Greetings from Church
of Peace!
On Sunday, the sermon will focus
on “Famous Last Words,” in particular the last words of Jesus and the Apostle
Paul. There will be a special blessing
for our retiring organist, Helene Schrankler, and our retiring choir director,
Lee Behnke. Please join us as we honor
and thank these women who have been blessings to our congregation for many
years. The service will begin at 8:45.
It will be followed by a special social hour hosted by the choir.
We ask that you remember three
families when you pray, families that are grieving because of recent deaths of
loved ones – the families of Church of Peace members Eleanore Stamurs and Ruth
Fox, and also Gary Babler’ s father, Glenn Babler.
Tomorrow a group of our church
family members will leave at 9:00 to go rafting on the Pestigo River.
Saturday is the Spring Clean-Up
of the outside of the church building.
We are eager to have our property be a shining star in the
neighborhood. Please come help rake,
plant, and clean. We’ll begin at 8:00
a.m. and be done by noon. Coffee, juice,
and donuts will be served.
That’s the news from Church of Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
A prayer for today (from a prayer by William
Barclay): O God, help me to live
today well. Help me to cause as little
trouble and to give as much help as possible.
May I share the burdens and joys of all who share my life. I ask your
blessing of consolation upon all who grieve, especially the families of
Eleanore Stamurs, Ruth Fox, and Glenn Babler.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
