From the Pastor
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now
the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity,
sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of
anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness,
orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before,
that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against
such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians
5:18-24 It's June, and in Connecticut we turn our attention to
flowers, vegetable gardens, and trees as spring finally comes into
full bloom!
The Bible asks us to look carefully at what is blooming and
growing in our own lives and our life together. St. Paul warns us
about the "works of the flesh" that are always popping up like
weeds in our lives. These are works that come forth from the "old
sinner" in each of us, and the fruit of our self-centeredness, in
that they tear apart our relationship with God, ourselves, and each
other. We cannot live in the reality of God's Kingdom when they are
our focus. But St. Paul tells us that in baptism we have died to
these things, for we have been joined to Christ's Cross, and so
these weeds in us have been crucified with him. Instead, fed by
God's redeeming grace, and living by his free gift of forgiveness,
we live in faith by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit causes
flowering and fruitfulness in our lives. What do these fruits of
the Spirit look like? They build up our lives with God, ourselves,
and each other. "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control." God bless you for a fruitful June. --Pastor

Church Picnic
The annual TLC Picnic will be held Sunday, June 16, 2013 at the
Sundermann residence in North Haven following our worship service.
The pool will be open (weather permitting) and we will also
have
volleyball, badminton, and fishing (at the pond across the
street.) The church will provide the Hot Dogs, Hamburgers (and
buns), lemonade and iced tea. Everyone is welcome to attend, just
be sure to sign up in the narthex so we have a reasonable
headcount. We also ask that you use the sign-up sheet in the
narthex to let us know whether you will be bringing either a side
dish/ salad or dessert. We also need your help for the set up and
clean up. Any volunteers able to bring the tables and chairs out to
North Haven email Pastor Mills and back to church after the picnic
(on June 16th). The picnic will be held rain or shine.
Movie Night Movie night is for movie lovers of all ages every
month. Everyone is welcome to join us. The movies are shown in
Emma’s Place (in the church basement) the 2nd Friday of
every month. Friday, June 14, 2013 at 6:30 pm the feature film
will be “Arsenic and Old Lace”. During intermission we will provide
snacks, juice and coffee. Hope you can join us. Mark your 2013
calendars for the 2nd Friday of every month at 6:30 pm.

Operation Christmas Child Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.” It is with great pride and
bounteous joy that I announce to you that Trinity Lutheran Church
has become an official relay station for Operation Christmas Child,
allowing us to take this wonderful ministry to a new level. What
does this mean that we will be a relay station you might ask. We
will be the drop off center for other individuals, churches and
other groups who like us have assembled shoe boxes. This is a
wonderful opportunity of connecting community with children a world
away. During national collection week in November we will open our
doors daily as we welcome the community and their gift filled
boxes. At the end of the week we will transport all the boxes to
Trumbull. Let me assure you that we will continue to collect and
fill our own shoe boxes as in previous years And they will be
prayed for during the Sunday service as usual. We will be praying
for volunteers to help us in several aspects of this new endeavor.
We will need people to spread the good news to the community{that
is something we can all do}, we will need people to be available on
drop off days to welcome guest and receive the shoe- boxes, pack
shoe- boxes in cartons, sign guest and boxes in, pray for the
ministry. In the next window I will have the hours open schedule.
It is not to early to volunteer now. See me after church on Sundays
or give me a call at 203-999-2315. This month we would ask for
donations of coloring books, small stuffed animals, balls,
jumpropes or whatever you might like to get. Praise God for this
wonderful opportunity to reach out to the community on behalf of
children around the globe. Blessings to each and everyone of you.
