The Rev. Dustin Barrows is the priest-in-charge of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio and our small-church sermon-writer for this edition of the June edition of the Small Church Ministry newsletter. Fr. Dustin shares this sermon on the lectionary texts of the Trinity Sunday for other churches in the diocese to use. If you don’t have regular clergy to preach this Sunday, June 15 or you are the regular preacher at your church and could use a little break, please consider reading Fr. Dustin’s sermon out loud to the congregation as the sermon on the day, with proper attribution, of course. 

This newsletter lands in your inbox in the middle of Lent, so these resources are provided with an eye to Holy Week, the Easter season, Pentecost and even ordinary time.
