This Week at Peace - - October 29, 2010

Peacemakers,

This Sunday we dedicate our new ministry center with prayers of thanksgiving and blessing! We remember in prayer all the saints who have gone before us. We read the 1 Kings 17 story of God’s provision in the life of a prophet, a widow, and a boy. They have little but in their trusting and sharing, discover plenty.

Don’t miss a very popular adult class called “Enough” which had 25 participants last week but we will not call that enough! There are still Dinner slots in the next two week-ends for those who have not Feasted on Gratitude. We have third quarter giving statements for you. Please find yours in the attractive wooden, hinged box.

Hear Sunday about Alternative Gifts International, a wonderful new opportunity from our Mission Team and Betty Clough to make Christmas giving doubly meaningful.

And mark your calendars for Fun-day Sunday, December 5th. This is an all hands on deck event, so sign up to help Peace to welcome new friends and grow. See attached the flyer that will go to school bookbags, along with a postcard via mail to neighbors ages 30-50.

Pray for Peace – peace in our homes, as we struggle to find harmony and love one another… peace in our church to bring a contagious joy to our community…peace in country as we go to the polls remembering the dignity of all candidates and all people….peace in our world as our global connections make life simpler and more complex.

A Congregational Meeting is scheduled for next Sunday to elect elders, and assuming the Nominating Committee is able to complete their discernment process, we will meet after worship on the 7th.

Remember the Halloween Food Offering. Drop your ten flyers off asap, if you have not already.

Peace and love to you,
Elizabeth
