The Book of Common Prayer or BCP is an old devotional book that contains orders of services, ancient creeds, communal prayers, and the lectionary - a suggested reading plan for use throughout the liturgical year. These texts & prayers are pulled from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and posted each week so that when we gather around these scriptures daily, we are individually connected with each other; meditating on the same texts, engaging the seasons in a kindred spirit. We at Trinity believe in the power of this tradition. These are always posted on the Sunday at the beginning of the week.

PRAYER | WHITSUNDAY

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
