June 7, 2020 Trinity Sunday. This Is Good. Genesis 1: 1 - 2:4a
In this,the first creation story of our scripture, the first words are often translated "in the beginning..." A better translation would be "in a beginning...." From the very first words of our holy book, we receive a reminder that we always have the chance to try again.
One of the most enduring and astonishing promises of our faith is that we are made in God's image. If that is so , we are also creators. and, if the scripture to be believed, then we have the chance to begin and begin, over and over again.
Use (the space below) to be creative. Draw a picture of something you can see right now. Compose the first verse of a new hymn. Write a love letter. Design the most sacred and welcoming worship space you can imagine. Create a new recipe or write an old one for someone in another generation. Pray using shapes, colors, or words.
As you create, avoid the temptation to criticize your creation. allow yourself to appreciate is as God., in whose image you are made, loved the world being made and call it good.
