Greetings and a Call for Rummage 04-25-18

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Help! We need rummage! This week our Ladies of Peace have been busy setting up the rummage sale. We are a little sparse in the clothing department.  We can use other stuff too. This is the time to do some quick spring cleaning of your home and closet. If you have items to share, please bring them in today (Wednesday) or tomorrow so they can be sorted and priced for Friday and Saturday’s sale. Baked goods are also welcomed. Then come back and shop: Friday 8-6, Saturday 8-2. Thanks!

Worship this Sunday features a dramatic story from the Book of Acts.  Join us for this time of song, prayer, and Word.  Worship begins at 8:45 a.m.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: Thank you, dear God, for this day which is full of possibilities for service in Christ’s name.  Please open my heart to your nearness and love as I try to live faithfully for Jesus.  Amen.

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Rain, snow, a wintry mix – we might get it all this coming weekend. Come join us at Church of Peace for several heart-warming activities, no matter what the weather is like outside.

Sunday morning worship will begin at 8:45.  It will feature a story from the early church as told in the Biblical book of Acts.  We’ll celebrate the 115 years of ministry by our Ladies of Peace. Join us as we sing, pray, and grow in faith together.

Plans for the Faith Formation Event on Sunday have been modified.  After talking with the farm manager at Cristo Rey Ranch, it was decided to postpone the trip until next month when the weather will be more cooperative.  So this Sunday we will meet at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary for a time of inter-generational fun.  We’ll learn together about the church as the Body of Christ as we do crafts and play instructive games, then worship together.  A pizza lunch will follow.  We’ll be done around 11:30 a.m. People of all ages are invited. No regular Sunday School will be held on this Sunday.

Saturday will be a wonderful evening at Church of Peace.  The Lakeland University Choir will join us for a potluck supper (at 5:00 p.m.) followed by a concert at 7:00 p.m. There is no charge for the potluck (chicken will be provided; please bring a dish to pass) and a free-will offering will be taken at the concert.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: I open my heart to you, O God.  Please make a home within it.  Fill me with your love and peace.  Show me how to bless others as you have blessed me.  Amen.
