Greetings from Church of Peace!

“Modern Life” – that’s tonight’s topic at our Lenten service.  Join us at 6:30 for a time of renewal, inspiration, and laughter. 

Sunday is Palm Sunday. The Worship Enhancement Team will have transformed our sanctuary into a palm-filled wonderland and worshippers will be invited to take a palm home.  This service is full of triumph and will lift our hearts.  Join us at 8:45 a.m.

Terri Hoffman is a patient in the hospital. Please pray that God’s healing blessing will be upon her.

On Sunday we will receive our One Great Hour of Sharing offering.  This annual offering provides disaster relief throughout the year as well as funding development projects for the world’s people who suffer in severe poverty.  Let us open our hearts and give generously to this urgent ministry.

Looking ahead:

Next Thursday, March 29^th, we will gather to remember the Last Supper of Jesus.  We’ll have communion served in the pews.  This will be a deeply meaningful service. It will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Friday, March 30^th our sanctuary will be bare and our hearts heavy as we gather to commemorate the death of our Lord. Join us at 7:00 p.m. for a time of remembrance.

Easter Sunday is April 1^st this year (no foolin’).  We will worship at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. with altar communion at each service.  The choir will sing at both services as well.  The mission trip youth will offer a breakfast between the services.

That’s the news from Church of Peace.

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

A prayer for today: Strengthen my heart today, O God, with your gifts of hope and faith. Fill me with a deep desire to be a disciple and show me ways to serve you.  Grant me wisdom and guidance in the choices that I make.  I pray that your healing light will shine upon Terri Hoffman, returning her to health and strength.  Amen.

Tonight we gather at 7:00 p.m. to look with the eyes of faith at another facet of human life – aging.  The comics of Pickles will make us laugh and the inspiration of Scripture will fill our hearts with hope. Join us – you’ll be so glad that you did!

Sunday’s service brings us a chancel drama, beautiful music, and times of heart-warming prayer.  The service will begin at 8:45 a.m.

It’s time for another Family Faith Formation event!  We will meet from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. for crafts, activities, worship, and lunch.  The theme this month is prayer.

Greetings from Church of Peace!

Today is a Wednesday in Lent which means you have an opportunity to be spiritually refreshed this evening.  Join us at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall for a time of song, prayer, Scripture, and commentary on day-to-day life with our friends from the Pickles comic strip. You’ll be glad you came.

Sunday’s service will deal with the perennial human problem of change.  Come learn from the Scriptures how to deal with the ever-present reality of adjusting to new situations. The choir will sing and there will be a prayer journey. The service will begin at 8:45 a.m.

Gene Willis is in the hospital.  Please remember him in prayer.

Next Saturday night, when you go to bed, be sure to set your clock ahead one hour.  You wouldn’t want to be late to church!

See you in church!  Pastors Jenny and Jim

A prayer for today: Pour the sunshine of your love into my heart today, O God, so that I might feel your nearness and shine with your love. Open me to your guidance. I pray that Gene Willis will experience your healing power in his life as he recovers from surgery. I pray remembering Jesus.  Amen.
