Greetings from Church of Peace!

This Sunday we’ll be celebrating World Communion Sunday along with churches across Fond du Lac and around the world.  Join us and feel connected with your sisters and brothers in faith worldwide.  The sermon will focus on God’s gifts of love, power, and self-control.

Janet Rymer is in the hospital.  Please pray for her speedy and complete recovery from surgery.

After Sunday School this week, you are invited to attend a bike-ride-and-picnic with church friends.  We’ll meet at Lakeside Park at 11:15. You can choose between a long ride and a short ride.  A potluck lunch will be shared afterwards by riders and non-riders alike. Join us for a fun time! It looks like the weather will be delightful.

Construction report: Today they have begun putting the bricks on the outside of the new addition.  Lots of drywall has gone up over the past week on the inside. Insulation is being installed. Want to see for yourself? Tours of the construction will be offered after worship on October 9^th.

That’s the news from Church of Peace. 

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

A prayer for today: O God who walks with us through the hills and valleys of life, guiding and strengthening us for every challenge, today I pray for a sense of your nearness and an openness to hear your voice.  May I live this day as a faithful disciple of Jesus. Shine your healing light upon Janet Rymer and bless her with returning health and strength.  These things I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
