We had a wonderful Wednesday at Peace in the Park with forty elementary school kids. Thanks to all who made this day meaningful!
Thanks also for meeting the 1000 pound food goal for our Halloween offering and to those who are providing hospitality for homeless families in Family Promise this week. We are also grateful to our devoted volunteers at Mission Beth-El.
We have yet another great opportunity to build peaceful relationships with people from around the world. Let’s help with Cedarkirk’s Christmas International House. The Regulski Shireys who have been coming to Peace (from Northminster) are hosting two Chinese college students from Michigan. You could assist them by offering a meal or activity for these students. Or you could offer to take your own international college students from December 23-27.
Interested in shaping the vision for Peace’s property development? There’s a meeting at the Deiberts’ on Thursday at 7:30 to begin thinking. (No, we’re not building yet…just thinking!)
Faith and Film Movie Night is next Friday at Sue and Chuck McClurg’s house. Come at 7ish for food and fellowship. "The Soloist," which I’ve heard is a wonderful film, begins at 7:30.
The Peace Choir is singing "O Happy Day" at the presbytery meeting at Venice Presbyterian Church on Thursday at 1:50! Come for the morning worship at 9:30 and/or hear Rick Ufford-Chase at 10:25, former moderator of the PC(USA) General Assembly, an outstanding elder and peacemaker.
Hope you’re still hanging tightly to your gratitude rock and thinking about what you can give back joyfully on Dedication Sunday — November 22. Read the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel, chapters 1 and 2 to prepare for Sunday’s worship.
Peace to you,
Elizabeth
