Dear Peace Family,
I am writing this from the lovely mountains of N. Carolina where a dozen Peace people are growing in faith at the Montreat youth conference. Last night in worship, our own senior in high school, Patrick Tuite, did a beautiful job reading scripture to the congregation of 1200 youth and their leaders. Tricia and the others on the planning team have done a great job pulling these first two weeks of youth conferences together around the theme, “In these Waters.” Kim Adams and about fifty others have led small groups of teens in hour-long sessions twice each day this week. Jason, Richard, and I have kept the Peace house together and well-fed, as “back home” leaders. We sit on our porch every morning, giving thanks to God for the sound of the running stream and the privilege of being involved in shaping the lives of young Christians. At dinner every night, we recite the opening of Psalm 121 – I lift my eyes to the hills. From where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. Thank you for supporting us in this immensely valuable trip.
Things to remember at Peace:
Father’s Day Food Drive this Sunday
Beach party at Coquina. Bring your own picnic food and frisbees. June 27 from 4 until sunset.
Mickey Miller is preaching on Luke 8:26-39 this week and Bill Kemp is celebrating at the table of our Lord.
Peace to you,
Elizabeth
