Dear Friends,
This Sunday Ephesians 4:25-5:2 challenges us to speak the truth in love and to avoid letting the sun go down on our anger. Our church’s mission is "to make God known by growing as disciples of Jesus Christ, building a community of peace, and caring for the needs of others." We cannot make God known unless we love like God loves, an impossible goal, yet one toward which we will continually strive.
Hey everyone, we need your help. If you are planning to be a charter member of Peace (or an affiliate member, maintaining your primary membership elsewhere) then we ask you to complete the attached form and return to Robin Miller or simply reply to me. Some of you did this last Sunday. Thanks! Forms will be available at church too.

Our youth are having a meaningful mission trip in the foothills of SC with Pastor Tricia, the Tuites, and Rod Scott chaperoning.
Our elder nominating committee has been working fruitfully and you will hear from them next week. The congregational meeting is on August 30 to elect the first three classes of elders with four in each class.
There’s a pool party here at our house 2:00-6:00 on August 16th for children, youth, and any adults who can handle the organized chaos. That’s the day of our 11:00 Musical, "Cool in the Furnace" and our sing-along with the Joyful Jammers.
Peace to you and all whom you love,
Pastor Elizabeth
