Please see the summary of the brainstorming session we had the end of February with regard to Peace’s future building. We talked about the five goals of Peace and how those goals could be met with property and building. While we may not be able to afford everything we want in the first phase of building, we had many good ideas.
The Fruehs appreciate the meals you have brought. Emily Miller will be coordinating as we go forward. The Donaldsons are grateful for your prayers for their family. Next hearing is the 15th.
Come hear Clay Thomas preach on my favorite stories from Luke — the Parables of the Lost and Found (chapter 15) this Sunday. And pray for Tricia and Clay as they are expecting a new baby again!
Remember the Lenten Challenge from the Mission Team. We hope you have had a meatless meal this week and plan to bring in a can of meat, tuna, or peanut butter for the hungry in Manatee County on Sunday.
A prayer from St. Patrick:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Peace to all the world,
Elizabeth
