Greetings from Church of Peace!
This Sunday we will read the
story of the Wise Men coming to see Jesus in Bethlehem. We’ll think together about the meaning of
their visit and be inspired by their generous gifts. Little Landon Vogt will be
baptized. Worship will begin at 8:45. Social hour will follow worship.
At the beginning of each calendar
year, we hand out a “Bible verse of the year” to each worshipper. These will be distributed this Sunday.
Please bring your Reverse Advent
Calendar box to worship with you Sunday.
Someone will be at the door to meet you and take it from you or you can
drive to the elevator door and a member of the Stewardship Ministry Team will
take it from your car. If you did not participate in the Reverse Advent
Calendar and would like to donate some food for the new food pantry, this is a
good time to bring it.
Sunday School will resume as
usual this Sunday. The children and
teachers will meet at 10:00 in the sanctuary.
Barb Fuderer and Ken Thome have
been hospitalized. Two people have died
– Delores Pinkert and Rev. Rich Weikel.
May God bring healing and comfort to all who are in pain or grief.
Construction news: They are
putting the final touches on our new addition (wait until you see the beautiful
stairway railing!) and we are ready to start moving in. The first step is to clean the dust off
everything in Gammert Hall that will go into the new addition. Beginning Monday, January 9th, you
are encouraged to stop in at the church with a dust rag and bucket and work on
this project for a couple of hours.
Saturday, January 14th will be moving day and we want everything
to be clean and ready to move.
That’s the news from Church of
Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastor Jenny
A prayer for today: Warm my day, O God, with your loving
presence and your sparkling blessing of deep peace. Show me how to serve you with diligence and
joy. Bless all who are sick or in grief today, especially Barb Fuderer, Ken
Thome, and the families of Delores Pinkert and Rev. Rich Weikel. I pray remembering Jesus. Amen.
