We are looking to start a Tot Time group in the parish. This is an opportunity for parents of small children to gather with members of our parish community to find support and encouragement while our children play and learn together. Parenthood is a vocation and we need to affirm and inspire each other as we grow deeper in communion with Christ. Gatherings could include play dates at each others houses, Bible story time, meetings at the park, taking a walk together, and meeting for coffee. Our hope would be to casually teach our children new prayers and songs while playing with new friends. Please contact Jodie at jotherriault10@gmail.com or (603)953-5552 if you have any questions or are interested in joining. First gathering coming soon!

Message of the Week

Happy Trinity Sunday! In today's Gospel, we hear Jesus declare together all three Persons of the Trinity. "Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

When we speak of the Trinity, two different theological words are sometimes used: immanent and economic. The immanent Trinity is the life of the three Persons within themselves, the inner harmonious relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. We see this in the Gospels when Jesus speaks of his Father and promises to send the Holy Spirit. The term "economic" has its roots in the Greek word oikonomia, roughly meaning "household management." The economic Trinity is our three-

Personed God's relationship with creation; it is creation and redemption and ongoing relationship with us. Made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to imitate God's immanence by giving and receiving love with one another in community. However, this is not limited only to those close to us, though that's where love often starts. We also imitate the economy of God when we go out, when we extend our love and care in a life-giving way. "Go therefore ?"

Every believer is sent on mission. Every believer is invited to follow Jesus and the Apostles "to the nations," to the margins, to the people who require a little extra reach. This could be a distant relative, the residents of your local homeless shelter or even the forgotten neighbor next door! When we love well, we create something beautiful-a relationship, a holy moment, a foretaste of heaven. This Trinity Sunday, take some time to examine the relationships in your life. How well do you love those nearest to you? How well do you reach out to those farther away? How are you creating something beautiful?

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK First Reading

Moses recounts to the Israelites, just prior to their entry into the Promised Land, all the miraculous work done by God that they witnessed. Why do you think Moses placed such a high premium on remembering their story?

Second Reading

Paul speaks to the believers in the city of Rome, "who are led by the Spirit," as being "joint heirs with Christ" as children of God. In what way do you find hope in this message from Paul?

Gospel Reading

Jesus' final command to the disciples before his ascension is to baptize all the nations "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." How do you see the Church being faithful to this command?
