Greetings from Church of Peace - October 18, 2012

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Fond du Lac Police Chief William Lamb will be with us in worship on Sunday to share a Mission Moment.  The service draws its focus from Psalm 91, a Biblical song rich in advice on how to handle fear and danger.   The Chapel Choir will sing an anthem based on the 23^rd Psalm.  Join us for an hour of worship which will ease our fears and build our faith. 

Tonight’s NEW Thursday night worship service will begin at 6:30 in the Upper Room.  We will be talking about trusting God in times of peril or anxiety.

Mary Lange is now recuperating at St. Francis Home.  Please pray that she will have a speedy and full recovery.

John Langolf died last Saturday.  His funeral was yesterday. Remember his family when you pray. 

It is bazaar week! Set up begins Saturday at 8:00, continues after Sunday School, and will be going on all day Monday.  Bring your “goodies” to the church Sunday or Monday and plan to come back on Tuesday to help, shop, and eat. With everyone’s support, we can make this the best bazaar ever!

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: On this chilly and blustery day, I thank you for the warm place in which I live and the warm feeling in my soul that comes from thinking of you.  Show me how to best serve you today.  I pray for Mary Lange and for the family of John Langolf.  And I ask that you bless our bazaar so Church of Peace may serve as a gracious host and as a good example of Christian hospitality while we raise money to support your work near and far.  Amen.

Greetings from Church of Peace,

“How beautiful!”  “It is gorgeous.”  This is what you will say when you enter the sanctuary on Sunday and see our altar adorned for Harvest Home Sunday. Fruits, vegetables and other produce will combine to proclaim God’s generous abundance. Join us at 8:45 a.m. Sunday for this festival of blessings. The youth choir will sing.

If you have produce, fall flowers, or home-canned goods to contribute to the Harvest Home display, please bring them to the church before Saturday morning. Write your name on them so you can have them back!

NEW Worship is tonight at 6:30 p.m.  We will gather to worship and learn together about the seeds which God sows in our hearts and lives.  We meet in the Upper Room.

Mary Lange is still hospitalized in Madison and expects to return to Fond du Lac soon for long-term rehab. Del Luttenberger died Tuesday evening. Please remember Mary Lange and the Luttenberger family when you pray.

HELP! The building committee wants to spruce up the narthex/lobby area before the bazaar.  They will be painting this Saturday morning beginning at 8:00. Can you help?  Even a couple of hours of your time would be a significant gift to the church.  Thank you!

Sunday afternoon is the CROP Walk.  We meet at 12:45 on Oven Island at Lakeside Park.  The walk will take about an hour.  It helps the hungry here and far away.  Sign-up sheets are available at the church.

There will be a hayride for the confirmands and senior highs this Sunday night.  Meet at the church at 5:45 to ride together to Milton Scott’s farm.  What fun you will have! The cost is $3.00.  You can bring a friend.  Permission slips are required for everyone.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: Your heart is so beautiful, O God, to create all the loveliness which I see this autumn season.  Your heart is so generous, dear Lord, to share all of the abundant bounty which I receive.  Bless me as I try to show my gratitude by the way that I live today. Mary Lange and the Luttenberger family are in need of your healing touch; I know that you are with them in this difficult time. Thank you!  I pray these things with deep love and with gratitude.  Amen.
