Peace be with You!

Peace Family and Friends,

As we spring forward with our clocks this week, Peace Church moves to a weekly 10:00 worship hour, because we have heard that many of you would appreciate that. For those who liked the earlier hour, we thank you for bearing with us while we try the new schedule for a few months.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, a time to renew your commitment to Jesus Christ. We had a syrupy good Fat Tuesday Pancake Br-inner last night, raising $500 for the Peace Youth. We look forward to being marked with the sign of the cross tonight at 7:00, asking God to wash clean our hearts.

Did you know that the most substantial Christian formation happens in churches where intergenerational relationships provide loving support and steady encouragement for faithfulness? There are relationships of convenience – and then there are relationships of commitment. We are committed to sticking with you, through thick and thin. Come, be part of the inspiring, authentic, nurturing, compassionate, and responsive life of Peace Presbyterian on Lakewood Ranch Blvd at Technology Terrace.

New learning opportunities coming to Peace soon – Couples “at Peace”, Spiritual Masters, Discover Your Gifts, Revelation. Fellowship activities abound too! You should have seen the Peace family (ages 7-57) playing kickball together in the park. Call or email to learn more.

Peace be with you all,

Elizabeth
