Greetings from Church of Peace!

We have a special guest joining us in worship leadership this Sunday and we hope you’ll be here to enjoy and greet him.  His name is Rev. Franz Riegert. Franz serves as the Conference Minister of the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ. There will be a prayer journey and uplifting songs.  Worship will begin at 8:45.

We know of no one hospitalized at this time.

Starla Rebedew will be available after worship to answer questions about the Feed My Starving Children project in which we are participating with other Fond du Lac churches.

That’s the news from Church of Peace. 

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

A prayer for today: Be with me today, O God, as I seek to follow Jesus in all my words and actions.  Help me to seize opportunities to reach out in compassionate love to others. I pray remembering Jesus.  Amen.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and, as has become our custom, during the service we will honor people with enduring marriages. Couples married fifty or more years will receive a rose.  Those married 25-50 years will receive a carnation.  It is such a delight to be able to honor these people! The sermon will focus on Biblical tips for a happy marriage. The choir will sing. Starla Rebedew will present information regarding the “Feed My Hungry Children” food-packaging extravaganza on April 1^st.

Edsel Wiegert died yesterday morning.  His funeral will be held Wednesday at the church.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: Warm my heart with your tender touch, O God, and fill me with the glow of your Spirit.  Let me shine your light in every aspect of my life as I seek to follow Christ.  Bless with your healing comfort the family of Edsel Wiegert.  Amen.

It’s February already and time for Holy Communion again.  It will be featured at Sunday’s service along with thoughts and songs about light and salt.  Join us at 8:45 a.m. All doors will be open for your use.

Following worship, a reception will be held in the Fellowship Hall to honor Jackie Rymer for her thirteen years of service as our office manager.  As Jackie steps down from this position, we will thank her for her faithful dedication to our congregation for all these years. You will be invited to write a thank you to Jackie. Cards will be available on the table in the narthex or bring your own card. Punch and cake will highlight the celebration.

Beginning next week, our office hours will be Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Our new administrative assistant, Barbara Abler, will be at the desk and phones.  Stop in and say “hello!” In case of bad weather, we will follow the lead of the Fond du Lac School system: they’re open, we’re open.  A snow day for them is a snow day for us.

Randy Stafford and Edsel Wiegert are both hospitalized.  Please remember them in your prayers.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

A prayer for today: Dear God of life and new life, I pray that you will bless me today with an awareness of your presence with me.  Show me how to serve you by serving others.  Please shine your healing light upon Randy Stafford and Edsel Wiegert as they are hospitalized.  Amen.
