Friends,
I had a stress test today, but while there realized that the real stress was not the treadmill in the cardiologist’s office. The real stress test has been the four weeks on the treadmill of lease negotiations. Talk about running in place and going nowhere and feeling pressure in the heart muscle….
Well, finally, by the grace of God and the patience of Job, we are having a signing meeting with MAR tomorrow at 1:00. Hallelujah! We can unload the trailer and all the stress of our uncertainty about church home. God is good! Lively learning classes can begin now, and we can settle in and discover the new possibilities for ministry with week-day and week-night space available. Get ready to grow, Peace!
You’ve shared this stress of the move, and you have other stressors too — at work, at home, with health, with relationships. When your soul is bowed down, remember that your hope is in God. Remember to wait quietly for the rescue of God. Because the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. God’s mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, O Lord. Great is your faithfulness. (adapted from Lamentations 3, read tonight at Cong Care team meeting)
Remember the Peacemaking Offering is this Sunday. We focus on Peace’s second goal — Authentic Relationships — as we come together on World Communion Sunday.
We will have a congregational meeting immediately after worship this Sunday to elect an elder nominating committee. The session’s designees are Tom C. and Ivy R. Three adults more plus a youth are needed. Please speak to whomever you’d like to nominate to see if he or she is willing.
Peace made the presbytery’s newsletter! See attached. If you haven’t seen our new home yet, this is a great Sunday to come.
Grace and peace be with every one of you,
Elizabeth
