When we think of the creation story, we often have images like the one above in our minds - animals frolicking in an Eden-esque setting. But our reading from Proverbs introduces us to some of the more mystical images of the creation. In this reading, Wisdom existed alongside God as the creation took shape. We don't talk about Wisdom as a character in the Bible too often -- and some equate Wisdom with the Holy Spirit... Then in John, we're reminded of the oneness of the Trinity -- so if God was the mover of creation, so too were the Spirit and the Christ. On Trinity Sunday, it's good to think about the wonder of all of this.
As we go into summer, we hope you take some time to delight in the creation around you. On Sunday, please join us so we can reflect on this together. And please stay afterwards for some refreshments and conversation.
