Can
you think of a better hymn for Trinity Sunday? Neither can I. The only question
is whether to use it for the Gathering, Hymn of the Day, or Sending. It works
in all three places!

According
to Paul Westermeyer, perichoresis is a word used by theologians to describe
“the interdependence of unity and Trinity.”
He says that “dance around” is a literal translation of the word.
How can that be expressed through dance? I can’t think of a better example than the Virginia Reel. (See it danced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnLEnf-6S_U) Each dancer is independent, yet there is an interweaving and a constant flow of energy - especially in the do-si-do section.

Communion Hymns
Our communion music is cross-cultural this
week. The “Lamb of God” setting comes from
the African-American inspired setting of Holy Communion in ELW.
“Oh, Sing to God” is an entrance hymn for a Spanish setting of Holy Communion by Carlos Rosas, who was born in Mexico but is now a U.S. citizen. Finally, “Many and Great” was written in the Dakota Native American language. The name of the tune is translated “the lake that speaks.”
