I wish you all a Happy and Blessed New Year! First things first: This is not the monthly newsletter you’re used to. In fact, it’s not a “newsletter” at all. Think of it as a “snapshot” of happenings at Trinity. This update, issued the first week of each month, will be your streamlined guide to events in upcoming weeks. We’ll also look back and follow up on recent ministry projects. Never fear—our beloved Trinity Episcopalian isn’t going away! It is being re-invented as a quarterly e-magazine filled with features, images, interviews and stories of faith. Look for your first issue at the end of March. In the meantime, continue to send your parish news, photos, story ideas, etc. to [email protected]. —Peace ~Sarah EYC’s December lock-in provided the perfect opportunity for Trini- ty’s youth to send some comfort to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The paper snowflakes were requested by Con- necticut PTA, and will be used to decorate the new school that will serve those affected by the tragedy. (The concept behind the project: Each child, like each snowflake, is unique.) EYC members also made banners that were sent to Trinity Episcopal Church and St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Newtown, Conn. Our parishioners had the opportunity to sign the banners following Sunday services before they were shipped to the churches for display. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.” Matthew 5:14a Do you want to be a dynamic keeper of the faith? Scripture shows us routinely that God plans for our faith to deepen throughout our lives and expects us to share in Christ’s ministry to God’s people. Christ exhorted disciples, crowds, students and leaders to serve God to the best of their ability. He talked with complete confidence of the great things that believers would do in God’s name. His expectation speaks directly into our lives today. Christ empowers, urges and expects that our lights will shine in our world. Yet, I wonder how many of us ask at the start of the day, “How am I to shine as Christ’s light in the world today?” With Epiphany our thoughts shift to the light guiding visitors to the Christ child. In that same way Christ guides us to deeper faith, to fulfilling ministries, to sharing the light of Christ with the world. All around you are opportunities to share God’s love in the world. Not sure where to start? Then ask for help or advice. Your friends, your family, your parish and your priest are all there to support you as you seek to serve God. Most importantly Christ will guide you. You are the light of the world. Go. Shine. Rector: The Rev. Carlye J.
