Hymn Notes
Hymn 362: Holy, Holy, Holy
Today we celebrate two sacred mysteries: the Trinity, and marriage in the blessing of Barbara’s and Roger’s vows. These two mysteries are far apart: both are about relationships that we can never fully comprehend, but can only live into more deeply every day. Augustine said that God could be understood as Lover, Beloved, and Loving: those three bind marriage and community together as well. So we sing this great Trinitarian paraphrase of Isaiah’s vision in the temple, proclaiming God’s glory and presence and love, and seeking God’s grace to live it out in all our relations. Blessings, Barbara and Roger!-- Donna Wessel Walker

• Civil Marriage of Barbara Mackey and Roger King: The Rev. Alan Gibson will bless the
civil marriage of Barbara Mackey and Roger King at St. Andrew’s at the 10:00 am service on
Sunday, May 26. They particularly desire that the parish join them in this joyous occasion.
They would also like to invite those who are able to join them at an open house that
afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at their home [1510 Westfield, Ann Arbor (off of Stadium)].
The Rev. Joe Summers will bless the house at 3:00 pm. While they recognize that gifts are
customary at marriages, they respectfully request that the tradition not be followed for
them. A donation to The Breakfast at St. Andrew’s or to the OASIS ministry in their honor
would be most welcome, however.
