Pentecost - Take Two ???

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Things happen.  This past Sunday the supply preacher whom we have known for years and who has always been dependable didn’t show up.  To Victor and Roger and all who met the surprise with grace – thank you! We are checking with her and with the Northeast Association to see that she is all right and that this doesn’t happen again.

This Sunday, it is Pentecost – Take Two. We’ll celebrate this holy day with upbeat music as we give thanks for the gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives as a church.  There will a prayer journey. Join us at 8:45 a.m. for a time of joyful worship.

Elizabeth Oestreich and Grant Groeschel will be married in our sanctuary this Saturday.  When you pray, ask for God’s blessing in their life together.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: O what a beautiful day, O God, your creative hand has brought into existence today.  Thank you!  May your lovely Spirit bless me with joy at the gift of life and the ability to shine with your light in all I do.  I ask your special blessing upon Elizabeth and Grant as they begin married life together.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

Show me how to live faithfully as a disciple of Jesus.

A prayer for today: The lovely spring weather sets my soul singing, O God.  Thank you!  May my words and actions reflect my gratitude for all your blessings to me.
