The Third Sunday of Lent:  The Trinity Introduction to the Worship Celebration In the earliest years of the Christian Church, Lent was a time to learn about the Christian faith.  People new tot he faith would spend the 40 days of Lent fasting, praying, and studying, and then would be baptized on Easter. We are reviewing some of the basic principles of our faith during these Sundays in Lent.  Today we consider the Trinity:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.     Lessons:  Proverbs 8:  22-31 (In this passage, "I" is wisdom.  It reminds us that wisdom was a part of the Trinity from the beginning.)                     Romans 5: 1-5  (We see the work of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.)  Gospel:    John 16.12-15  (The illuminating power of the Holy Spirit.)   Hymn Choices:                   Father Most Holy                 Holy, Holy, Holy                 Father, I Adore You                Praise to the Father                Holy, Holy   Return to Resource Center                           Return to Lenten Series Introduction                                Go to next page
