director got to direct them (Bemidji). I knew that my mom had relatives in this church and I had met them 10 years ago on a trip to North Dakota. I was not sure if they were in the choir, but after the first service we connected and my mom got to see a cousin that she had not seen in a while. So, perhaps in the end it was just being together as one. Many families coming to church, 2 choirs singing together, family reunions, contemplating the 3 in 1 nature of God, and God being with the whole church, choirs, families, and friends on this Trinity Sunday; as God is present on every Sunday and yes even every day with us.
