Greetings from Church of Peace!

Sunday is Mother’s Day and we will be remembering our mothers with love.  The choir will sing a special anthem.  The sermon will be Pastor Jenny’s “motherly” words to the people of Church of Peace.

Ken Meyn is a patient at St. Agnes Hospital. Please remember him in prayer.

Want to help our food pantry? This Saturday afternoon we need volunteers to sort the food that Church of Peace will receive from the Postal Carriers’ food drive. Please come to the church about 1:00 p.m. if you can help.  Thanks!

This is the last Sunday of traditional Sunday School for the season (10:00 a.m.) We salute our teachers for another successful year.  Next week, May 20^th, a Family Faith Formation event will begin at 10:00.  It is a bus trip to Cristo Rey Ranch to see animals from the Bible.  The cost of the trip is $5.00.  We will return at noon.  Permission slips are needed for children whose parents are not going to attend.

Tuesday, May 22^nd is the final Golden Fellowship event of the spring.  We will be going to Mayville to tour the Metalcraft factory, eat lunch at the Cooper Shop Restaurant, and then visit the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center. The bus leaves here at 9:00 a.m. and returns at about 3:00 p.m. The cost is $12.00 plus your lunch.  Please sign up soon!

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim

A prayer for today: Gentle and powerful God, I need your help today.  I need your blessings of wisdom and guidance, peace and love. Please shine within my life. Bless Ken Meyn with continued healing and increasing strength. I pray remembering Jesus.  Amen.

Greetings and a Call for Rummage 04-25-18

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Help! We need rummage! This week our Ladies of Peace have been busy setting up the rummage sale. We are a little sparse in the clothing department.  We can use other stuff too. This is the time to do some quick spring cleaning of your home and closet. If you have items to share, please bring them in today (Wednesday) or tomorrow so they can be sorted and priced for Friday and Saturday’s sale. Baked goods are also welcomed. Then come back and shop: Friday 8-6, Saturday 8-2. Thanks!

Worship this Sunday features a dramatic story from the Book of Acts.  Join us for this time of song, prayer, and Word.  Worship begins at 8:45 a.m.
