Trinity

Yeah, good afternoon everyone peace be with you.

This week we're thinking about the Holy trinity.

So last week we did work on thinking about Pentecost

and the Holy Spirit on the board.

At the moment, I have given you an image which

represents the three different parts of the holy trinity, pause

this video and see in your class, if you can

remember some of the symbols that we remember from the

trinity and which of the three different parts there are

off you go.

Mm So hopefully you came up with God the father,

the one who cares for us and loves us like

a good father being a creator and sustainer of the

world, which you can see on the right hand side

of the picture there, God the Sun, which is jesus,

the one who was sent to earth as human being

in order to save humanity from itself.

He is both fully God and fully human and an

example of how we can be or how we can

try to be on Earth and then God the Holy

Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit sent down part of

God to guide us and look after us and help

us make those tricky choices as we go through our

lives. We'll learn more about those three parts of the

Holy trinity later in the week in our moly worship.

But right now I want to tell you a story

of a boy who used to live in Lebanon and

he became a great artist.

And I've put on the screen now for you a

couple of his different pictures, a couple of pieces of

artwork. And as I read this story, take a look

at those pictures and see if you can spot some

of the scenes that I described once.

There was a boy who grew up in a country

that was suffering from a terrible war.

Many of his family and friends fought in the war,

sadly some of them died.

He had grown up in a fishing village that before

the war was a wonderful place to be.

He remembered when he was very small, going down to

the harbor each day to watch the small boats come

back from their early morning fishing trips.

Sometimes the nets seemed to be so full of fish

that he was worried the boats would overturn, The fishermen

would tease him and say quickly, come and help us.

We need someone strong and brave.

We can't hold the fish in ourselves and we'll lose

all of the catch if you don't help catching hold

of the rope, he was heaved with the men until

they were safely into the harbor.

He remembered the sights and smells the noise of the

small engines, the slipperiness of the nets, some of them

made by his father's grandfather, but most of all he

remembered the laughter as he grew older.

When the fighting was at its worst.

He would remember those days and run down to the

harbor. Then there weren't the fishermen to go out and

catch the fish.

He would hide an upturned boat which had been abandoned,

and he could still smell the fish, feel the weight

of the nets and hear the distant laughter in his

heart. He could not give up hope.

He prayed to God every day for peace to return

to his country and the village where he lived.

As he crouched under the boat, he could see in

the distance the smoke from the fires in the city

burning as a result of the bomb attacks.

The skies were darkened and heavy, the clouds seemed thick

with sorrow.

As he prayed, he suddenly saw a shaft of light

breaking through the clouds.

The sun pierced the darkness and stretched down and down

to the boats around him.

It looks like a triangle, a bright triangle of light

sending the gloom and horror of the war.

Far, far away as the light reached the harbor, it's

solid, flat base settled on two of the boats, long

silence and tethered.

He remembered now the stories of jesus, how he had

brought hope to the people, people like those in his

village who are suffering in fear and pain.

He knew from that moment he would never give up

hope because God would be with him.

God would be with him in the stories of jesus

making him strong and brave, just like the fishermen from

the village he called him to be.

As he watched the strong triangle of light, the darkness

of war seemed to be easier to bear.

He followed the light back up towards Heaven, sending up

a prayer that the Holy Spirit would show him how

to share these feelings of hope.

He knew what he had to do quickly.

He ran home, his heart beating not with fear of

war, as it had done so many times, but with

excitement of the knowledge he carried.

He took out paper and pencils he drew as if

all depended on it.

He had to recreate on paper the hope he had

felt. Watching the shaft of light in the harbor in

his heart and mind, he saw the strength of the

trinity, a strong and sturdy triangle of hope with God

watching over him, jesus, showing the way and the power

of the Holy Spirit working with him to bring hope

to others.

The war's finally ended in his country.

Many had suffered, but the young artists brought hope to

a desperate fishing village time and time again with his

triangle of light reminding people that God is always with

us, no matter how terrible life may seem.

His art showed that faith and hope to have the

greatest gifts people can share.

And you can see on the board, I'm showing you

now two of his artworks, two of his pictures.

And you can see on the right hand side the

beautiful village with the harbor and the fishing boats looking

really beautiful and lovely.

And on the left hand side you can see another

picture, a picture where the boats no more and the

sky is dark and gray and you can see destruction

and war.

It doesn't look very nice.

But in both of those pictures you can see that

bright triangle of light, that shining light of the sun

coming through the clouds, reminding him of the holy trinity

and reminding him always to have hope and to share

that hope with others.

I want you to think to yourself now and just

reflect about a time when everything seemed dark to you.

What or who helped you through it.

Remember the feelings, you've got experience where things start to

get better and God teaches us through jesus to hold

on to those feelings as long as we can hold

on to those feelings, the feeling of something getting better,

remaining strong and always being hopeful.

And that's what the artist colored Fallout teaches us and

that's hopefully what that story teaches us to now.

We're very excited this afternoon because we have got reverend

Lorraine, reverend Lorraine has come to visit our school and

it's been quite a long time since reverend rain has

been able to come in and see everyone and come

into our school because we've had locked down because we

haven't been out here.

But finally, reverend rain is here to speak with us

and Revenue is going to talk to you now and

she's also going to give a blessing for trinity.

Yeah. Hello everyone, it's like being on the radio, so

if this is all a bit strange for me, it's

lovely to say hello to you all and I can't

tell you how excited I am to be back in

Kendall. I hope you had a lovely day despite the

rain. And I was just thinking as Mr Barrett Rockets

was talking about a service I did recently for some

people from within Kendall who decided that they would like

to get baptized and I baptize them in the name

of the father and of the son and of the

Holy Spirit, so the Father the Son and the Holy

Spirit that trinity and that hope that we have in

that light of God being with us at all times.

And so it was lovely to do that and it

was very exciting and it's nice to be here.

So hopefully I will see you in person but I'm

going to say the blessing no and this is a

blessing in the name of the father the Son and

the Holy Spirit God the Father by whose love christ

was raised from the dead open to you.

He believed the gates of everlasting life are men.

God the Son who in bursting from the grave has

won a glorious victory.

Give you joy as you share the east of faith

are men and God the Holy Spirit who filled the

disciples with the life of the risen Lord empower you

and fill you with christ peace and the blessing of

God Almighty Father son and Holy Spirit be with you

all ever.

Thank you, reverend Lawrence, lovely and lovely to have you
