Trinity Lutheran Church Welcome We’re glad you came!

Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me, "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" Written by Martin Smith Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me, And I will open up my heart And let the Healer set me free.

I’m happy to be in the truth. And I will daily lift my hands, For I will always sing of when Your love came down.

I could sing of Your love forever.

Over the mountains and the sea, Your river runs with love for me, And I will open up my heart And let the Healer set me free.

I’m happy to be in the truth. And I will daily lift my hands, For I will always sing of when Your love came down.

I could sing of Your love forever.

It’s foolishness, I know. But when the world has seen the light, Oh, I feel like dancing; It’s foolishness, I know. But when the world has seen the light, They will dance with joy Like we’re dancing now.

The Children’s Message by Rene Barringer, Children’s Minister

“In Christ Connection” June 11, 2017 Trinity Lutheran Church “In Christ Connection” Rev. Philemon Ngare Ministry Consultant with Bethesda Lutheran Communities

We Hear From God’s Word - 1 Peter 4:1-11 Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past  suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry.

4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does. 7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.  To Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

A Time of Prayer

Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
