Peace Family,
I continue to hear from friends in the presbytery who were inspired by sharing our day of joy! There are wonderful photos from the day, thanks to the "Peace paparazzi." Two people said it had been years (more than twenty) since they had experienced such a meaningful worship service. Others have been amazed at the professional quality of the commemorative publication, and astounded at what a new church has accomplished in such a short period of time.
With the gospel spirit of "O Happy Day" still ringing in our ears, let us ride on the wings of gratitude and fly into the future as Peace Presbyterian. "Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Remember to distribute your Halloween Offering flyers this week. This is a great opportunity to speak to your neighbors and encourage them to help Peace feed the hungry while they fill children‘s bellies with sugar. Tom and Barbara suggest dressing up on Halloween to collect your non-perishables.
