Join us on Tuesday, June 9 from 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET for an online session exploring how communities of faith can live into The United Church of Canada’s 2025 apology to 2S and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Participants will reflect on the apology, hear stories from communities already engaging this work, and explore practical ways to embody the apology in worship, community life, and public witness.

The session will also offer space for conversation, reflection, and identifying meaningful next steps in local contexts.

For Trinity Sunday our Psalm was Psalm 8. Psalm 8 celebrates the majesty of God as revealed in creation, from the heavens to the smallest creatures, and the remarkable dignity bestowed upon humanity, who, though small in the vastness of the cosmos, are entrusted with stewardship over God's works. One of the translations in the Weekly Psalms page on the website for this Psalm is from the Coverdale Psalter. The Coverdale Psalter is the English translation of the Psalms prepared by Miles Coverdale and first published in 1535 as part of the first complete printed Bible in English. Although later English Bible translations surpassed Coverdale's work in accuracy, his Psalter was retained in the Book of Common Prayer and became one of the most influential texts in English-speaking worship, shaping Anglican devotion and church music for centuries.
The chanted version below uses the Coverdale setting, slight adjusted for some old English words. As is typical in Catholic chanting it starts, and ends, with an Antiphon. Here it is derived from Psalm 8:5–6. Between the end of the Psalm and the closing antiphon is the “Gloria Patri” Doxology, which is also commonly used in Anglican chanting. The chant itself is a Gregorian chant.

If, like me, you have missed not having a Psalm in the service at Trinity for the last couple of weeks you can always go to the trinity website to look at the "Weekly Psalm" page. Our psalm for Pentecost Sunday was part of Psalm 104, this Psalm is a poetic hymn of praise celebrating God as the creator, sustainer, and provider of all life and the natural order of the world. Here are modern words from parts of the Psalm from the "Book of Praise of the Canadian Reformed Churches", by Walter van der Kamp 1972, revised 2009 by William Helder. It is sung to a very old tune called SUS, SUS, MON AME, IL TE FAUT, set for this Psalm from the "Geneva Psalter", by Claude Goudimel, 1564. - Julian -
