Hymn for
Trinity


Abba, God, you call us in.
Jesus, Lord, you conquer sin.
Spirit, Flame, you burn within.

Great "I Am",
     your breath to share.
Lamb of God, 
     your cross to bear.
Wind Divine, your joy to care.

Spring of Life, wash over time.
Flowing Stream,
     make water wine.
Wondrous Sea,
     by grace refine.

Root of All, enrich our soul.
Jesse's Branch, 
    graft and make whole.
Fruit of Life, feed and console.

Sun above, enlighten all.
Rays in time, direct our call.
Warmth within,
     no heart too small.

Three in One, Great God,
     we praise.
One in Three, your name, 
     we raise.
Trinity, throughout all days.


J.M.A. Wright+
Tune: St. Philip, Boris

Announcements

Bishop, Reformer and Martyr
William Alexander Guerry
1861-1928

 
Collect: God of truth and sacrifice, we give thanks this day for your servant William, who, like your church’s first martyr, having lived out your liberating gospel, echoed your healing words of forgiveness for the good of his murderer. May we also remain faithful as we seek to build your church, making it broad enough to embrace every living human soul. All this we pray through him who is forever the bishop and reformer of our souls, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
Remembering
Bishop Guerry


On Sunday, June 9, Grace commemorates William Alexander Guerry, Bishop, Reformer and Martyr. Born in 1861, he had an illustrious career as a parish priest and bishop and as chaplain and professor at the University of the South. He was the Eighth Bishop of South Carolina from 1907 until his death on June 9, 1928 at the hands of a gunman.

Eighty-five years later, Grace is dedicating a chapel in the narthex of the church in his memory, following a resolution adopted by the parish in February, and marking June 9 as his feast day.

Bishop Guerry said: "
“We should strive for unity, not uniformity. Uniformity is mechanical, barren, unfruitful, and unprofitable. Unity is organic, living, and capable of endless growth. If we are to be truly catholic, as Christ himself is catholic, then we must have a church  broad enough to embrace within its communion every living human soul.”

Diocesan Acolyte Festival at Grace

Learning at the Altar
Acolytes attending the first Diocesan Acolyte Festival at Grace on May 19 hear about the significance of various symbols on and around the altar as the Reverend Canon J. Michael A. Wright, Rector of Grace, leads a workshop in the church. Dozens of acolytes from all around The Episcopal Church in South Carolina attended the event. Later in the day, they rededicated themselves to this important ministry during a Choral Eucharist with Bishop vonRosenberg. See a photo album from the festival here, or view and share it on Facebook here.
