Truth

Prayer Day walk

Previously, I posted a picture of a beaver lodge I took along the bridle trail in Oxford today, my prayer day. 

What an amazing sight, a display of ingenuity and engineering, not by humans, but by beavers.  God as certainly created an amazing world filled with amazing creatures, we who are only one of those creatures.

Remember, we are only one of those creatures.  We share this earth and are called to be good stewards of it.  We are not doing a good job of it.  We need to wake up to the carnage we are leaving on this earth with our lust for money and material goods.  What will it all matter if our beautiful earth is destroyed by our carelessness?

God help us all.

Vacation Bible School Date Change: June 28-July 1

Hi Folks,

Shelton announced that the Fourth of July fireworks and accompanying festivities will be held on July 2.  Due to this fact, our Vacation Bible School will be held Sunday, June 28 through Wednesday, July 1.

The theme is "G-Force". Grab a registration form for your children or friends that might enjoy this great program in the alcove or volunteer to help. This is for children who have completed at least one year of preschool- 4^th grade. Food donations are also needed and will soon be hung up in the alcove as well. We also need someone who would be willing to cook on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Please consider helping us bring children closer to God. Any questions please contact Kirsten Keith at 203-929-4225.

Peace,

Rev. Lucille

Hi Folks,

Well, the weather today has been of the proverbial "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute" variety. Hope you are all faring well!

This coming Thursday, June 11 is my prayer day.  If you have any joys or concerns you would like me to raise up, please let me know.

This coming Saturday, June 13 is our Reuman House Clean-up starting at 9 A.M.  We will be straightening the place up and cleaning the kitchen and the bathrooms.  Any help is appreciated.

This Sunday is Children's/Robert Wilson Sunday.  We will be celebrating our Sunday School and recognizing the teachers and helpers. Gertrude Wilson will be with us to remember her husband Robert and remind us of the importance of dairy farms.  She is donating the ice cream for our reception following the service.

The scripture is Mark 4:25-34.  The sermon is "The Mustard Seed".  We will also be celebrating the sacrament of baptism for Hailey Lynn Triplett.

"My Sister's Place" in Ansonia has placed a bin in Fellowship Hall to collect clean, gently used clothes, accessories, and small household items. No furniture (you can take it yourself to the store), baby equipment, old books and magazines, stuff animals, or broken/more than 5 year old electronics, including computers.  Donation slips for tax purposes will be available. The proceeds of "My Sister's Place" go to BHCare's "Umbrella" Center for Domestic Violence Services to aid domestic abuse victims and their children.  What a great way to clean out the closets and help those in need. It's a win-win!!!

Vacation Bible School is coming up, June 29 through July 2, 5:30 P.M. to 7:45 P.M.  The theme is "G-Force". Grab a registration form for your children or friends that might enjoy this great program in the alcove or volunteer to help. This is for children who have completed at least one year of preschool- 4^th grade. Food donations are also needed and will soon be hung up in the alcove as well. We also need someone who would be willing to cook on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Please consider helping us bring children closer to God. Any questions please contact Kirsten Keith at 203-929-4225.

Please mark your calendar on June 28 following our worship service for the first Open and Affirming event.  We will be outlining the process and gathering your questions, comments, and concerns.  Please make every effort to attend!

Let us pray.

O Holy One, we trust in your strength and presence to lead us through the storms of life.  Help us to always see the rainbow.  Amen.

In Christ's love,

Rev. Lucille
